He was pretty good for us in first two seasons (good pick in expansion draft), then he was overtired (an ilness? , some kind of syndrom?) - triggerd by the lack of rest in the offseason (he did play for Slovenian national team). He missed early months of the season and had problems to find his game, injured in one match, lately he had some flashes of his former play. This season he was delayed because of some unspecified family reasons - that's why Vincent tried Hollins at C (he thought Okafor is better for the team at PF) - and Brezec never caught up with Vincent's system (if he has any). It may not be his fault, Vincent spoiled some players for us nto using them in proper way (Herrmann,...)
The other thing which didn't work for his favor was that because of a sudden lack of big men Emeka started at C and (there is a kind of consensus on our board) he fits at 5 better than 4 (he often wasn't quick enough to guard opposite pf effectively - he's better as defensive anchor at c under the basket ). Combined with small ball we often played he was losing a spot in our long term plans. When he was coming back they didn't fit in with Emeka well, they were tending to find the same spot under the basket.
Resume:
He gets confidence from being starter (we start him because of it and let him play small amount of minutes).
He is considered to be soft, other on this borad could tell better why.
For his height he is not good rebounder.
When he actually rebounds, good portion of his rebounds are offensive rebs.
Has a nice mid shot and is often on from this spot.
When he is not, it's usually no bog deal, he doesn't shoot much. Had a good shot selection.
Because of this shot, he could lure opposite center from under the basket area.
He is not good defender - his fouls tends to be unsufficent (and one calls).
Could have stamina problems.
His current hustle play can be caused by contract year.
He was 5-5 against Knicks in limited minutes - maybe he will shoot more to get soma attention and contract. He din't shoot many more shots in almost starter minutes for us. But usually with above .500 FG combined with some like 0-4 FG games.
After all, he was one of the our last original player (other are Gerlad Wallace and Emeka Okafor) and helps us in early season, we wwish him do well. I'm looking forward what he will do in Toronto - I never realized he could have such a gangsta image
