Do you think he is a PF or C? I am not sure still. Still don't know why Orlando left him unprotected.

I think he's a center personally. He's definitely tough enough to play center, and I don't think he has the speed or athleticism to play power forward. From what I recall, he had a difficult time even dunking the ball despite being about 7 feet tall.

Hmm... good question. I would say in most cases and matchups he would be a C. I think he is quick enough to handle most all centers even though he doesn't jump very well.
And these days since most teams do some form of zoning anyway, he could probably get away with playing PF many times but probably wouldn't be able to guard many of the quicker PFs.

I don't know, either, why Orlando let him go instead of Andrew DeClercq. It would've made much more sense.
Letting Zaur go will be something Orlando will regret, I think for a long time.

That
and letting Varejao go was a huge mistake. Varejao is going to surprise a lot people this year. He is probably one of the most exciting rookies to come along in a while and should be defensive nightmare for opposing teams.

I know it's still early on in the preseason, but guess who's leading the league in rebounding as of right now? None other than Drew Gooden.

I think letting Gooden go was a good idea, but they should have kept Zaza and Varejao, because Howard is eventually going to be a Center, not a PF.
Gooden, I think needed a change of scenery, but I am still astounded to how they just gave away the other two, with no rhyme or reason. Both are going to be servicable big people, in this league.

Good post. I completely agree. I fully expect Gooden to have a great year in Cleveland and everyone will say what a dumb trade it was for Orlando, but if Battie stays healthy I think it'll turn out to be a good trade. Drew needs a change of scenery, like you said. I also would've liked to have held onto Varejao and Zaza.

Somewhat OT, but Varejao got 16 and 12 in just 22 minutes for the Cavs tonight  . Imagine, we could conceivably have Varejao and Zaza instead of Bradley and Kasun  .

Just to cheer people up, Howard has looked far better than Okafor. Apparently. I wouldn't know.   |

At least one former Magic player isn't making us look stupid. Thank God we let go of Britton Johnsen...
