How good is Larry Sanders

[D-BE-LAW]

Im not a milwaukee fan, but his stats look pretty good for his minutes, and he gets a good amount of blocked shots. How is the eye test on this guy, and do you think he deserves more minutes?

[ReasonablySober]

Incredible defensive presence often mitigated by no discernable ability on offense. Sanders and Udoh should be splitting the center minutes, the challenge being finding combinations of players to team them with that makes their lack of offense less of an issue.

Larry Sanders is the next Bill Russell

[LUKE23]

Ibaka with less offensive polish and arguably slightly more defensive impact.

That's the understatement of the year.

Sanders and Udoh should be splitting the center minutes

I think Sanders should clearly be getting more minutes then Udoh at center.

An incredibly softer version of everything every poster has stated here.

Ibaka is a better offensive player now without question. Although Sanders vs. Ibaka's year 3 numbers are very similar in terms of PPG/efficiency.

Ibaka: 12.1 ppg @ .556 TS
Sanders: 11.7 ppg @ .556 TS

Admittedly, Ibaka has made a pretty decent year 4 leap (16.4 ppg @ .614 TS). Hopefully Larry can make a similar leap despite being 2 years older in terms of respective years.

That's probably one of the last words I'd use to describe Sanders. No idea what you're watching.

He's a knucklehead that's in love with himself.

I mean, look at Ibaka percetanges throughout his career outside of the paint. He has a very good jumper, Sanders does not. Both are garbage guys in the paint but Ibaka is a much more rounded player on offense.

Yup. He should be getting 30-35 if he can avoid foul trouble. Udoh can take the rest. This shouldn't be an even split. Sanders is much better.

Every single player in our frontcourt is soft.

[JBucks]

A grossly overrated player who looks good on the Bucks because they have the least amount of talent in the league. Also, bound to be paid by newly minted John Hammond with a $60 million contract.

I said last season I thought Sanders could follow a similar trajectory that Ibaka enjoyed and nobody agreed with me.
