Anyone have any info or the scoop on this guy? Wondering also why we keep on picking up these 7+ foot college guys we have a boat load of them now. Maybe chances are one of them will become the next andrew bynum hehe

thats our 3rd 7 footer we picked up this off season(sacre included)

they either really want some practice bodies for camp, or one of these 3 are insurance for dwight just in case he misses some time at the start of the season

Good sign, we're lack of front court depth. If Paul/Howard get injured, we can kiss our championship chance goodbye. We also need a big body to do some dirty work.

Here is our list of big men (players to play and potentially play at 4 and/or 5):

Dwight, Pau, Jordan Hill, Sacre, Somogyi, Jamison, Earl Clark, Reeves Nelson,
and now Aguilar.

Im sure we will be letting go of a couple.

We had this lack of depth perenially. But all of a sudden this year after picking up Dwight, we lack frontcourt depth? Why we didnt do this prior seasons with Bynum is confusing to me.

lol.. Jamison??? All he does now is shoot 3s. Sacre, Somogyi, Reeves Nelson won't even make the team. The only true big man backup we've is Hill.

You've got to be kidding me dude.....you seriously think this boy gonna dress in an actual NBA game ?

Haha but really I doubt any of these rookie bigs take minutes away from our already loaded front line.

Of course not, but at least Mitch knows what we're lacking.

Got to have a balance line up for camp. He will be there to help out, and if he does well. He might get a end of the bench spot. Better to have that kind of player than not to have one.

I've literally heard that about every camp fodder signed....we can't have a 20 man roster guys,snap out of it

The reason we keep signing bigs is because Dwight will be out for awhile of training camp and I think the coaching staff are trying to see if Jamison can play the 3 well and train him for that spot
So we'd have only 2 real bigs with guaranteed contracts,Hill and Pau

So that's why Aguilar,Somogyi and Nelson were signed,along with Sacre,to have some big bodies at the beginning of training camp...NONE of them will make it if Dwight's back early and he's good to go at the beginning of the season

If not I can envision one of them making the cut,and it will probably be Sacre

I was about to say after watching his clips, he has some potential to develop in the D-League but looks like he already played in the D-League for the Bakersfield Jam.
