He looks like Shaq out there

In glad they kept playing Whiteside. It showed how unstoppable Boban is. Its undeniable and pop better play him in the playoffs. Have the warriors even seen this guy in the court? CIA POP. Just waiting to unleash him like a nuke.

Camo jerseys

let's honor the men and women who are"defending" our inter .... country

The jerseys are fugly obviously, but not sure what your point is. You'd disappear in a lot of countries for posting something like that on the internet.

Boban needs at ude, a lot more aggression. He seems to be wandering around, being VERY tall, with nice, soft hands, touch. Needs to be a lot tougher, take responsibility for the game's outcome. There's time, I hope.

If we blow them out in the playoffs he can abuse the warriors 3rd stringer.

You can see the problems Boban brings to the team. He's often not agressive enough, he gets pushed around for rebounds, he's not particularly good setting picks for his size, he sometimes looks out of place offensively or he can be a liability on defense due his limited quickness. But he also looks great at times, scores and rebounds at a great rate and even his defense is sometimes like seriously good. I guess it depends on the teams and match-ups he faces, some of it has to do with inconsistency for not enjoying regular playing time and being a NBA rookie, and of course, the garbage-time effect.

All in all, I'm not sold he can become a core player for such a demanding team, especially given the way the NBA is evolving. However, he's in uncharted territory statistically speaking. His PER number is unheard-of for a non-star playing that many minutes. Those coming close are often all-time greats who couldn't play more due injury.

The closest example I could find is Robert Hawkins, who earned a 25.0 PER with the Warriors in the 75/76 season after playing 152 garbage minutes in 32 games (Boban stands at 30.3 PER in 360 minutes and 46 games). Hawkins went to average 19.3 points the following season in the Nets' first NBA campaign, causing some excitement (Sports Illustrated had a feature on him), but he quickly disappeared from the League.

This is amazing research.
