Fresno King
Starter
This would be a very small piece of the puzzle, but Noel Felix (Fresno State) is what Musselman is looking for: a defensive-oriented frontcourt player. And, he's worked his way up to the NBA just like E-Muss. A 6-9 power forward that blocked Yao Ming's shot point blank. And, of course, he's a Fresno guy, so I automatically like him.
Seattle has a lot of frontcourt players, so maybe this is doable for the Kings. He'd be a lot better and cheaper than Songaila! Perhaps Felix for a future second round pick and/or cash.BIO:
Something of a late bloomer, Felix has been able to translate his athleticism to the pro game following his college career at Fresno State that left him undrafted in 2003. After splitting 2003-04 between China and the CBA, Felix spent time with three teams in 2004-05, playing in Italy, the Philippines and the CBA. He was named to the CBA All-Defensive Team after averaging 15.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks for the Yakima Sun Kings. Felix played for the Sonics summer-league squad in the Rocky Mountain Revue in July 2005, averaging 8.2 points and 4.0 rebounds. Afterwards, he played for the USA Basketball World Championships qualifying team. He's a good athlete who has consistently excelled at the defensive end of the court.
