According to this link, the Grizzlies are going after Nazr Mohamoud, Eric Dampier, and Adonal Foyle. Who rather start, one of those three or Lorenzen Wright? I would start them in this order - Dampier/Wright/Mohamoud/James/Foyle
I am looking at Foyle's stats and I don't get what you guys see in him. Someone please fill me in. Did Dampier not start over him?
Foyle is a great shot blocker for the minutes he plays..can board and is a strong player inside...He would be the best choice
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting JWillTheFreak:</div><div class="quote_post">what about SWIFT ?????????????</div>Swift would be moved to Power Forward where he would backup Pau Gasol if we got one of those three players.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting allnet:</div><div class="quote_post">Foyle is a great shot blocker for the minutes he plays..can board and is a strong player inside...He would be the best choice</div>He is a great shot blocker, but he only averages five points. Dampier gets more points and rebounds in only a few more minutes.
Well he only plays 21MPG....Foyle just seems like a better center..maybe not player..but a better center....Blocking shots is key to be a good center....He gets 6 rebounds a game which isn't bad for the time he gets...
James - 5.4 PPG, 2 RPG Wright - 11.5 PPG, 7.5 RPG Foyle - 6 PPG, 6 RPG Dampier - 8 PPG, 6 RPG Mohamoud - 4.6 PPG, 5 RPG

I don't see how he is better than Wright. Besides, we already have a backup who blocks shots in Stromile Swift.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting JWillTheFreak:</div><div class="quote_post">what about muhammad. Wright only get .77 blocks a game</div>I updated it to show Mohamoud. And while Wright only gets .77 blocks per game, he has Stromile backing him up who gets around 1.5 blocks per game.
If you give Foyle..28-30 minutes a game..He could well average 12 and 9..with 3 blocks a game..All depends how teams use him
