I would say if Loy Vaught recovers from his injury and he is an FAin the
coming season. He would be the right player to go after. He is a great
rebounder and adequate low post scorer and quite physical in the paint. Now
how well he has recovered is a judgment call, but if RP & scouts can assert
that, then it could also be one of the reasons for getting him cheap. -
