Hey im wondering how Josh has been doing for you guys and do you think he will develop in to a dcent back up PF?

I loved him when he was in Portland he kinda had like a cult following in portland
He’s not (my-vydas), he’s not (your-vydas), he’s Arvydas

He's an OK energy guy, but it's hard to tell if there's much beyond that. He played about 200 minutes last year, and he'll probably get 600-800 this year.

He's a decent athlete, but he's generally lost away from the ball, plus he's stuck behind Murphy, Foster, and probably Hansbrough at the four. I kind of see him as a poor man's Brian Cardinal.
I have no idea what you're talking about, and clearly, neither do you.

last year in the preseason he showed me much more potential than I expected to see but as the year went on he earned very little playing time. he didn't show the coaching staff whatever it was they were looking for which I assume must have been defense. the signing of Solomon Jones seems to confirm that. however, the problem was subtle enough that I never really saw it and felt he deserved more PT than he was getting. still I don't look for him to get many minutes this year and he's likely to spend a lot of time inactive barring injuries.

Decent? Try excellent or superb. His athleticism is the best aspect of his game. He needs to get more confidence with the ball and if he wants to be a perimeter power forward like he seems to then he needs to improve his perimeter shot. He's kind of like a young Raef LaFrentz with more athleticism.
