it's very difficult to get anything close to a good big man and this guy has a real shot at being a good solid nBA player at 6-11--i mean he is built just like ratliff-but has smooth offensive moves. i watched him give oOkafor real trouble with his length and he showed IMPRESSIVE offensive skills in the SL. Go out and make a deal with the Lakers--give them 300,000 for his rights.

and by the way it's not good business to sign 2nd round picks to 1 or 2 year deals without a 3rd year option for bird rights. its chump change if you needed to waive anyone making less than 500,000--thats nothing.


finish off the offseason by swiping rodney white for 3 years 7.5mm and grabbing the rights to Douthit and sign him for 2 years with option for 3.


if we bring in those two players where we are now, I think it's a smart compliment to our offseason.

I was impress by that kid also, but I heard he had some legal troubles.... I wonder where that stands now..

I watched Providence a lot last year and I have to agree with you Briggs, the kid definitely could turn into a solid player in this league. He does what is asked of him, plain and simple, and he doesn't need to be the focus of a team's offense to be effective. I would definitely love to give the kid a shot.

I hear that the dude has a real chance of ending up behind bars. If he stays free of trouble I expect IT to read your mind and make a pitch for him, he's done that before giving ppl like Leon Smith, Demarr and Eddie Griffin second chances.

He could definitely develop into the type of Center that we need, I really liked watching this kid play last year. Hopefully, Isiah gives him a shot.
