Re: The Stromile game-play Watch...

I wouldn't call him passionless. I think he is an interesting player, and I watch him pretty closely.

IMO, Stro's strengths:
* Contests shots -- we didn't have anyone doing that at power forward last season
* Plays with energy
* Uses his athleticism to improbably pull down some tough offensive rebounds
* Jumper isn't as bad as I thought it was
* Sometimes provides much-needed aggressiveness on offense
* Still has potential

Weaknesses:
* Inconsistent
* Very poor grasp of the game
* Poor man defender
* Terrible passer, and he never looks for Yao -- not even when he has the ball at the top of the key and Yao has planted himself under the basket with his defender stuck behind him
* Very ordinary rebounder overall
* Has no post game
* Can block shots, but falls for too many pump fakes
* Foul prone
