Later was a high school all american and played in the mcdonalds all american game (with Ron Artest). Floyd said he wouldnt draft Fizer. Which is exactly what he did. Fizer played for Floyd at Iowa State. Floyd had Brand at PF and wanted Fizer to play SF for the bulls. Fizer is a physical beast and too big to play SF. He is capable and has scored 30 plus points in an nba game. Will score in the post. get to the basket. will draw fouls. nose for the ball. rebounds well. was a candidate for 6th man of the year. despite limited time and sometimes playing out of position. He just needs to be healthy and get extended minutes at the four spot.

Somewhat true...
I had a chance to watch him for 3+ years
Upsides
Post scoring
Back to basket game
Can score the ball
Huge body
Downsides
Black hole on offense - cannot pass out of post
Lacks consistant defensive intensity
POOR REBOUNDER for size
Very little lift... tends to have his shot blocked on regular basis
Slow footspeed, but makes effort to get upcourt
The reason why Floyd tried to make him a 3 was because he does not bring what most starting 4's bring nightly, he simply plays smaller than his size. He is a tweener, does not play big enough to play extended minutes down low, and too slow to guard the more explosive guys. There are reasons why nobody has given him a shot, he's a known commodity, with a history of injury.
camby out for tha season
