[Mr. Body]

Another good pick for the Rockets. Not sure how he fits the Spurs.

[Man In Black]

That guy is the White Mr. Fundamental.

[Steve-O-Matic]

....and stiffer than Ron Jeremy's dong during a threesome.

Nick Fazekas has been one of the most impressive workout players around from what we’re told, shooting 75%+ from NBA 3-point range in virtually every city he’s visited. Some are wondering whether he’s not only the best shooting big man in this draft, but maybe the best shooter period. Considering he shot 57% from the field, 43% from 3-point range and 85% from the free throw line this season, that probably isn’t a fluke. If a team like New Jersey trades down in the first round, it could very well be to take him. He also seems to fit well in Los Angeles in the triangle offense, in Houston next to Yao, or even in Phoenix as a shot-maker. The only concern is his uncommonly high foot arches, which some worry may lead to injury problems down the road.

[50 cent]

He would certainly be intriguing next to Duncan playing small ball with his shooting.

[ChumpDumper]

It wouldn't be small ball with Tim and Nick, but any big that can hit the outisde shot can make things interesting.

[Darkwaters]

Fazekas would be cheaper than Bonner. If we really want to keep that type of player on the team then Fazekas wouldn't be a bad choice.

[zekes]

At best, he could carve out a niche for himself a la: Danny Schayes, Matt Bullard, Pat Garrity, Michael Doleac, Raef Lafrentz, etc.

[BigBeezie]

I think the Spurs will either get him, Dudley or Almond.

[samikeyp]

I would not mind seeing him in silver and black. I am a big fan of his game.
