Spurs Look To Europe For Center

[Buddy Holly]

One is strong, one isn't.

Considering no one here has ever really watched the guy play more than 10 minutes, I say we don't know who'd win in a benchpress off.

[timvp]

Oh great, the Quad and Buddy show again.

I'm not going to even start this ish again.

[T Park]

Think along the lines of Vlade Divac.

Yeah that kind of player never does well in the NBA.

[Kori Ellis]

All the scouting reports say he's not that athletic or strong. That's probably why timvp said he's not strong.

[Buddy Holly]

Start what?

You made a comment you can't fully back up.

[velik_m]

Vujicic is as soft as they get.

has a nice range though.

[timvp]

Vlade was a pretty strong guy.

Only a matter of time before people start seeing the positives in Olowkandi manning the post.

I've actually thought about how Kandi wouldn't be thaaaat bad.

[Kori Ellis]

I just backed it up.

Now get back on topic.

There you go.

Someone who has seen him play.

Way to avoid the issue that you're comment about 1 being strong and 1 not was 100% speculation. He has pretty big shoulders in the pic but nobody knows.

It's not 100% speculation. It's in all the scouting reports that he's not strong.

Move on.

[Quadzilla99]

OK.

[Kori Ellis]

Ok I'll take your word good guess Timvp.

You need to stop with your idiocy.

velik is a foreign poster who has seen him play.

Nice edit job

Move on.

I fixed it.

Now get back on topic.

What you backed it up with is a generic scouting report that's been used an reused.

Something like "Though he is not especially athletic or strong"

, on draft night that player we drafted was listed as having large arms and short arms.

You can't determine anything until you see it for yourself.

velik has seen him play and just said he's soft.

Everything I read on the guy says he's a finesse player and not strong.

[TDMVPDPOY]

spurs would only sign kandiman if he cuts that hairstyle of his that makes him look like a gurl

[Quadzilla99]

He could be strong physically but play softly. His pic he looks pretty big with somewhat big shoulders, but Velik has seen him play and says he's soft on the court. Would he consider Arvydas soft though? Because big, filled out, foreign passing big man sounds similar to Sabonis style.

[Kori Ellis]

By what I'm reading, it looks like this guy is under contract with Maccabi. So we are probably wasting a lot of time talking about him for nothing.

[T Park]

The guys is said to be an adequate to decent defender.

6'11

long.

Big.

If he can stay in front of Dirk, and score on the other end from outside taking pressure off of Duncan.

Isn't that OK?

[Buddy Holly]

Maybe that Russian center we drafted and is now on the summer league team will turn out to be the next Hakeem or Shaq or David.

'Starts to cry.'

[SenorSpur]

I would be hesitant to go into the season with the center spot manned by 3 players in Vujcic, Javtokas and Oberto who may or may not be able to put up any kind of numbers in the NBA. I'd feel more comfortable with someone like Collins, Wright, Butler, etc. here in one of the spots. They aren't great, but you know they aren't going to completely bust if they are giving 20+ mpg.

Couldn't agree more. This is a bad move. The Spurs cannot afford to develop a starting center "on the fly".

[Quadzilla99]

If he's first team All-Euroleague and a legit 6'11 he's got to be able to be at least a decent 20 minute a night guy.

Before I go to bed, here is a thread on the pre-season game Maccabi won versus Toronto. It's not a game that was seen by many people. There is a write-up on the game about half-way down with a photo of Vujcic defending Charlie Villanueva. It at least gives some point of reference of his play versus NBA talent, even though it was Toronto in the pre-season.
