Wilcox or Robert Swift 

Post#1 » by rak1974 » Sat Jul 11, 2009 4:42 pm

haven't seen a whole lot of Swift..... is he a good back up center or is he best as a third guy on the bench? and also which one of these guys, if any, would you all want to see back on your team?

Yeah... I think all of our current options fit better with this team. WIlcox has a place in the NBA, as of now, I think it is basically being the first big off of the bench that runs its offense on inside scoring. Basically, this would create less of a drop-off from whoever the team's primary back-to-the-basket player is to the bench. He's good when you toss the ball to him down there... just kind of average at everything else.

Swift has a couple of average abilities that may keep him as a 3rd string big for a few more years, but not really anything that will cement his place in the league long-term.

swift is done, he was never that great and now he can barely move.

wilcox could contribute in the right situation. the knicks were the perfect team for him, a team that doesn't value defense very much. on most teams he's no more than a 15 mpg player imo.

Wilcox wasn't that bad, he just never lived up to the potential. He is a solid backup PF and doen't make too many mistakes. Wilcox by a mile

Swift is injured way to much. Not worth a roster spot.

You got to take wilcox. But he has little desire to be better then he is.
