i guess he a hard fouling big man

[Passive Sloth]

I am on board. We really do need a big man. Smills, you have been beating this drum for awhile and you have been completely right. I can't wait for the season to start!

[darkadun]

Never liked the guy, but we do have a need there.

Ideally, it'd be nice if Petrie could trade Noci/KT for a solid big man. We don't need anyone spectacular, but someone to come in, grab some boards and play solid defense.

meh...he's a big body to put in the paint. Getting him, if we ultimately do go that way, won't excite me much...but I also wouldn't object.

[Smills91]

It's not Jake Voskhul, it's the fact that the front office is considering adding another legit 7 footer who plays the 5 that excites me. We NEED a back-up Center. If one of Hawes or Thompson goes down, we're screwed.

Honestly, any NBA capable 7-foot body at this point is good!

[mitchweber]

Yeah, I hope this happens. Having this size could be very helpful for us.

[KF10]

I think this move would be ok. Nothing to great nor horrible I suppose. We just need size up front period.

[King Baller]

How well does Jake defend the Odens, Nenes and Bynums?

The Kings need the best defensive Big they can get their mitts on!

I heart 7 foot goons.

STEVEN HUNTER!!! GOOD DEFENSIVE 7-FOOTER.. WHY DIDNT THEY GO FOR HIM????

[OGSactownballer]

Somethings not right with Hunter the last couple of years. He can barely sniff PT on even so-so teams.

A) Being athletic doesn't make you good defensively. It gives you a high ceiling defensively. Hunter isn't a guy that has ever looked like he would reach his ceiling.

B) IIRC, he got a serious injury last year.
