I think a lot of people are overrating his skinny physique too much in correlation with guarding 4s and 5s. Look around the league: most of the PFs are either perimeter-oriented or wingmen that aren't the bulkiest nor have a competent post game. I think he'll do fine at the 4 and (on some matchups) 5 easily.

Celtics should pick Isaac. Good potential offensively and defensively. He also fills the lack of defensive bigman for the celtics since he can play both forward positions

Why are you talking about a guy who was in his prime 10 years ago? It's not the same game today. Peja wouldn't be a SF in today's NBA.


Ya Peja is a stretch 4 in todays game. Ryan Anderson is the closest thing we have to Peja and Anderson plays the 4.

Peja was on another level compared to Ryno, at least early Peja, Anderson is like New Orleans' Stojakovic


Peja was a sick player who's game was very underrated in some aspects for people focused on his elite shooting.

Peja had an MVP level season in 04'

He isnt the 2nd best european player of all time, but his peak or his best season is better than anybody but Dirk at NBA level.
