He brings defense and rebounds anything he does after that is gravy

To be fair, no one was holding their breath for Brook to turn himself into a kind of an Al Horford last season either.

Like everybody else is saying, he'll never live up to his contract, but I think he'll definitely surprise people and people will remember he can still be a serviceable Center. I don't think he'll just be a player filling in a role, I think he'll be a guy who makes the team better.

great point man.

I think he'll be the starter here, if not for most of the season then maybe all of it. He's not a negative player, he's going to take the pressure of Allen to contribute right away, and he's got rapport with Kenny. He's also one of the oldest (if not the oldest now) players on the team, so he knows he's going to have to mentor and lead to an extent. I think he'll embrace his role with the Nets and surprise a lot of people with what he can do.

Now will he start knocking down 3s? that'd be great, but I won't hold my breath for him to be as good of a 3 point shooter as Brook was. He will however, get rebounds and finish at the rim better than Brook though.

I'll be excited to see RHJ and Moz paired together around the rim and expect a lot of big dunks from these duds.

I got my fingers crossed that they bring back Acy too. Hes got the hustleman mentality and hes a good teamate that can play three positions.

I think he will be shooting a lot of threes, whether he makes a high percentage is another story.

Don't forget bone crushing screens

I remember in the 2015 finals when he just leveled Steph Curry just by casually stepping into Currys path.

It was human colliding with solid brick wall

Season Highlights - Timofey MozGOD

Do you guys think that he'll be able to come close to his per 36 numbers?

just give me 8 pts, 7 rebs, and a block per game and i'm fine. I have always been a Mozgov guy.

No chance I believe you.

Either he was unmotivated or he was unhealthy.

Mozgov averaged around 10 rebound per 36, 8.6 last year.
Lopez around 8, 6.5 last year

Per36 isnt applicable to Moz, if he could play those kind of minutes he already done so, in his career he never plays that much. So you say unhealthy or unmotivated, why why he be motivated in bk? And at his peak he barely avg 7/gm. You'll see for yourself next yr, dont say i didn't warn you.

Princeinrevolt · Post #51 » by **Princeinrevolt** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 4:31 am

Per 36 is applicable because he doesn't play that many minutes. I don't remember a moment where I thought Mozgov was a bad rebounder, and I watched every Lakers game last season.

He played 25mins at his peak, if you think youre getting 30+mins from this guy i feel sorry for you. This dude had games with 0-3 reb gms playing nearly 20mins, that freaking dam embarrasing for someone thats 7'1

Perhaps you've heard of Brook Lopez. We are used to centres who don't rebound. Last year was Mozgov's worst rebounding year and it was still better than Lopez's career average. Last year Lopez's TRB% was 9.6, Mozgov's was 13.1. And Lopez only played 30mpg so with Allen learning his trade we don't Mozgov to ever play 30 minutes. If he can give us 20mpg with improved rebounding and team defense, you won't find a disappointed Nets fan in sight.

Mozgov gonna git a double double on 27 mins a game next year.

When a big guy feels involved on offense they tend to come alive in all facets of the game like rebounding and defense. Its similar to how BroLo looks way more alive on offense when he gets the ball and becomes sluggish when he's off ball.

With Lin and DLo running alot of motion strong and PnR action, Mozgov is gonna either be left wide open to shoot outside as defenses scramble to stop our wings from setting screens and getting open, or he's gonna rim run like a mofo and get lobs to finish. Lin will definitely find him down cutting or fighting for position down low on penetration and if Mozgov can finish above the rim thats good for at least 2 dunks a game.

Mozgov will basically show what Mitch and Jim Buss were signing him for. Sadly he wasnt able to fully show his game due to his misutilization by the Lakers.

PER36 isnt applicable to lopez either as he doesnt have the stamina to do it

Mozgov grabbe 5 rebounds a game in 20 minutes last year

Lopez grabbed 5.5 rebounds a game in 30 minutes last year

lopez is the worst rebounding 7 footer the game has ever seen.

Lopez played 33 minutes vs. the cavs and grabbed ONE rebound

32 v houston with one rebound

28 vs denver with one rebound

33 vs atlanta with one rebound

there is no way mozgov is as close to as bad a rebounder as lopez. that is absurd

Prokorov · Post #57 » by **Prokorov** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 12:46 pm

There is just no chance mozgov is worse then lopez in the rebounding or defense departments. brook was as bad as it gets there

Ror1997 · Post #58 » by **Ror1997** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 12:46 pm

Our rebounding isn't as bad as it seems. Lopez gettingnout rebounded 15-6 everygame made it look bad, but guys like RHJ And KJ were grabbing 10 a game.

I would still love to sign Alan Williams though. Reggie Evans type rebounder and that's always useful to have on your bench.

I never said anything bout lopez being better or worse than Mozgov, just saying yku guys expect better rebounding with Mozgov are going to be sorely disappointed. Funny how things wirk, when he was in la he's a top 5 worse contract niw hes in bk and you guys are defending him and hoping for good things from him lol

But he is a better rebounder than Lopez, so yes we expect better rebounding. If he can give us 8 and 6 in about 20mpg with a PER around 15, I'll be over the moon. I couldnt care less about his contract. That contract got us Dlo so who cares of he's over paid by 3 or 4 million a year.
