Honestly, I think Luke has a few post moves up his sleeve, and that's a few more than Chandler has to offer.sloth said:Yeah, me and my dad were talking about this earlier. They have the same offensive ability, and Luke just gives more effort on the court, and just wants it more than Chandler. We should have let Chandler walk and kept Mr. Curry, because Chandler, although he is putting up his stats now, is still awful.
Indeed, give him something like a garaunteed 2 year contract (2nd year team option) for around the $1M mark / year.As for athleticism, there's no comparison. I think we should hold on to Luke for the rest of the season and consider him for the team next year (to fill out our roster).
Would give Showtyme rep if I could. I like Schenscher, but the idea that he's as good as Chandler is just crazy. Chandler is a good man defender, a great help defender, and one of the best rebounders in the NBA. Luke is a decently skilled big man, but the idea that he can impact games as much as Tyson is just nuts.Showtyme said:I haven't watched many Bulls games this season, as I haven't had time to download them and there haven't been all that many on national TV (more than usual, though, which has been nice). From what I've watched and read, in my memory, I can't think of many other times when one of our guys came up BIG in the clutch. Tyson Chandler had TWO game-winning blocks on national TV, which is unreal.
This is something that Luke Schenscher cannot bring.
Tyson Chandler has all the energy and freakish activeness on the floor as a Malik Rose, except in a 7-foot-1 long-armed (but small-handed) body. If you reduce them to their skills, I'm sure Schenscher is a quality big and maybe even a starter in this big-man deprived league. But when it comes to defensive fire, Schenscher (from what I remember of watching Tech, anyway) is NOT that guy.
And while I'm actually a big Schenscher fan (I had him on my list of NBDL callups way before he got here), I actually can't believe that this is what we're talking about. It's sort of amazing. Could Luke Schenscher actually make signing a guy like Nazr Mohammed or Melvin Ely obsolete?
Size is a premium, and we were willing to settle for Nazr or Melvin, which in my opinion, is about as good as a Todd MacCulloch. Have we found our own MacCulloch in the rough? Do you think he'll earn a Duhon-like contract this offseason?
Because that's just one less issue to address in the offseason, then. Two 7-footers that play hard and reobund well is good enough for the center position to me. Get us that power forward that can bring post play and is generally just good, and we'll see what happens.
Please keep that book away from Bulls brass. My god. Really? You really think that? Who that you named is even AS good as Donyell Marshall was here?JPTurbo said:It's interesting, if we had Schensher the whole season he most likely would not have made a HUGE difference. But, he is a big effort guy and maybe when Tyson was dogging it we could made something with Luke.
I like the idea of bringing him back for another year or two and then getting a good power forward. Tyson, Luke, PF?, and Allen would be a nice big man rotation in my book.
Yes, with the idea that I said a GOOD power forward. Someone that could start alongside Tyson and then bring Allen and Schensher off the bench. If we had that we would be just fine.Pippenatorade said:Please keep that book away from Bulls brass. My god. Really? You really think that?
