Bamba moves like Hakeem compared to Thabeet, but he seems to have chronic back issues and other probably other related injuries. So I believe in the talent and especially the designated role in our system, plus he should be pretty cheap factoring in minutes, contract length and roster make-up of the Magic. We should be targeting these kind of players a lot more often in general. We are really awful taking advantage of such leverage situations and making forward projections about younger players. I am no Jerry West, but it was so obvious Zubac and Harrell were much better value than VAJ, heck they were better players immediately,too.
