The only people who he will really have to fight hard for minutes against is Jamison and Wood. He'll likely be our first big off the bench. Up until we signed Oberto we were desperately thin in the frontcourt, I don't think we'll start unloading bigs now that we've fixed that.

Not to mention he's on an incredible bargain contract.

Not to mention with all his "potential" I'd hate to trade him to a division rival just in case a light ever went off in his dense head and he actually started seriously tapping into it.

If Blatche plays well he should be the 20 to 25 minute range. I think he is number 2 at the PF position and number 3 at C. I think Oberto is basically taking Opech's garbage minutes. Hopefully Jamison's minutes will be reduced a little, so McGee and Blatche can get some PT.

Blatche is the real deal. He finally added bigman strength last season and we saw it against yao. I have no worries at all about Blatche. Blatche is one of the EG greatest accomplishments. Blatche just work on quick elevation. I think his game will be completely after that. Bangin' to create separation and then release. i think he will have an excellent banging partner with Oberto. I think its bad if he is bangin' physically with Haywood in practice has haywood is more of teacher that prefer dishing out punishment to opponents instead of his own team. The constant Haywood is an emotional player and some of the bad blood between him and Etan and Kwame probably had alot to do with their extreme physicality competition in practice (even though none of them were great offensive post players so you can imagine the battles). I think Oberto banging constantly with Tim Duncan for the last few years is great banger partner for our young bigs. Oberto's experience going against the greatest banging powerforward ever has to help blatche and mcgee. Haywood doesn't have that on his resume but he doesn't need it since his defensive awareness as center is elite.

He's the NBA's equivalent to hip-hop's Blu, just not as good. No e, according to NBA.com's Summer League rosters. Umm, yeah.
