Bonzi is a Beast 

Post#1 » by LakersSquad » Fri Feb 8, 2008 5:02 am

Yall need to use him the post more. I think he's one of the best 3rd or fourth options on any nba team.

Yeah, he's great when he's in that attack mode which he was in today. Problem is, he can be lazy at times and settle for jump-shots where his game becomes below average and very inconsistent like all our other tole players. If he could play FT line in and attack the basket and not settle, definitely he'd make us a more improved team, but this was his first good game in a while so I'd like to see some more consistency.

He's just unstoppable when he's posting up. You gotta send double teams because theres not a Guard or SF that can hold hold him. well maybe Artest but I can't think of another. Come to think of it if yall traded T-mac for Artest Yall would have upgraded ur roster defensively big time.

Depends who is on Bonzi. When Damon Jones is on you anybody can look like a beast.

He was the Kings best player the other year in the playoffs posting up bruce bowen also. And he rebs like a mad man when he wants to.

That's the problem, he's extremely inconsistent and is very prone to settling. If he was aggressive every game, then he'd really be our third option and we wouldn't be looking at trades to try to acquire one.

Sounds like Odom up until the Pau trade.

True, Bonzi is an exceptional low post player, but today is not a good measure of how good he is since Cavs played the worst basketball and they barely played any defense today. Maybe they're missing the aggressiveness of Varejao and Drew gooden. When bonzi gets 10 rebounds, you know that theres something wrong with the opponents defense. Hes a good rebounder but rarely 10 rebounds a game. But it will improve bonzi's confidence.
