Yeah athletically dude is a borderline freak...you let him get a step or two toward the rim unrestricted somebody going on a poster...

He just...uh...can't do much else :russ:

I was hoping to draft a guy like Dedmon...would rather have a 21 year old like him than a 26 year old like him...

Strangely enough the Spurs have been coveting dude for awhile though...

John Wall must be salty af rn.
Not only did that rookie extension come at the worst possible time, but then they done gave Bradley Beal the max :shaq2:
I'm not a Wizards fan, (just a huge fan of Wall), and if him and PG 13 who willl both be UFAs in the summer of 2019 choose the right destination (not Washington or Indiana, because I don't trust either franchise to build a solid championship team, even if you gave them prime MJ) there'll be tears in my eyes :blessed:

Noah has been a shell of his former self over the last two seasons by being a liability on the offensive side of the floor, plus his defense has taken a significant hit due to his inability to stay healthy with his body breaking down. Both players function and exist on offense because of their abilities to crash the glass, pass the ball and set screens (impact similar in these areas, and this is with Noah getting more touches on offense), as they're limited in what they can do elsewhere.

Noah last season - 29 games played - 4.3 ppg on 38%, 8.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.0 blocks, 0.6 steals in 22 minutes - opponents shot 52% at the rim against him

Zaza last season - 76 games played - 8.6 ppg on 46%, 9.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 blocks, 0.8 steals in 26 minutes - opponents shot 52% at the rim against him

You could make a case that Zaza is better than Noah at this point of their respective careers, due to his ability to stay on the court as well as being more productive - that might change however if Noah can rekindle his game and stay healthy in NY.

On Dedmon v Biyombo -


Biyombo is the better defender, but he was also aided (cue his team DRTG and DRPM) by the fact he played in a better defensive scheme with better defensive pieces (Lowry, Patterson, Joseph and DeMarre) in the bulk of the lineups he was in.

While he doesn't provide the same degree of impact as Biyombo - he certainly isn't far off it.

Because he only plays limited minutes (12.2 minutes per game last season - how the fukk is he suppose to average more than that given his minutes?). It sounds like you're just looking at the box score rather than watching him play.

I. What does Bogut have to with my post on comparing Noah and Zaza?

II. Zaza is the better rebounder, more reliable and active offensive player (plus can hit FTs at a considerably better rate), more reliable to stay on court and remain healthy, can play down the stretch and is better at defending the PnR.

He's a lot better than Varejao, and if you had watched the Mavs last season you'd know this.

Noah is a better defender than Zaza even last year injury riddled and in limited minutes he was a better rebounder and defender than Zaza ever was stop it...
