Finding The Bigman

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Amen brother.

This kid will fill the hole, and he's gonna learn a lot from Timmy and Rob that Jerome James and Eddy Curry will never comprehend, let alone learn.

[IcemanCometh]

let's not start sucking each others' s just yet

[JUUOT]

Props to the Spurs getting the best bigman left on the market

timvp, How would Elson do in the original standing you made?

[50 cent]

Good call on Butler timvp. How would Elson have ranked with the same stats compared to the others?

[Solid D]

Partial backpatter. timvp WAS a bit too pessimistic about the chances of the offer for Butler being matched.

Agree. I figured the Spurs knew something thanks to Larry and that is the reason they offered what they did.

Not my fault Spurs got lucky.

Oh, okay.

For those wondering, here is the Francisco Elson breakdown:

FRANCSICO ELSON

Restricted Free Agent
Points - 8.9 (2)
Rebounds - 8.6 (3)
RbR - 10.1 (1)
Blocks - 1.1 (7)
Assists - 1.2 (6)
FG% - .532 (9)
Jumper% - .434 (9)
TOffense - +0.0 (6)
TDefense - +2.3 (6)
TReb - +0.6% (4)
-----------------
Total - 53


His score of 53 puts him in around the middle of the pack. The scary thing is his rebounding rate is worse than all the other players listed. Even worse than Darius Songaila, a perimeter oriented power forward who is a noted bad rebounder.

So the Spurs get destroyed by the Mavs on the glass and then go out and get the worst rebounding center in the game?

If he plays against the Mavs, his rebounding is still better than Finley's.

I don't think Finley thinks rebounding is part of the game. He certainly didn't in Dallas.

[timvp]

The Spurs get one and two on the timvp list.

RC owes me part of his paycheck.

[Spurminator]

They just did that because they were sick of you dogging Elson and they wanted to prove to you that he's better than both of them.

[LEONARD]

it's more fun to bump old threads that are wrong...since they're so numerous...

but good call...

[ChumpDumper]

No Spurs transaction is official until the presentation of the kluby.

[T Park]

He's a good all-around player who could possibly work well next to Duncan.

Sweet

True. But the kluby should be awarded for this performance:

You had them ranked above Reggie Evans.


Does this mean you like Ely more than Evans?

Damn, that girl is a freakin genius.

Melvin Ely - Available for a expiring contract and a pick.

Now they need to go do some other stuff on that list.

QUESTION

Nah, I'd still would take Evans because of the rebounding, but Ely has shown flashes of being decent in the past. If this trade becomes anything more than a salary dump, it's a damn good trade.
