Plus he speaks more languages than the rest of us combined!

I'm trying to figure out if you're joking or serious. I mean, the big fella is giving everything he's got, and I certainly don't fault his effort. But his passing? He's got 8 assists in 11 games. And he's 3rd on the team in TO's, and it should really be higher for the number of balls that are right in his lap and he drops.
I don't hate the guy, actually he brings a lot of decent things to the table in certain situations, like an acceptable level of defense on other big guys. But he's just such a liability most of the time on offense.
I think we tend to excuse the fact that he bobbles the ball 2-3 times per game because "he's a big man". His catch % is worse than a minor league shortstop. Other team's big men catch the ball, and finish afterward too; this should not be a really high bar we set. He's a grown man, catch the ball.
