Spurs: Top 20 Available Bigmen

[timvp]

1. Darius Songaila - He's a damn good player. Very underrated. Probably too expensive.
2. Dale Davis - Davis is old, but still a hard ass. Unlikely he'll take what the Spurs can offer.
3. Vitaly Potapenko - A big, strong dude. Good defender. Definitely an enforcer.
4. Othella Harrington - Had a good season last year. Would be a good fit.
5. Elden Campbell - Old as dirt but he's the closest thing in the league to a Shaq stopper.
6. Mikki Moore - Spurs have had him in training camp before. A good athlete.
7. Brian Grant - Undersized but wouldn't be a horrible 11-12th man. Can guard Shaq.
8. Tony Massenburg - Spurs not showing much interest. Played pretty well last year.
9. Bo Outlaw - Outlaw is the one-man full court press. SA native would be decent.
10. Ervin Johnson - A leader in the lockerroom. Not much on the court anymore, though.
11. Andrew DeClercq - A hard worker who would be a pretty good 12th man.
12. Alan Henderson - Would have been higher if not for his arrest this summer.
13. Tom Gugliotta - He's probably finished but has a midrange good jumper.
14. Christian Laettner - Not really Spurs material but fits the mold of a fifth bigman.
15. Rodney Rogers - Spurs wanted him last year. Still trying to figure out why.
16. Robert Traylor - There might be a player under all that body armor.
17. Malik Allen - Pop probably would murder this Malik. He plays like Rose but shoots more.
18. Walter McCarty - Will hit threes now and then. Not a big fan.
19. DeSagana Diop - Might be the worst player in the NBA. Young enough to be a project.
20. Kevin Willis - Why not? Probably could still outrun most centers.

Not a bad list for a fifth bigman. I think Dale Davis would be too much money. I wouldn't mind Potapenko as a limited minutes enforcer.

I would have put Robert Traylor higher.
He played very well and with a lot of heart/energy at the end of the regular season with cleveland to do the playoff.

I say the Spurs go with Outlaw. He is a good veteran player, with some gas still left in the tank. He would fit into our system nicely.

I've always found Tractor fascinating. He can move pretty well for a lard-butt, pretty aggressive on the boards, and has some moves around the basket. Doesn't foul as bad has TMass. I've also seen him get pretty passionate and hustle. I think he really gives a fuck enough to realize what a chance the Spurs would be.

He just looks like he otta be sitting a blues bar somewhere playing guitar at 3AM rather than playing basketball. :)

Kevin Willis, Elden or Potapenko to guard snaq.
