I will stay out of this.

No mort, rebounds dont matter. He "should" be able to get 5 rebounds in13 minutes in his first NBA game playing a portion of those minutes with a busted foot.

But he cant shoot a turn around J so he is an "underachiever" that will never be any good offensively.

Oh yes.....I think my first post here today said I thought he would become a dominant defensive center and excel at rebounds,blocks and keeping his opposite's numbers down.

He had a bad hand when he played those 20 or so games with Ohio,but he didn't look to me like he would be a scorer in the nba.

It's just the way Hossy said it, that's why I laughed....honest.


You know I'm always there for you.

He looks like Mutumbo to me. More athletic than mutombo though. He can shoot with both hands facing the basket. His footwork is awful but so is every big man's until they have spent a couple of years working on it. Look at Shaq. They all don't come into the NBA looking like HAkeem.

Sounds roughly right about Mutumbo...although I'm weak at bb...I just never got into that much.


And so....again---whatever you say when I don't know what I'm talking about is the direction I will go.


I do find your fine work fascinating and I am much better looking than The Philski.

Do you guys want your own room?

See what you can do for me...OK?

You cant say that a player should be a great rebounder based on his size. Thats a fallacy of logic.

If that were the case Yao Ming, Georghe Muresan and Shawn Bradley and Ralph Sampson would be the greatest rebounders in history.

And if that is the case and rebounding is so easy, why didnt Bynum have more than 3 rebounds in over twice the minutes? Why did he average but 6 per game last year in his third season while playing big minutes?
