Hall of Famer
These are the qualities I want from my shotblocker:
- Athletic enough to guard quicker big men
- At least 6'9" (no more small ball)
- Solid rebounder
- Good mid-range jumper
- Youth is still on his side
- Role player mentality
- Is on a cheap deal or will come cheap (6 mil per year max)
Now as you can probably tell, there aren't many players that fulfill all of those requirements, but this is my shortlist on who would be the best candidates that are realistic options for us:
- Ekpe Udoh
- Ed Davis
- Jordan Hill
- Samuel Dalembert
They say you can never go back, and so for that reason, I don't want Dalembert. Hill, while a nice player with maybe some upside left, isn't much of a shotblocker, but he can do a little bit of defense and offense. The two that I would be interested in are Udoh and Davis. Davis probably has the most upside, but is probably a tougher get. Udoh should be a player that we could get for the right price. Don't know what that price is, but I don't imagine it would be that high.
