How about Marcus Fizer he's a 6'8 SF and is 26. He can backup Bruce Bowen and learn from him.

but he can play SF



NBA comparison: Charles Barkley

Strengths: Super strong and athletic. Mentally tough. Great competitor. Can score both in the post or on the perimeter. Has very good ball handling skills. Versatility will allow him to play some small forward. His strength, positioning, and leaping ability will help overcome heigh disadvantages for rebounds. Excells in half court or open court despite lack of speed. Has good quickness. A winner.

Weaknesses: A bit short for the PF position. Not extremely fast in the open floor.

A true warrior, Marcus Fizer has turned the Cyclones into a legit possible Final Four team. Combining great strength and athleticism with a nice shooting touch, Marcus looks as close to Charles Barkley as any player since. Exhibiting super leaping ability and body control, Fizer excels both on the break or in a half court set. Like Sir Charles, Marcus has a certain attitude that he brings to every game that he will not be denied. When a game is on the line Marcus wants the ball in his hands and has come up big late in games throughout his career.

It pays to watch some NBA instead of relying on NBADraft.net.

There is no way Fizer is even a short term answer at SF.

Yeah, no kidding. Fizer is about as much of a small forward as Rasho. That profile you are quoting is before he stepped foot on an NBA court. Since then, he's proven that he's an undersized power forward who has had a tough time finding a spot in the league.

Please. Let's stop this idea at once. Fizer doesn't have SF ability. He's slow and tends to pull a lot of houdinis if you know what I mean.

Fizer is pretty much crap. He couldnt do anything on the Bucks. THE BUCKS! He sucks.

HE CAN'T SHOOT. That's why LJ III was given his walking papers.
