He would fit pretty well into what the Nets are doing offensively, but if I were the Nets, I would be looking for a rim protecting center, someone who could at least put up a modicum of resistance in the playoffs. They are already scoring a billion points/game and that's true even if one of their stars isn't playing. Someone like say, Jarrett Allen? Oh... right.

BTW, just about to finish Shea Serrano’s book. The illustrations are top notch. I enjoy the writing, but didn’t he just rip off Bill Simmons? Who himself ripped off David Foster Wallace?
