Sacramento cut this kid after the Bibby trade. He's 23 years old, showed some signs last season in limited time, but fell out of favor this season. Pretty good rebounder off the bench. From Theo's alma mater.
Did anyone see enough of him to tell if he gives you more value off the bench than Shav, LA, or HH? Worth taking a chance on him??

Shame about him. Second best shotblocker in college. Averaged a double-double. Said to be very good defensively, very long wingspan, extremely athletic, a very good rebounder, and has a great work ethic. The two knocks on him are that he's offensively raw and that he was only 215 - but everything I read said that he has the frame to fill out. I don't see why a kid like this is not on our roster. If we can afford to have Shav and Amundson wasting space, we sure as hell could afford giving this kid a chance.

Sounds like this kid is a Tyrus Thomas clone. One fan thought he had the potential equivalent to Blatche and Amir Johnson. Most Kings fans were bummed that he was waived and were hoping that he would re-sign - though that appears unlikely. I think Stefanski would be foolish not to jump at the chance to pick him up. An athletic 6'10 PF who rebounds well, blocks shots, plays very good defense, and is very young. Sounds to me like a steal.

I saw him play quite a bit while he was at Wyoming. Tremendous help defender and shot blocker. A little less effective defending someone straight up. Runs the floor well, decent rebounder. His offensive game is much like Reggie Evans with an ability to finish at the rim.
He's better than Lou Amundson who I also saw play a bit at UNLV. I have a hard time believing that someone won't pick him up.
