Nelson could turn into a good find, don’t you think? CJ is a really good shooter, but I don’t think I saw him run a pick and roll at all. Then again Nellie oddly had him play with BD and of course BD wanted the ball so CJ became more of a forgotten shooter mostly and I never got the sense of whether he can run the team or not.

It’s true that, like most leagues that are put together this fast, the games tend to be guard-centric. It never hurts for our players to get game-time experience with each other. I’m perfectly fine with Kosta playing in the Olympics, especially since he’s not likely to get heavy minutes for us next year.

It would have been fun to see him with the new guys, though. However, Randolph and Wright lack the bulk to effectively defend the center position, and Hendrix is a little short at under 6’8″ in shoes. He’s got the strength, weight, and reach, however, and will probably be the 5 on defense, at least.

pob is actually a decently skilled player. he just doesnt have much fire in him. that’s why he hasnt played well. you can’t be relatively successful in the league without some competitiveness in you.

i like to see w’s go after josh mcroberts if he doesnt make the pacers.

“rather than having a 7-foot stiff on the roster”.

Hey, POB ain’t around no more.

it’s the summer league. center or not, it doesn’t make a difference. it’s not very organized in the summer ball, so hendrix and wright can play down low without problems. it’s probably better to play the young guys and see what they can do rather than having a 7-foot stiff on the roster.

I am curious what they plan to do without a center, though. Think we might see Hendrix, Randolph, and Wright all playing at the same time?

Kosta is with the Serbian National Team, preparing for the Olympics. He recently made it clear that his goal is still to be an NBA player.

To say the least, we’ve been lucky with D League and unsigned players so I’m hoping we can fill one or even more roster spots with some untapped talent. I was thinking of D Nelson as well. At least Nellie might like the name.

As Sfhand said, where’s the beef (the 5)? Have you heard anything about whether Kosta is heading for Europe? Are you worried? I was wondering if we should be trying to sign Okafor if Brand, then Smith and Iggy aren’t available. I see him more of a Plan C than Cory M.
