Wow, another Center gets overpaid, his numbers weren't even that good during his 07/08 half year with Dallas. Full MLE? :lol:

I don't think the full MLE is overpaying for a young 7 footer that plays good defense. He's pretty similar to Perk and he's still improving.

He stopped improving awhile ago. This is another player where just because he came out of high school, there is the idea that there is still untapped potential. He has been in the league for SEVEN years. What you see is what you get at this point. And it certainly is not worth the full MLE. That said, he is a nice defensive backup and he would have been nice to backup perk if the price was right.

eh, defensive minded 7fter?

Worth the MLE. I had him for a fantasy team and so became reasonably obsessed and his production is not measured in stats (which sucks when you hve him for a fantasy team).

he is a real bonus in the paint.

WTF is that about? Bogut getting 72 mil? Why, what does he do that 50% of all centers inthe league can't do. I think this is an organization not willing to show they made a mistake picking him #1 over all. It just doesn't make sense.
