How can someone's ceiling be at the floor? He averaged 4, 3, and shot 50% in 10.0 mpg this year. Thats already a better year then any of Hoffa's 3.

And he did play 35 minutes yesterday and grabbed 22 rebounds.

Even Earl Boykins can grab 22 rebounds against the soft front line of Brezec and Bargnani

Oliver Miller.

Oh wait, sorry, wrong skin colour.

My 2 year old niece's doll house has a higher ceiling than Aaron Gray.

He'll be flipping burgers at Rally's within 3 years.

Brian Cardinal.

If anyone compares him to Brad Miller, their status as an NBA fan should be revoked. This guy is a 'end of the bench, token white guy' scrub, if ever there was one.

Beat me to it again. Nice touch around the rim, good head for the game, works well with others, likes to foul people, slower than frozen maple syrup on the CTA Blue Line, sweats Crisco.

is it me or does every white player get compared to another white player?

I mean Aaron Gray a Brad Miller lite? I thought Gray was a good rebounder and had a nice touch around the basket (maybe im wrong), Millers strengths are passing and shooting and hes also a good rebounder, but its not a strength. Other than the color of there skin and the fact that they are both 6"11-7" I dont see how they compare. Same with the Ostertag comparisons, Ostertag was a good defensive player and a below average offensive player who got most of his points off of put back, Gray isnt the defender Tag was and Gray also has a post game that can actually be used, Ostertag didnt.

Im not going to compare Gray to anyone because he has only seen very little time in his one season in the NBA but his strength is his big body on the block being able to post people up with the second being rebounding (not as much a strength as it is his huge body) and if he lost the weight that alot of you are asking him to do his two strengths wouldnt be strengths.

I compared them, but largely on the basis of Miller's early career; while with Charlotte, Miller was known for grabbing offensive rebounds, deft passing for a big man, and generating a good portion of his offense from the foul line. It wasn't until a couple years later (when he landed in Indiana, really) that the current incarnation developed.
