This shit again? See Scola please. It is much easier to rebound in the NBA than in the Euroleague.

Cool. Youth movement in full effect.

Givony at DX knocks his rebounding at one point, but KBP is right here, at least in principle. Rpg numbers are in general lower in Yurp.

why?

Slower pace. Rotations are extended so minutes per game aren't as high.

Well I think Haislip would be a good addition. Especially if they sign him for the minimum or LLE. I liked what I saw from him. Wonder what that means for future trades/signings.

way better this last year in Europe, but still not really good in euroligue.

Another interesting fact from the Win Chart: PF Marcus Haislip may have been one of the worst players in NBA history. Indeed, I've done Win Charts for about five complete NBA seasons from five different eras, and Haislip is the first player I've ever calculated with more than 200 minutes of playing time and a Marginal Win Score that was worse than -6.00 (Actually, I can't remember any as bad as -5.00, but I'm not sure). How'd he do it? Basically, by doing nothing well (except he was a bit of a shot blocker). In every important statistical category he was grossly outproduced. He was a terrible scorer, terrible rebounder, terrible passer, and terrible defender. Oh, and he was a foul machine. And he turned the ball over a lot. He was bad to the bone.

don't know but would be interesting if someone has seen him play enough to give a legit opinion. being ranked 3rd in overseas FA by draftexpress sounds good though.

you know the local paper is gonna read this thread and report it like they got the inside scoop. it will be in monday paper. bet.

Apparently, he's improved since his time in the NBA, namely his 3 point shooting. If he could just hit 3s at 39% or so, the bigs running out at him would be faked fast, the and-1 dunks in the lane would pile up: he's 6'10 with prime Vince Carter hops.

But he'd have to play at least average defense.

Got McDonald?

:lol

Nice to know that all of those "inside sources" were so far off... no Gortat, no Frye, probably not even so much as an appointment with Sheed. Marcus Haislip! Hilarious!

:lol

Haislip would be a good signing for the Vet Min, but no way he replaces the the Spurs 17th Annual Sheed Hunt!!!

BYOPF!!!

(Bring Your Own Power Forward/Pitch Fork)

That's alot of young big guys.

Sounds a bit like Tim Thomas

Sounds like Bonner is doomed...

He has a nice jab too!! Now all we need is someone to sign Lennox Lewis and we'll have some use for him!

This guy could well end up being the steal of the free agency... damn I'm a fan already... he looks more developed than Gist for sure... unless Bonner is traded the Gist has almost zero chance of sticking around this season... unless he shows his game as a 3 is refined...

Haislip was good in Europe, but this would still be a bit of surprise. LLE i guess is gone now?

He shot right at 40% from 3 being the 1st option on the team. He is bound to get more open looks a la Bonner with the Spurs. I do worry about all the new faces "getting" the defense. The last 25 games of the season should be interesting.

Well thats why they start early in training camp :toast

Any chance of Haislip play in the summer league team?

Pretty random. Nice to see the Spurs looking at some different targets. Good for them.

I remember confusing up this guy with Melvin Ely, even though they were not similar players. I think they were drafted right near each other as well.
