Therefore, the Cavs will not pay Varejao more than Gooden, who makes $6.4 million this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708359367428127425.post-82389503992084911142007-08-11T23:25:00.000-07:002007-08-11T23:25:00.000-07:00Very interesting summary.

I agree that Drew may seam like the better player because he can score, but he is so unbelievably bad at just about anything outside the realm of scoring or rebounding that it hurts the team. <BR/><BR/>I recently re-watched the first quarter from the most recent Lakers visit to Cleveland, and Gooden was hitting his jump shots, but was giving up so many points on defense. Vladimir Radmonovic's streak of sucking ended at the expense of Drew Gooden. Shavlik Randolph looked like an all star at the expense of Drew Gooden. <BR/><BR/>His intangibles are ridiculously weak. It's as if he plays stoned or something.<BR/><BR/>I don't agree with all of the points that you made. Overall, I agree with your post. One criticism of Drew that I do not agree with is that he cannot shoot the three. I'm already irritated by his inability to get down low and reliance on the mid ranger shot. Imagine how much more soft he would be if he was camped out beyond the arc. Not a pretty though. <BR/><BR/>Neither Andy or Drew are perfect, but for my money, I would much rather have Andy at the starting PF spot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708359367428127425.post-57275924264135326062007-08-09T21:28:00.000-07:002007-08-09T21:28:00.000-07:00Good stuff Krolic.Help defense is a very underated...Good stuff Krolic.<BR/><BR/>Help defense is a very underated skill. Varejao has excelled in this area in such a short period of time, whilst Drew continues to fail at grasping the idea.Karmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944286941655578539noreply@blogger.com
