Kori had a good scouting report. Maybe you'll get a copy and paste.
On Nazr Mohammad? You guys have watched this guy play for one-and-a-half seasons. You know the ins and outs of this guy, I'm sure. What are his strengths and weaknesses?

Check the Nazr to the Pistons thread... there's a lot of info.
Here's my post. http://spurstalk.com/forums/showpost...&postcount=237

You are 7' tall, why the are you pump faking and just slam the damn ball
Here's the ESPN Insider scouting report on him going into the 2005-06 season, but keep in mind he really disappointed last year, and like I told another Pistons fan barring some new rule interpretation that permits the applications of Lester Hayes amounts of Stickum to his prone to ball dropping hand prepare to be cursing at the TV plenty for the next 5 or so years:

Just a guess, but I'd say he's the best player ever whose first name ended in "zr." The "Spuzrs" acquired Mohammed from the Knicks at midseason after he had delivered a surprisingly potent offensive attack for New York. He wasn't quite as effective offensively in San Antonio, probably because he was over his head to begin with, but he gave San Antonio the rebounding and shot-making that Nesterovic couldn't.
Mohammed is a smart player who has a nose for the ball on the glass, resulting in one of the best Rebound Rates among centers. He's an outstanding help defender too. Mohammed doesn't block as many shots as Duncan or Rasho -- although he blocked shots at an uncharacteristically high rate in his 23 games as a Spurs -- but he can use his body to root out post players and will take charges.
Offensively, Mohammed has an ugly hitch in his jump shot and shoots mostly line drives, but he has become reasonably accurate with it from inside 12 feet. That and the offensive rebounds allow him to subsist as an offensive player despite having a limited post game and terrible hands. Overall, he's an upgrade from Nesterovic, and the Spurs probably wouldn't have won the le without him.
That part about him being an outstanding help defender is btw^^.
That might be the worst scouting report I ever read.Mohammed is a smart player who has a nose for the ball on the glass, resulting in one of the best Rebound Rates among centers. He's an outstanding help defender too.
Yeah John Hollinger might get fired over that one.
Kiss your D goodbye...and say o to a lot of under the basket bonehead TO's...
You been there and done that with the typcial inconsistent NBA C right? That's what you got...Except he's a really good FT shooter.
I think so. Zelly Rebraca is the only player to come to mind. You'll have to forgive me. The last 5 starting centers for the Pistons are Ben Wallace (2000-2006), Terry Mills (1999-00), Bison Dele (1997-1999), Otis Thorpe (1995-1997), and Mark West (1994-95).
Here's my report on him.
Positives: He can rebound at a high rate and became a really good free throw shooter last year. Plus he has decent athleticism. Somewhat physical (at least more so than Rasho). Good offensive rebounder. Not a problem guy off the court. Has a couple of decent post moves.
Negatives: He gets so lost on defense you look at him at least once a game and wonder what the he is doing. Can drop any kind of pass thrown to him in any kind of situation-really versatile in this regard. Basketball IQ of 70-75- horrible almost at a Yinka Dare level. Legendarily bad hands. Tries to go back up with his Offensive rebounds instead of passing them back out-usually resulting in him getting stuffed. Awful hands. Slow to react. Did I mention he has bad hands?

His indian guide name is Blocked by Guards. Never seen a 7 footer who's shot get consistantly sent back by guys who are 6'2" and under. The pump fakes and butterfingers will get old, too.
Mainly, all you need to know is HE AINT NO BEN WALLACE. You'll like his effort, and it'll be wierd to see your center make 2/3rds of his free throws, but that's about it.
If Nazr is half as bad for the Pistons as you nimrods make him out to sound, I'll be really glad he's gone.
He'll be fine in an offensively oriented system, which Detroit will likely go for. He can get long-range rebounds from the perimeter shooters. Detroit doesn't have that many slashers who go for dump-off passes. Richard Hamilton has an excellent mid-range game and doesn't have to take it all the way in; the other slasher is Prince, who can usually finish by himself. (Otherwise the dump-off passes go astray...)
I'll be interested to see how he plays if he shows up for camp.
He'll be infuriating. At times he'll look awesome and rack up a bunch of boards and have some sweet jams. Then he'll follow that up by fumbling away passes and pump faking the out of the ball...or being entirely out of position and ing up a defensive set.
My guess is that he very quickly engages the ire of Piston Fan. It's already tough enough for him being the following act for Big Ben. No center would survive that easily. But with his skill set, Piston Fan will be ing about him in the 1st ten seconds of the 1st preseason game.
I don't think Pistons fans have had enough success to be such frontrunning snobs like the Spurs fans have become.
Give your souting report of him then, listing his positives and negatives.
It's being a snob to give a realistic assesment of a player that just didn't make it here? Call me a snob then. His bad points outnumber his good ones.
Good:
75-80% FTS
occasional bursts of ORebs
decent jumper out to 15
Bad:
Butter fingers
Butterbean brain
thinks you get points for every pump fake
completely disappears for long stretches
silly fouls often resulting in and1s
I'm 30 years old. So, as far as NBA les, I've seen just as much success as any Spurs fans, seeing as I've been through THREE NBA LES. Plus, I've seen two other NBA FINALS in which the Pistons lost. FIVE NBA FINALS, THREE NBA LES.
Spurs fans have seen more success?
No offense, but you.
Holy ...Jam busts out with the first f-bomb I have seen from him in quite some time. Anyway, I really don't care about his offensive capabilities...remember, we had Ben Wallace. He pump faked a of a lot, and was a horrible finisher.
So you're saying Piston fans are snobs, too?
