I'll just say this, Monty is the master at giving rookies the Larry Brown treatmant. Also it looks like Najera is going to get Cliff's time which isn't too good because Najera shoots too many clunkers and is slow and gives fouls. Zarko and Andris should get this time. Najera should get his usual time

Najera should get his usual time</div> English is probably a barrier + lack of basketball fundamentals. The Warriors drafted him based on the fact he can do a lot of things that 6'11-7'0 forward/centers can't do. Like have a standing vertical of over 30 inches. I think running he must be like a 40. Can anybody verify this? Oh and he's got good hands and pretty decent awareness and he has done well in summer league. He probably needs to work on his free throw shooting because he is worse than Foyle.
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">...is an explosive leaper with a 34? inch vertical jump (Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony each have a 33-inch verticals, by way of comparison) </div> According to Chad Ford's pre-draft bio, so I'd imagine his running vertical is over 40 inches. As for free throw shooting, he was 14-29 (.483) in summer league play, so yeah, hopefully he's working on it.

I've heard in terms of physical body he's more like Jermaine O'neil mixed with Kenyon Martin (both are athletic freaks). He's got a meanstreak like Kmart which is awesome. He's probably not as skilled as Bosh or JO obviously, but that's why he's a project as is Mickael Pietrus. Everyone saw what Pietrus could do when he's doing things right.
