POB
Strength/Stamina may be why McH and Co aren't high on him:

Tall order
The Celtics continued their search for a big man by working out Patrick O'Bryant, Golden State's first-round pick (ninth overall) out of Bradley in 2006.

The 7-foot center showed decent range and solid footwork taking feeds in the post. But when he hit the low post against Wisconsin's Brian Butch and Detroit Mercy's Ryvon Covile, who had each been practicing since 9 in the morning, O'Bryant was tugging at his shorts not even 15 minutes into the drill, struggling to muster enough strength to defend either.

Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss pointed out that O'Bryant arrived in Boston at 1 a.m., although he tired quickly against players who had been on the court all morning. O'Bryant took the court at approximately 11 a.m.

so he struggled defending some D-leaguer type of player? or its just he's not warmed up yet.....

according to what they said there i dont think the wolves could use him at the moment...

Not so much hype, but the opportunity to get a local big man, who many feel never got a fair chance in Golden State.

1. He's 7 feet tall.
2. He's a local kid.

That's it.

I've waited ten years to say this:

Maybe we've already got too many big men?
