Neither of our 7 footers pass. Asik isn't a ball stopper, but he's goofy in making the ball go where it needs to and Ajinca chunks at the rim no matter what.
Donuts should provide a boost in that regard, even if he literally does nothing else.

Man the Pels are adding some fans from DMo lol. I have seen damn near 10 new people on this thread alone. No telling how many people have taken interest who don't come to message boards. This is awesome!
Anthony Davis needs this. Bad.Originally Posted by GuardianAngel25
Our fanbase used to love this guy, so I am kind of excited to see how he performs. He has always been a skilled player which is something I want to see from our bigs.
I could definitely see D-Mo being used sort of how Gentry/Kerr used Bogut in GS. He was already playing most of his minutes at the 5.
Why doesn't he just do it?

AD wants to be far more like Durant than The Dream.Why doesn't he just do it?
Which is sad, because Hakeem would absolutely destroy teams if he were playing now. Absolutely unguardable.
AD is leading all big men in the NBA. Guy is the most dominant big man in this game. He's going his own route which doesn't have to be identical to Hakeem to be successful. He is only 23 years old which some seem to completely forget. He has his own moves in the paint that he is still working on. Don't know how his game resembles Durants in any way. Plays a lot like Garnett which is fine with me. Again he is just 23 and it's very possible he adds another post move to his game over the next few off seasons as he enters his prime.
perhaps he and D.Mo will work together off to the side some....

The moment AD knew he wanted Motiejunas in a Pels jersey
Actually believe with dmo and his elite post moves will help ad and his but also ads post moves which is why I think this move is bigger then some people think
Hmmm

Has anyone stopped to ask if a half year rental of DMo is even a good idea?
Probably will get us a few more wins, lessen our draft possession and then leave in the off-season
I'm not so sure about it

If it were for anything but the vet minimum, then yeah. It'd be a problem. But it's not and we already had a good draft. At some point, we're going to need to shoot this stupid T-word mindset behind the ear. We acquire talent after years of losing...then poof, suddenly we're ready to contend for a title? Or are we going to need playoff experience? Positive momentum upward instead of pretending that the Process is an actual thing. Hell, just look at Minnesota. All that talent, and they haven't suddenly become a winning team.
Besides, this ain't your run of the mill draft. Even if we're picking 12th or something, we can still end up with a very good player.
Plus, you know.
Lottery.
I never said his game resembles Durant at all. I said AD WANTS to be far more like Durant aka face up to the basket, jumpshots, etc. This is why he tried expanding out to the 3pt line last year. He still wants to be a guard.
Even now when you watch AD post someone up a good bit of the time he faces them up and drives. The only real move I see him make out of a post up is that baby hook move from 3-6ft out. Part of the issue I think is his handles. He lost the ball A LOT during the Cavs game when trying to post up. AD is an amazing basketball player, but his post game is a weakness. We can't just dump the ball off to him and let him back a player down.
This is the reason I like the DMo signing the most. He's the only big we have that has a post up game.
I don't know why this thread still has rumors sticker but newer mind, hope to see DMo on the court as soon as possible. In this case i think things will go well for both sides Donatas and Pelicans. Hope DMo will be in shape in couple of games, as been said he does practice 5 hours/day so it wouldn't be hard to reach it. Imho DMo fits by AD well and will help him develop his game as low post scorer. Also DMo's the passing skills are incredible for 7 footer and there would be less ISO and more team plays in Pelican games. I also hope he gets starting spot sooner than later. DMo is better player than every front court Pelicans player except AD.
BTW, why Pelicans board in RealGM forum is so unpopular?
I kinda see Dmo as Andrew Bogut lite. Less rebounding and defense, better offense the main differences.
be honest with yourself...cousins is the dominant big man in this game.....
now as for this signing...i have been crying for years over demps not addressing post up scoring......we have not had a post up player since carl landry was here and we made the playoffs with his help..........i hope this guy put a smile on my face in the paint and be able to get some points down there when the shots are not falling.......i pray for this....
aw man,,,you are talking about ajinca...
Playoffs experience when you have young core > higher draft pick.
Offensively maybe Cousins. Overall AD is better and he's not a headcase either.
Because we have a couple of popular Pelicans boards already, there is no need for the realgm board I post in the general and trade boards from time to time as jon1798.
You can watch this guy over and over again, just really great pick by Pelicans. People who doubt about his loyality, relax, if he gets minutes, he will stay in NO. He is not about money, he is all about basketball. I think his post moves, work ethic speaks for himself.
