I'd rather see Outlaw or Diogu @ backup 4 than Frye, and it pains me to say it. Channing is probably the most "Portland" guy on the team. Too bad he is a 6'11" dude who is incapable of doing anything other than jacking up 20 footers. I like the aggressive play from Ike.
Updated after the Celtics game... Frye, in 357 minutes: Free throws attempted: 21 Offensive rebounds: 23 Blocks: 6 Ike, in 57 minutes: Free throws attempted: 18 Offensive rebounds: 10 Blocks: 2 Ed O.
ike was a nice pickup in the bayless deal imo, we should be playing him a lil more, especially if frye is done. post # 1000
For their careers, Shavlik Randolph is better at 2 out of those 3 things, and a better passer, better defender, etc. I'm just saying... BNM
Ike did what we're looking for last night. He had a big hustle play for an offensive board, he banged down low, he got to the FT line, and he even hit a 15-footer. We don't need our backup PF to play 15-20 mins a game, but what Ike provided in his short stint was a positive. I'd like to see him continue to get the mins with LMA taking a breather.
You know if we mixed the two of them, we would have a pretty good power forward. Plus, the name mixed of Fry and Ike could be Fryke (pronounced Freeky) which would be ultimately, cool!
