I have to admit that I am not a fan of European-style big men. What is the benefit of having a big man if he plays like he is a little man? At the moment, Hadzic is the biggest man on the roster at 6-8, 227#. However, last season well over half his shots (57 of 95) were from the arc. However, we are back to the old problem of people shooting 3-pointers who cannot make 3-pointers. Hadzic shot an anemic 28%. Granted, he was a true freshman, and his shooting should improve with a year to mature, but that number is not very encouraging.
But he is a big man. He is our biggest man. If he is out gunning from the perimeter, who is rebounding? Who is working for position for an inside shot? Probably that is how he will have to play since that is the only way they know how to play these days, especially in Europe. But as things currently stand we are going to be considerably vertically-challenged, and I hate to see us wasting his height.
