He will always be a threat because as long as he rolls to the basket with those long arms, there is a target above everybody else. And we have never really had a vertical spacer. He will keep the court really spaced out just from being that threat up there.''
there we go. Vertical Spacing concept that Weltman talked about.
I really hope Bebe will pan out. And by that I mean I hope he doesn't end up in Europe or China.
He definitely has the tools to remain in the league, his P&R game has impressed me, same for his finishing ability and his playmaking. All depends on his health.
The only thing holding Bebe back from being a top back up big or an occasional starter is his health.
"My biggest concern as a coach is to not confuse winning with progress." - Steve Kerr
"If it's unacceptable in defeat, it's unacceptable in victory." - Jeff Van Gundy
I think Bebe potential is more than just a career back up.
Okay so the question is, if we were put in a position to trade one of bismack or bebe .... Which one would you keep, and which one would fetch the better return on a package with say 2pat and a scrub or pick.
weltman is also the guy who said the iso-ball BS would work in the playoffs.
He didn't say it would work, more like it could work. There were a myriad of reasons why the team got blown out, and that was down the list IMO, well behind having probably the worst perimeter defence in the NBA by the time the playoffs rolled around.
In a similar vein, don't know who else read Zach Lowe's take on the Bulls the other day, but here's a bit I found interesting, because it made me think of our team
At the start of the season, Hoiberg introduced chunks of a fast-paced, pass-happy motion offense. Several key players found the fit awkward and asked Hoiberg, who maintains an open-door policy, to put some Thibodeau-era sets back in, according to team sources. Opposing scouts have also noticed this.
"Fred put in a lot of ball movement, but we have a lot of guys who hold the ball a lot," Noah said.
If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

Neither, you wont get anything that moves the needle for the raps trading those two.
Human nature at its finest. When somebody who knows a lot more about shit than we do says something we vehemently disagree with, we don't think " what am I missing?', we simply say "the guys an idiot".
If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.
