All-time leader in block in the SEC. Got drafted by the Heat in 2009 or 10 and spent a lot of time over seas playing. Was just named to NBDL prospect all star team.

Won a ring with the heat last year, and is considered to be the best defensive big man in the D league right now.

This 6'9" D-leaguer might be a 10 day try out for most teams, but I for one have some excitement because of the pairing with Thibs. This is awesome. The best defender in d-league? Maybe Thibs asked for someone that can play defense under his breathe watching Boozer one day.

Bulls need 13 players on their roster and he is number 13. You can only drop below that for 2 weeks at a time. If it is a 10 day contract it allows the Bulls 3+ weeks before they have to find that 13th guy if he does not work out.

Same guy who thought greg Oden was the missing piece for the Heat. What do you expect?

That was long counterbalanced by the Pacers signing Andrew Bynum.

Kind of surprised the Bulls didn't sign Mike James for the trillionth time.

I think a team can only sign a player to 2 10-day contracts a season.

He will be gone after his 10-day contract. The FO has to be slick with how they sign the 13th man because incentive bonuses for both Noah & Taj could likely push us into the LT territory. I fully expect Mike James to be that 13th guy when all is said and done. They are just using as many 10-day contracts as they can until they HAVE to sign a 13th guy for the remainder of the season to be eligible for the playoffs.

He's actually the all time shot blocker in college history, not just the SEC.
He's slightly undersized and from what I remember, I believe he is fairly thin as well. He does have good instinct defensively around the basket(obviously) but that's about it.

When I saw your post I got excited because I thought you changed the name of the guy you quoted. Then I saw my excitement was for naught.

I think it's a nice move. Nothing says he'll excel like DJ, but who thought DJ would play this well? The Bulls definitely won't find our next star scorer from the DL, but a 'shot blocker' could actually help the Bulls, imo.
Thibb's obviously has a way to get the best out of players, especially defensively. Inserting a natural shot blocker into Thibb's defense might help out a lot. I've always said I'd like to sign a real shot blocker for the Bulls.
Not that this is the guy, but imagine the Bulls defense with a dynamic rim protector? I for one, think it'd be hard to score against the Bulls at the end of games. Hope Thibb's puts this guy in a little to see what he can do!

If it gets Nazr off the floor, it's a good signing.

Here's the article on his signing. Sure seems like a good fit for the Bulls. I know it's early to get excited about about a DL acquisition, but this guy could really add to the bench mob defense, imo. Check out a comment by a Bulls fan who watch him in college...
Come on Thibbs, put the kid in!
