Back up with the Grizz. Played well Wednesday in Portland. These guys sound bullish on him.

Grizzlies play in Sacramento tonight, at Lakers Sunday. I am attending the Laker game, expecting him to get some clock.

He's gonna have trouble stealing minutes from Jaren Jackson (who is a future star IMO) and JaMychal Green.

I believe if Ivan was given 30 mins a night he would average 10 and 10....I don't see where Memphis is so good that they don't need 10 and 10 per night....Maybe I'm wrong...not about Ivan but about Memphis....

Surprised they're playing him at center

Thanks for the info Eric....I still see him as a 10 and 10 guy with a decent amount of minutes....Ivan is not the type of player who will jump off the page at you but he also won't lose a lot of games for you....I hope the GM's assessment is right and Ivan has a long NBA career.....

I made several posts about Ivan last season after checking stats per minute for the Grizzlies and he led the team in rebounds per minute and averaged double digits in both rebounds and points if given starter minutes.
My best High School buddy works the clock for Grizzlies and believes they will dump him soon. I disagree and point out his per minute stats which he has yet to acknowledge as having any relevance. They definitely need to give him about 20-25 minutes per game. Memphis coaching and management very iffy.

Ivan's best skill maybe his rebounding. long, good hands, blocks out, knows where the ball will be coming off the rack

I remember predicting he will the best cal rebounder ever. I have no idea if that became true. Probably best measure is rebounds per minute

I prefer percentage of all rebounds while the player is on the court, but that requires a play-by-play to calculate.
