re: why does it seem everyone is ok/pleased with Asik?

Yeah I just want him to go up strong with 2 hands quickly after receiving the ball under the basket. He seems to pull it down way to much and then gets blocked by the rim.

Definitely. And that might translate to a bucket every other game. But we are missing that point per game versus his very achievable potential, not what we would get with Stiemsma.

Certainly worthy of a mention in a thread, but it needs perspective in how effective he is in making us a better team. He's missing a high percentage of his attempts going up under the rim, but who cares? It's a point a game. At most 2. Alter 1 extra shot or snatch a rebound away from a guy going for a outback, and he's made up for it.
