Only one cuestion: Training camp Two SF (or PF) Both bench Both non american born players (but came from american colleges) Both in the paper with same skills, rebound and defense orientations heart for balls One with experience but injury prone (Najera) One rookie (Linas) Who will be the suplent from K-Mart (or Melo depends the position) Najera or Linas? Awaiting for your early replys A Mexican Thanks
Najera is very underrated, is very strong, and can do alot of little things off the bench to help the formula of this team become a winning/elite team. Linas is too raw now.
Najera is a great rebounder and enforcer to have on a team, and he has added a mid-rang shot to his game as well. I think Kleiza will be a good player but right now Najera would be ahead of Kleiza in the rotation. Najera knows Karl's system and he is much more proven.
I think that Najera will get the nod for 2nd option. Being from Missouri I followed Mizzou with a little interest. I was always impressed with Linas. The only thing more remarkable than his toughness, desire and ability was the coach and players not making sure the ball got to him, it was maddening. It's no wonder he opted for the draft.
Najera. He'd be the safe pick considering he's an NBA veteran and it'd be much smarter to take a chance with him than with a rookie. And Najera is underrated very underrated lik someone said.
even though he's 6'8" Najera is a beast !! Mos Def he's gonna be one of the first bigs off the bench. However, i can't see him playing much small forward with Carmelo around .....
Najera's been around, tough-nosed player, provides great energy. Aren't they sending Linas to like the NBDL or something?
