hey guys - this is a video i recorded from my cam when Mozgov came with the Russian National team to my country (Cyprus) for a friendly tournament in preparation for the World Championships late rthis month . (http://www.lovecyprusbasketball.com/index.htm)

I personally waved at Mozgov during shoot arounds and i pointed my tshirt which was of New York Knicks and he waved back, smiled and gave me a thumbs up- i will try to go up close and personal tomorow or Sunday to talk to him.

my personal scouting report after watching him up close today was that although he did look good in portions- he does need some work such as footwork- defending pick and roll, being more assertive in grabbing the ball as he misses the ball with it right next to him and basically being more aggressive overall.

he had like 7-8 points in like 18 minutes - this was his best play and best play of game.
dunk on a croation guy. i will get another chance to see him tomorrow and Sunday and i will make a bigger mix with all his highlights!!!

I was looking at a video that came up after this one and it is basically a Mozgov highlight reel. Says best of Russian Top 10 for 2009, but its mostly Mozgov dunking off the pick n roll, off the fast break and blocking shots down low. He can move for a big man.

You know I gonna spin wit it

was that supposed to excite us? lol the guy looks like a stiff... I sure as hell hope he is something more than a turnover machine the NBA game is way faster and the guy can barely keep pace in the euro league... Not impressed

What?!? Did you see that 5 inch vertical leap?!?!?

Seriously though, in the second video, some decent blocks and dunks around the 2:05 and 4:20 marks.

Oh good lord... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XkmGrX7O0lQ

Timo is very active and agile. He's not clumsy for a big 7'er. He seems to have great timing and good hands. Basically he's got a good raw skill set. I think he could be useful given his size and finishing ability.

In training camp, needs to work with amare. And just dunk the ball from all angles for 2hrs. Remember amare's rookie and second season, hardest dunks I've ever seen

ill try tonight as the access to the players is very easy here- security level is nowhere near to that of MSG or any other US stadium.

ill just say that to survive in new york and for fans to like you - you gotta play rough- give hard fouls and yes wed love some big dunks!!!!1

Not to be a negative nancy but I'm expecting absolutely nothing out of Mozgov this year. I can't see him getting off the bench. He's def a long term project and has some nice tools but if im the knicks I just keep him on the bench and play up his potential as a mobile legit 7 footer and use him as trade sweetner. I wouldn't ruin that perception by letting him onto the court.

A buddy of mine who's seen the youtube clips made an interesting comparison for Timofey Mozgov ...

Robin Lopez. Thoughts?

I dont see that at all. Robin Lopez has a much better motor - He's quicker, more athletic and more skilled with much better hands compared to the youtube videos I've seen of Mozgov. He reminds me of a much much less skilled Rik Smits.

i'd much rather watch this guy get minutes over a vet who has no future on this team like Jonathan Bender last year.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
