Position: PF/C
Hgt: 7'0"
Wgt: 225
Age: 33
Number: 33
Nickname: N/A
College: Nebraska
Yrs with Team: 1
Yrs in League: 10
Previous Teams: Detroit ('98-'02); Boston ('02-'03); Atlanta ('02-'03); New Jersey ('03-'04); Utah ('03-'04); Clippers ('04-'05); Seattle ('05-'06); New Jersey ('06-'07)
How Acquired: Free Agent '07
Contract: 2008-09: $5.8mil; 2009-10: $6.2mil* (*Waiver Clause -- if waived $3.1mil)
Strengths: activity, off the ball movement, efficiency
Weaknesses: lacks strength, little post game, foul prone, bad hands
Offense (Scoring & Passing)
Strictly a role player. Master of off the ball movement. Little one on one ability, extremely dependent on others to set him up and hit him on cuts, but finishes at a high percentage when they do. Will punish lazy or inattentive defenders by slicing to the hoop looking to take the pass. Dunks easily, and prefers to finish this way inside. Has a very limited post game, mostly consisting of a right handed jump hook. Lacks strength and ability to hold his position to get it off though. Experiments at the beginning of last season to use him as a primary post weapon were disastrous. Has a midrange jumper that was less reliable last year than previously. Very athletic and runs the floor easily. Suffers from hands of stone, and prone to fumble any pass that does not hit him mid body. That improved somewhat as the season went along last year, but it may just have been teammates realizing how careful they had to be with the pass. Willing role player and screen setter, and rolls well to the hoop. Not a factor as a passer, and rarely has the ball in his hands.
Defense & Rebounding
Has the length and athleticism to be a shot blocker, but has not been since early in his career. Lacks timing and awareness. Prefers to run under people and try to draw charges now, and can be disruptive with this tactic. Has quickness to guard the perimeter, and saved several tight games last season by closing out on opposing guards trying to get off last second shots. Lacks strength inside, and can be easily overpowered in the post. Extremely foul prone -- in fact led the entire NBA in fouls last season (the constant attempts to draw charges do not help). On the boards, activity and athleticism offset by lack of strength and bad hands. Active around the offensive glass in particular, but fumbles numerous rebounding opportunities. On defense can be pushed under the hoop, and is frequently invisible as a rebounder.
Intangibles
One of the true journeymen of the NBA. Never good enough to stick, but makes himself valuable as a roleplayer and so keeps on finding a new team. Extremely enthusiastic on the court, clapping, yelling encouragement to teammates, and prone to letting out big yells when dunking. Sometimes enthusiasm crosses the line into the absurd with him making much more noise with his mouth than his game. Known as a good teammate and lockerroom guy, but had some uncharacteristic spats last season with the coaching staff.
