atskooc Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 A couple days ago a news source in Iowa said he was going pro. The McD's denied it. Quote
HB Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 Well, he's coming back. A very nice gesture to dear old dad. Quote

bobcat402 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 i had a source in the training department that said he waffled fairly recently on wheter or not. apperently chicago was pretty intrested in him to fill the role Korver had left. Here's to guessing he is gonna spend a long summer in the weight room to either lose some weight and gain some agiility of gain some stregnth. Quote

Here's to guessing he is gonna spend a long summer in the weight room to either lose some weight and gain some agiility of gain some stregnth. I imagine it wasn't an easy decision on his part. And the decision he made very well might bite him in the tail. He'll be playing against better opponents this coming year...if he doesn't prove up to the task, he'll cost himself some dough.

Silverbacked1 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 Will be interesting to see how teams defend him now that some of his "help" has moved on. Do you double on him? Plus some of the teams they play will be able to play him straight up I would think. He might not play the "post" as much. Or maybe he will do what he has been doing because it seem to work better well for him. Quote

The biggest loss for them is going to be Echenique. Norm Peterson, TheGov21 and Silverbacked1 3 Quote

I agree with you on that he might have a bigger problem than he even thinks he will. Quote

hhcmatt Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 Does he work on his post play or his shooting because he's nowhere near the shooter than Korver is unless I'm missing something. Would his post play ever be good enough? Norm Peterson 1 Quote

Would his post play ever be good enough? i think shooting, unless he grows another inch to 6'9 ish but idk...Derrick Williams is already getting harped to either lose weight to be a 3 or be bigger to be a 4 Norm Peterson 1 Quote
