Mbenga?

[shortodom]

Does this guy suck? I'm asking cause there is a rumor we're (lakers) gonna sign him. He can't be worse then Kwame right? What does he bring to the table?

[frsh90]

He's Kwame lite

[Hopper15]

"Taco"

He had his best game against the Lakers this year.

[shortodom]

Kwame lite please tell me your joking

[crzy]

Kwame > Mbenga

[FNQ]

Lakers will get MBENGA'D!

[gusyouout]

mbenga has brick hands and can't catch the ball either. he can't shoot layups, and some dunks for that matter just like kwame. his defense is meh. he does have some instances where he gets a couple buckets, rebounds, and or blocks. he's not athletic. i think i'd take kwame over him. i think it was the knicks game where he missed a wide open layup and dunk, correct me if i'm wrong please. i think he threw the ball and it ended up hitting the backboard and flying towards half court lol; didn't even touch rim.

[shortodom]

are you guys serious or just busting my ballz? Kwame is horrible and your saying this guy is worse?? i thought he was supposedly a good shot blocker and rebounder?

[shortodom]

OMG, well thanks "gusyouout" for at least describing him instead of just saying he's worse then Kwame.
Why not get Webber instead then

Its not our fault. You have to see Mbenga to believe Mbenga.

[-bob-]

he sucks but he may have one game where he'll make a difference.

oh, you or some other Laker fan can have my Mbenga avatar.

[Twinkie defense]

shortodom, I told y'all this board is biased. Anything that stands in the way of the great Patrick O'Bryant's greatness must be crushed.

Including Nellie.

And 510 is the worst, in this regard.

Now go back to your board.

And, from one Warriors fan to one Lakers fan... yes, get Webber!

PS Kwame makes $9 mil.

[FNQ]

Yup

Mbenga's solid though... so much so that our big man starved team didn't need him at the league minimum... we instead called up Kosta Perovic, who believe it or not, is even worse...

Mbenga played one good game and a ton of terrible ones... complete offensive liability and isn't a great defender.... slightly above average. Can block, but prefers fouling. Can board though, but doesn't belong in anyone's rotation. He's usually the 14th or 15th smartest thing on the court, right behind the basketball.

POB's wasted potential has nothing do with Mbenga being a waste of a roster space.

[floppymoose]

He won't turn it over as much as Kwame. He will play solid position D and hustle. But he is not as athletically gifted as Kwame and Kobe should not be passing him the ball. Don't expect too much.

[CupcakeNoFillin]

Mbenga > Kwame

It's just that the Lakers would probably play Kwame more because they think that there's potential left in him, being the number 1 overall pick in a draft before.

[WarFan]

The only reason Mbenga didn't turn the ball over more was that the whole team recognized that he couldn't catch it about 2 minutes after he got on the court. After that first game, he'd get maybe 1 chance a game to score and only when he was absolutely uncovered next to the basket and he still f'd up at least half of them. Admittedly, Kwame looked horrid the other night but it almost looked like Phil was trying to embarrass him out there by passing him the ball so much.

[DEEP3CL]

In the mortal words of Florida Evans.............DAMN DAMN DAMN !!!!!

[turk3d]

As stated, he will TRY to play defense and grab rebounds but has difficulty holding the ball (can get several blocks in a row, but will never be able to hold onto the rebound) and the guy he blocked (or one the teammates) will wind up getting the score. Other than that, he's a real nice guy.
