nba needs to expand and make another candian team, peurto rican team and mexican team...all these super duper teams is ridiculous

There's a possibility one day the NBA can expand to Montreal. I doubt they'll expand to Mexico or Puerto Rico.

He was great in the post. His problem is now defense. He has no lateral movement speed. He can take a charge if he gets lucky but that's about it.

he's not quick but he's a good help defender who can challenge shots. probably still better in that regard than patrick patterson so there's your defensive upgrade

Personally, I think Pat will start. Younger player and he's improved every year. He and JV have to step it up defensively.

Also, I think Masai might make another signing. Probably another PF or wing defender ?

Can any Pacers fan (or anyone who watched him) chime in on how he looked last season.

I don't care about the boxscore numbers, can he still play effectively in the post?

He can still post, but he mainly shoots mid-range jumpers. But he's still pretty money from that range...His bad defense is overstated. He's an average defender. He knows where he's supposed to be, he's a smart player.

The only thing about last season is that when his jumper wasn't on, he was a bit of a liability. Good rebounder, averaging 7 rpg in 20 minutes. He does a lot of things that just don't stand out. But he communicates, he's a good teammate, doesn't commit stupid fouls. He's a good free throw shooter. He knows how to play. He's a good pickup. He can still run the floor despite his age. He runs the court very hard every play.
