SIGN HIM ASAP!

"The Dallas Mavericks announced today that they have waived forward Nick Fazekas.

Fazekas (6-11, 235) was selected by Dallas with the 34th overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft. He saw action in four games with the Mavericks this season averaging 1.0 point in 2.3 minutes. He spent 28 games (24 starts) with the Tulsa 66ers of the NBA D-League and averaged 19.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 30.5 minutes per game. He was selected as a D-League All-Star but did not play in the game. [READ]"

Forgive me if I don't get excited about Fazekas. Lou Amundson also put up big numbers in the D-League and we see how that has carried over.

Fazekas is a name and nothing more.

Well, Fazekas did also average 20/10 in college 2 straight years, which I don't recall amundson doing.

I don't think Fazekas is anything to get overly excited about. His lack of strength and athleticism really limit him. I wouldn't be opposed to adding him in place of Amundson, but I wouldn't exactly demand he be signed, either

I agree that all D-League play needs to be viewed with a "grain of salt", but Fazekas' ability to shoot well (especially beyond the arc) and score could be useful for this team.

Sign him up.

Almundson and Randolph are both better and we already have them on our roster...

is that even how you spell his name?

CinciSixersFan · Post #8 » by **CinciSixersFan** » Tue Feb 19, 2008 6:49 pm

Fazekas is a much different player than Amundsen and Randolph. He is probably a cross between one of those guys and Smith since he can shoot.

exactly

I "nothing" Fazekas. I'm not against signing him and releasing Shav or Amundson and I don't think we have to "sign him up ASAP".

If we signed him, I think we'd only see him in a suit standing outside of the players' huddle during a timeout.

For some reason this guy's name sounds like Fezek from Princess Bride...

ASAP, huh? So this is the next scrub that we should sign and he'll become our next superstar?

Nick Fazekas is a softer version of Jason Smith. Nuff said

He's a big man who can shoot from anywhere...better value than LA or Shav or anyone else sitting on the bench. Definitely worth the risk (of which there is none).

He is nothing like Smith. Fazekas is a non-athletic big who can shoot from the perimeter and score junk around the rim. He can't guard his own shadow, can't beat anyone off the bounce, nor can he get up and down the floor effectively in a game played with a 24-second clock.

I'd rather see the Sixers pick up Justin Williams, a guy who plays and runs a lot like Theo Ratliff did.

I respectfully agree with Swoll

Does anyone know how exactly the waiver-wire priority works?

More specifically, what priority do the Sixers have....?

Picking up Fazekas is a no-brainer.

6-11 with offensive skills. Cheap. No risk.

He's gonna get picked up by some team, for sure.

Nick Fazekas is the definition of the white stiff
