Carl Landry
Position: PF/SF
Hgt: 6'7"
Wgt: 248
Age: 30
Number: 24
Nickname: Mandry
College: Purdue
Yrs with Team: 1 (previous); 0 (current)
Yrs in League: 6
Previous Teams: Houston ('07-'10); Sacramento ('09-'11); New Orleans ('10-'12); Golden State ('12-'13)
How Acquired: free agent signing (July 2013)
Contract: 2013-14: $6.8mil; 2014-15: $6.8mil; 2015-16: $6.8mil; 2016-17: $6.8mil
Strengths: inside-out scoring, aggressiveness, pop off the bench
Weaknesses: undersized on defense, rebounding, passing...anything but scoring
Offense (Scoring & Passing)
Sophisticated scorer with a variety of post moves he is able to get off despite his lack of length, and range out to 18-20 feet on his jumper. Aggressive on the offensive glass and physical around the rim despite lack of size. When coming off the bench looks to attack immediately. Can play some postup SF where he overpowers opponents, as well as PF where he uses more quickness. Despite lack of height and length, able to get up and finish over the rim consistently. Excellent FT shooter for a big man. Bit of a blackhole, rarely even looking to pass.
Defense & Rebounding
Tough guy, but undersized at the PF position, and can be shot over by bigger players. Strong and stout rather than long, and not a shotblocker, nor does he have quick hands to be disruptive down low. Biggest weakness has traditionally been on the glass where he's rebounded like a tweener, not a full sized PF, but last season had his best year there since his rookie campaign.
Intangibles
Strong character guy popular amongst coaches and players. Notorious tough guy as well, willing to play through pain. Was shot in the leg in an attempted holdup several years ago, and back playing within a few weeks. Had his front teeth knocked out (left them embedded in Dirk's elbow) last year, and was back out playing the next game. Comes back now on the big career contract in a curious position, with a lot of clutter at his position and into the same frontcourt where he was beaten out for minutes three years ago. The difference this time is that Coach Malone may be relying on him as an assistant coach to help his teammates get up to speed on the defensive system Malone was running in Golden State.
