Except for one thing. I see his game is a duplicate of Joels, with slightly better hands. There is only so much room in the key for operation. His game has to vary some. Either he has to like attacking from another side of the hoop, a different section of the floor, or we go to a system where the guards take all the shots and Joel and Varejo just crash the boards and play D. See it reminds me of the Atlanta Hawks. The Atlanta Hawks are often criticized for having too many guys that do the exact same thing, and there are only so many spots on the floor. I don't want to have that problem.
Who, Varejao? Not at all similar. Varejao can actually shoot, but Przy is a MUCH better rebounder and shot blocker.
Sorry but your dead wrong. If Varejo is shooting a jumper the other team has pushed the offense right into what they wanted them to do. Watch them on D. Varejo takes chareges. Joel takes charges. Yea Joel is better at blocking shots, but if you actually read my post, you would note I was talking about the offensive end of the court. Who would ever give a shit if 2 guys games defensivly were the same? So Anderson whats your defensive game? Playing post and paint defense. So Joel whats your defensive game? Playign post and paint defense. How would those ever differ if they were both physical big players? They wouldn't much. Now that you understand I was talking about the offensive end, yes their games are similar in that they have to be set up. If Anderson Varejo is taking a jumper, your offense broke down and your team failed. It is that simple.
My point is that Varejao does take jumpers and makes some. I'm not sure Joel took a shot outside of 6' this season. I don't see their offensive games as similar at all. Joel can't help you when the offense breaks down. Varejao shoots 53% with some 15' jumpers in his repetoire. If anything, Cleveland should have incorporated Varejao into the offense more often.
