I know all that about him.I've heard about him for years.I'm not saying he won't be good,but I am saying that i'm not gonna get my hopes up or expect anything out of him.So like I said I'll wait till I see him,none of u have seen him play in the NBA yet so don't get your hopes.Like already labeling him as a starter is dumb and saying he's already better than some other guy that's proven himself over here already.mrhonline wrote:yeah......that's the FIRST time we heard that about a euro big before.I'll wait till I see it.
David Andersen is WIDELY considered the most skilled big man in Europe, and has proven that two years in a row. He will be no less than a solid role player in the NBA, which is exactly what a less talented player like Jorge Garbajosa was before his injury.

Last I heard on Cenk was that the team that had his rights loaned him to a lesser Turkish team (lower division) and he still didn't get consistent minutes. I'm thinking Cenk has already peaked and it wasn't high enough to get a cup of coffee in the NBA.

Andersen or Kwame helps this team out
But if Woody stays, neither will get much time. Woody has a way of showing inconsistent ways to use the talent on this team.
I just don't see Kwame coming here and starting each game on the bench. He has started everywhere he has played and he won't be easy to get or convince to come off the bench. If you don't do that, are you going with a frontline of Kwame/Horford/Smoove. I would prefer Smoove at the 3, but it won't happen.
Andersen is an unknown until he comes over and shows he can play here. He is a risk that probably affects our cap number significantly should Speedy not just retire and take a lump sum.
Right now, this team's future is all about Woody. We have to get this resolved before we don't have any options to select from.
