[cyman3]

Just an interesting thought. The NETS claim that hes the best shooter on the team.

Krstic 7'0" 240 lbs

Pachulia 6'11" 265 lbs

Nenad makes 47% of his jumpers. Zaza makes 31% of his jumpers.

The Nets give up 2.4 fewer ppg when Nenad is playing. The Hawks give up 1.3 more ppg when Zaza is playing.

They are both weak on the defensive boards.

Right now, Kristic is better. He rebounds very well and he's defending the bigs very well.

He stopped JO in their series.

He's playing well against Shaq.

Zaza is still young, playing on a bad team. However, Zaza has more moves around the post.

I meant stopped as in stopped them from going to the next round..

BUT...

Kristic did keep JO in foul trouble.. fouled him out of game 6.. and played well in that series.

Nenad is a much better shooter and he's taller and longer.
