Edgar,
Gortat could play with any PG in the league and he'd still be an above average center. It's not Nash that makes him an excellent defender and rebounder, a good pick setter and roll man or a competent finisher.
Very under-appreciated player. It's still hard for me to believe that Orlando traded him and Carter's great expiring for Hedo's terrible contract and Jason Richardson.
I understand what league and media has been selling about him and what a couple of games and playoff series can do for a player..see BBD
imho Gortan will never be the kind of player people think he is. He is a fighter and in offense what a pg makes him
Hes definetly not a player i will put up there. and not a player i like for more than one reason.
Limited, oportunism, and specially the closet overrateness that its implied on him
I can understand why people think hes as great as thinked because people thinks Perk is the " unreplacable" difference maker on the Cs.
I know he hurt the Magic but it wastn because hes that great its because they dont have anyone else
Do you ever analyze why when people talks about best 10 or 20 or 30 cs in the league Gortat as glorified as he is names never appear.
