No question in my mind Lorbek is capable of being at least a 20 minute rotation player in the NBA if he were to come over right now. Big question is whether he could adapt to the superior athletic ability of the guys he'd be matched up with. He's smart enough where It wouldn't be suprising to see him make the most of his limitations and still be very effective. In my opinion Lorbek has some of the best offensive footwork out of any frontcourt player playing pro basketball right now, NBA or otherwise. Lorbek is capable of making his defenders look silly in the post.

I think Lorbek could imitate a lot of what Troy Murphy brings to this team, in less minutes, and obviously with less production, comparatively. However, the long-range, accurate shooting, and a bit of a nose for rebounding here and there, sounds about right.

About 15-20 minutes a night, while making a quarter of what Murphy makes? Sounds about right, at most.
