International Big Men in Draft 

Post#1 » by Reckless » Mon Jun 2, 2008 8:25 am

there is no guarantee Hibbert or Lopez will be there at 23

in that case that jazz might wanna look at a couple international big men

Nathan Jawai, 6 ft 10, 275
This guy is a big dude that likes to bang inside and do the dirty work
he's got a pretty nice soft touch on his jumpshot and is a pretty good passer
this guy has got a lot of skill that you gotta like about him
he looks like a steal for whoever gets him

Alexis Ajinca, 7ft 1, 225
Physically, his body carries more bulk than last season, but he must put on another 15 pounds at least before he

Hasn't Asik been in the draft and then pulled out before? I thought I remember hearing his name prior to this season.

I agree, because I am going to learn Turkish, and maybe I can say a few words and he will be my friend. Then he can introduce me to the Turkish girls. I hear they like the Americans!

Asik would be a perfect fit and chances are he ll be available in second round. if we can use first for chalmers and move up in the second and take asik, i ll be a happy panda.
