Najera was awesome tonight, hopefully Nellie will continue to give him big minutes. He's earned them with a game like that.

Najera was as good as Najera could be last night. Unfortunately, he's just not good enough. He was repeatedly beat out for offensive boards, he provided absolutely no interior defensive presense ( unless you consider drawing a charge as a defensive presense) and he couldn't score his way out of a paper bag. If you want more production on offense, he needs to sit in favor of Jamison. If you want better rebounding, he needs to sit in favor of Jamison. If you want better defense, he sits in favor of Jamison.
Najera plays with heart, he's fun to watch. But he is not what this team needs out of it's forward position. With the talent we have loaded to bare at PF, there is no way in HELL Najera should ever get more than 10 minutes a game as a change of pace energy guy.
