    If he can stay healthy, he should win the 6th man of the year award. No doubt. Putting up those numbers is insane.

    You should see how easily Kaman climbs trees and catches fish in his mouth. He has a lot of abilities.

    "Chris Kaman is a bear!"

    "Dude I know!"

    "No, Chris Kaman is actually a bear."

    I think health has a connection with attitude. It's hard to be motivated on a shitty team. I think that creates disinterest and failure to want to lay your body on the line for the team you play for.

    He's happy here. You can see it.

    Yeah its just not about his numbers, but how he scores. That left handed bank shot he made when he was fouled is a great example. Big men with those type of skills are rare these days. He bales out the 2nd team quite a bit. When ever they get into trouble they can pass it to him and reset. or he can create his own shot. if I was Stotts I would keep playing him the way he is with limited minutes. Keep him fresh for the playoffs. His minutes will go up then.

    When was the last time a big man won 6MOTY?

    Edit: True center... Bill Walton in 85-86, before that... Our own Cliff Robinson?

    It's kind of a crazy feeling to have a bench go to guy. Feels weird to even type it.

    If you want to know why Robinson isn't playing, it's because of Kaman. We need a stretch four to play alongside him. He is a true post player and Robinson wouldn't work well with him. Stotts won't play two post guys at the same time. He likes to have one post guy (Rolo/Kaman) and a stretch guy (Aldridge/Leonard).

    And then he got so committed to the success of the team that he stopped posting on Twitter. I can only assume that it is because there is little time for the internet between posting double doubles daily, and wrestling bucks with your bare hands.

    Odom wasn't a big man. He was a perimeter player still.

    6'10" that's pretty big. He also played some PF as well, especially in the 4th.

    Are you talking 7 footers?!

    Gonna cost CJ with Robinson and Wright to get someone of value. I like CJ, but he's going to be a career backup. He's too short to be a starting shooting guard and he's not a point guard. I would deal him to get the right pieces.
