| The only reason the media ran with something so trivial is because the Lakera signed him and they wanted negative energy thrown at it because it gets hits. |

I thought groin injuries can become serious.
And the fact that he was scheduled for an MRI shows potential of something being bad. But I agree, anything Lakers will generate hits. |

| I'm glad the injury is minor, I wanna see how he does in training camp, could really help the negativity lower a little bit if he contributes. |

Skill wise, go watch some highlights. The guy does the following well....
- Size, legit 7'1" with a 7'6" wingspan
- Mobile, runs the floor well for his size (270 lbs+)
- Blocks, he may not average more than 1.5 per but he will challenge a lot of them
- Rebounding, great at taking up space below ... Randle and Nance will love him.
- Offense, as others mentioned great off the screen and roll. He'll dunk it well. He's got a good touch from 15-18 ft out.
- Hands, I'm not sure where hands of stones come from but the videos I've seen he does a great job catching passes in transition.
- Great FG% and not a FT% liability
Overall .... B- (I think we overpaid by $10M+)
What to expect ...
28 mpg
12 ppg
8 reb
1.5 blks |
Mozgov first game 12/8 but in only 22 min
Liking his addition and the way the team plays

Adding Mozzy was a smart move.

He really is sort of like a spryer Bogut minus the passing ability. I like the addition quite a bit as well. I just love how he can catch and finish. Hopefully he maintains this performance.

| We only paid 64m for Moz? What the heck took us so long. The way he balled tonight we should have signed him way before 12:01! |

| solid mosy like game. nothing out of the ordinary. This is to be expected. Now I must warn you guys. Houston does not have a real center. So we'll see what he does when we play a few teams with actual center's. But i will still take it as someone said above. |

Props to you Omar, you tried to convince people that Moz signing made sense cause of his modern NBA style. |

And I think there's a sneaky passer in Moz waiting to break out. This is the first time he's being asked to create, and even though he'll never be Bogut, he's flashed a bit over the past 8 games enough to make me think he can be a plus creator once everyone gets on the same page. That feed to JR off the DLo PnR was schweet. |

His first game in the preseason, he had some real nice passes. And yeah that pass to Randle was very nice.
Maybe he'll grow into the role, but I feel comfortable saying he's very far away from Bogut in terms of passing ability. |

Was hoping he would play more than the only 22 minutes but I guess that kind of was the expected range.

Rockets didn't play real big too many minutes. His minutes will vary according to lineup needs.

I remember during the preseason when Houston played the China team and the Rocket announcers were whining about NeNe being better despite the cheap contract.. Well..
Moz: 12/8/2
NeNe: 7/3/3 |
