This looks like a guy that would be good to have as swing PF/C.

Looks like he is a more skilled shooter than Precious but doesn't rebound as well.

Both are understatements- nearly 400% from 3, rebounds at a shockingly low rate!

Doesn’t smell like a Thibs guy. Eastern European training regimen of cigarettes, dough, and beer?

Whbat I like about him is that we could but out there a lineup where you can't double off of anyone, which is what Boston does.

Can’t we take it easy on Arvydas Sabonis?

Another Fournier? No thanks. Not what we need and not what Thibs uses anyway.

I think Fournier is better rebounder and shooter! And Defender! So please don't insult EF by putting him in the same sentence.

Bertans offers a player in practice who the bigs can practice defending from the 3 pt line which is a real weakness and also provide a specialist at the end of quarters and games where we can call a time out and insert him in for a last shot as a decoy or to take a three. So 2 seconds left in the playoffs and you need a last shot to tie or win and you sub Bertans in for Mitch. Bertans, ,OG, Bridges, Brunson, and Devo, use Bertans as the in bounder, and he gets into position to get the pass to shoot it to be a decoy leaving the others more open
