Ah, I see. I never got the impression that Okur got a lot of hype back when he was with Detroit. Although I would say he was good off the bench with them, not a one hit wonder like Jerome James.
Also, I don't see Gortat as a bust. EVERY TIME the man got a start/lots of minutes due to Howard being injured/suspended/foul trouble ect., he produced big time. He's athletic, great hops, great rebounder, can run the floor, can finish, good defender (especially weakside). I don't see him as a J. James who was overhyped bc he scored in the post decently vs. SA in the playoffs, rd. 1 mind you. Gortat is for real.
