Not sure why so many people like Semih Erden...

[xmuscularghandix]

Who gets more minutes this year, Erden or Harangody?

I think ‘Gody will get more minutes for the C’s AND for The Red Claws.

Who gets more minutes this year, Erden or Harangody?

Harangody.  I wouldn't be surprised if Erden gets zero minutes.

Being 7ft almost always gives you a better chance than other players that have a limited skill set...just look throughout the years in the NBA,the Mikki Moore's,Dampier's of the world manage to carve out themselves a career in the NBA no matter how unfair it might seem.There will always be a place for height(7ft) on a team.

I agree with your thought process but to putting Dampier and Mikki Moore in the same category is like comparing Michael Jackson to Tito Jackson.

LOL,TP for making me laugh,and you are right it was early and thats probably not fair to Damp.,what about Felton Spencer(old school)?

/agree TP back @ ya.

Still not impressed with Semih but I think we could use him as a trade chip.  If another team has an injury.

Erden looking promising so far in first preseason game.

[twistedrico]

Erden looks way better than I thought he was. 

[cornbreadsmart]

Wow. At leat Erden can move his feet a bit. Shaq on the other hand...

[manl_lui]

wow im beginning to like Semih, he can score, reb and PASS!

hes like another Pau Gasol...

with KG and Shaq, lets try to transform this dude =)...hes looks more promising than Patrick Obryant

I think comparing him to Pau is a stretch but I had the same thought about POB -->Semih's appears much more promising

He's like Pau Gasol like Gerald Green was like Tracy McGrady...but Erden doesn't lack for effort so he's got a leg up on ol #5 (before KG made it big )

I will admit he looks good tonight.  But that is because of 2 things.

1.  Celtics >*100 then his Turkish teammates
2.  76ers are awful

Well if nothing else he is our new Scal.

He's looking much more effective than Scal ever did.

Erden's rebounding, scoring and defending.  Scal might give you defense but scoring and definitely rebounding were not coming from him

Harangody is the new Scal. I don't even think that's debatable.

You mean New Victory Cigar, Maybe? He should provide more than Scal. More Rebounding, More Scoring, More Blocks, More Assists, and Less High 5s

no debate from me on that one.  Luke needs to work on his game a bit.  might turn into a decent role player by next year but he's not looking ready to contribute this year

Ha, well even that is an improvement..Scal was bad last year, and I don't think he'll get better as Jordan's successor in Chicago.
