Guest Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 All we need from our Center platoon is to rebound and play defense against the bigger Centers of the league so Al doesn't have to. On offense they have the advantage of drawing their man from the paint to allow driving lanes for Teague. We don't need them to do much. Some here wanted JJ Hickson to play center.

Moderators AHF Posted July 31, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 We don't need them to do much. If we are OK coming in knowing it will be another early round exit from the playoffs. We need a major upgrade at C or wing to do more than a first round exit or non-competitive second round matchup, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted July 31, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 All we got is two Eurobigsofties. They equate to 11th and 12th man. Let's go ahead and get the Polish Hammer in here and play some real basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be significant but the health is a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuzz Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 We've got center depth, and plenty of it. We need an efficient rim protector (can be at the 4 or 5) and a damn nice wing if we want to take the next step to an ECF team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IllestPamfilis Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'm still kinda torn that we didn't get Gorgui Dieng instead of BeBe. Forget the injuries I really think this kid is gonna be a monster. Nothing against BeBe, I think he can become a good player if he works hard and wants it.

IllestPamfilis Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Muscala is heading to Spain with BeBe. So that's another big off the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bebe will never play a minute in the NBA...just my humble opinion....and Ferry knew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 And who do we have for that?4 guys to be exact in horford, brand, Antić, Ayón bad thing about this is that brand will probably be used as our rim protector other than that we have big bodies to throw around yes, no question about that.

Mdizzle5 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Brand as our main rim protector kind of worries me. Especially at this point in his career. I don't see many players being afraid to put up a shot because Brand is there to swat it away. But yes, we do have a lot of big bodies. I wonder if they'll all be on the roster in February.

Premium Member Diesel Posted August 1, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 This reminds me of the time we had Peja. Anyway, I refuse to believe that Ferry is done. I think that what we have are some soft bigs but Ferry knows better than anybody that we will need a defender unless his plan is to keep AL at the C.The thing is that Ferry has said that we are in the market for a C (in so many words). Remember, he didn't want any Center but he wanted the right Center. That and the fact that we have heard him talk about playing Horf at his natural position. WIth DMC not being signed yet, I believe that there's one more move to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh.....well that could be true we have to wait and see them play first but personally I can see Ayón banging in the paint, Brand banging in the paint, Antić banging in the paint!....now wheather or not they are successful or not I don't know...I just want to see some Zaza pachulia effort!That's the thing that I like most about guys like Zaza who really would fit that "scrub" category..you know he's going to go out there and give it his ALL and plus more! He's going to go head to head and bang against the whole team if he has to!......that's what I hope these BIG softies/ scrubs are....3 Zaza pachulia's.

Moderators AHF Posted August 1, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I don't know why people are so pessimistic about Bebe. I think he has a bright future and we will enjoy more of him because of another year of development in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Vol4ever Posted August 1, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 uhhhhh.......................ZaZa was 6-11, Petro was 7-0, and Collins was 7-0. Brand is legit around the basket he is just going down like the sun at night. None of the centers Ferry signed are low post players. Im guessing Brand and Millsap are the low post guys. Everyone else including Horf are outside shooting centers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
