it was nice to see our two young big men play very well. Hopefully continued work on their bodies and games and we can have two solid backups at the 5's for a long period of time.
didn't watch the whole game but the youngin was doing a damn fine Tyson Chandler impression out there.
I noticed Douglas didnt play... in a game for the bench. He must really be in the doughouse. And across two coaches. What happened to this guy?

We can only hope that he is not yet fully recovered from his surgery. His shot is poor and he doesn't go to the hole. He also has a penchant for trying to swipe the ball after he let's his man go by. A totally different player than when he first hit the league.

He just plain stinks at hoops. Yes, he has athletic skills. But nothing in the cranium.

Totally agree. Even though they're terrible, I'm sure Charlotte played as hard as they have all season, not wanting to go down as the worst team in NBA history.

Yep, it was, and since we're going to be limited by the cap and new cba going forward, the development of our draft picks is going to be crucial going forward. TD returning to the level he was at last season would be nice too.

Id like to see Jordan put on 10 pounds of muscle and Jorts needs to work on additional quickness---but both look like cheap keepers. Remember how many spare big men the Bulls had with Jordan? Its always good to have the size especially if they can play.

Huge time- I remember when Detroit upset LA in 2004 they had tons of bigs off the bench too - (Mike Woodson assistant coach) I remember when Othella Harrington was our biggest big- I've been waiting for this- Excellent late picks by Donnie
I've said this before, and I'll say it again - Jordan is a pretty gosh-darned competent offensive center. I can't really speak to his ability to play defense and stay on the floor (for all I know, he'd average a foul every 4 minutes), but I think he's more offensively skilled than Chandler.
On the right team, he could do more. Not saying he could put up numbers on a winning team, but he's got some skills.

I have trouble believing Gadzuric is better than Jordan right now.

There no question about it. You just won't see any jerome in the playoffs. Gadz might make an appearance just to waste fouls and slap the heat around

I agree. I also thought it was great that the organization utilized the d-l to develop JOrdan this year. I don't believe they have ever utilized the d-league to develop guys.
