No but seriously. Dude can play. I'm all for keeping him around at our 14th or 15th roster spot. He's been playing better than Bradley.

He's playing good tonight but can he be consistent? The jury is still out on that one. We need to play somebody who isn't the Raptors so I can get a better judge of his skills.

He will make the team, but don't get overexcited because he played well for 10 minutes.
Hopefully, he can help the C's on the defensive end of the floor and eat some minutes at the center spot when JO gets injured.  :-X

For now, I think Greg and GB should be signed to fill out our roster.. But for non-guaranteed deals so they can be waived when we need to sign 'buy-out FAs' come mid-season..

I agree with this.  I wouldnt mind seeing stiemsma on our bench, but I really want to see a spot open for Kmart/jr smith.

I think he has earned a spot.  Gorman said as much.  He is better than Erden I think.  He has length and shows effort and a lot of guys have made it in the league on that formula.

You guys say 10 minutes only but he has played well every time he has played... he isn't great or anything but give him the 15th spot!

if you watched him during the second exhibition game, you saw why he wasnt picked up by other teams.

his interior defense is not consistent. he has trouble putting the ball up in heavy traffic.

mostly, he doesnt box out.

the last point is fixable, luckily. he seems to be a good pick up. but starting against the league's better centers he will have big trouble this season.

Considering that the Raptors don't have a real center I would not read too much into it; but he should be able to stick for a bit. Was hoping to see more from Pavlovic.

I think he's further along that J Johnson and is hungrier

He is six fouls and tall.   I think he accounted himself well.  I do think he is just as good as Erden ever was and he is a nice insurance policy and can eat minutes.

I will take inconsistent and sometimes able to hold his own against better players over consistently mediocre and not able to ever guard anyone good.
