Unfortunately, not only did Big Baby pan out, but Fazekas completely didn't.

At this point there’s no question about which is the better player but Fazekas would have been the better fit. We could still use another shooter.
As far as Davis I’m not sure where he’d play for us. For that matter where would he play for the Celtics if Garnett was available? He's too slow to guard 3's and since he doesn't have Bass' athleticism I'm not sure we could play him at the 5 the way we do Bass. As bad as the Dirk/Bass front line is defensively Dirk/Davis could be even worse.
Still, you have to give the kid credit for having the grawls to take and knock down big shot after big shot in the playoffs.
BTW, are you ready to admit that Rick Adleman is a good coach yet
