Since dallas is in the Western conference, a lot of people here dont know who Brandon Bass is as a player. He is a Freak. Think about having Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley making a kid. He has a very good jump shot like Oakley but he is quick like mason, with the ability to jump out the gym. He was in the top 20 in ft%. Hug hustle and Energy guy. And, to Top it off he is 24yrs old and answers almost every weakness of ours team.
Positives

FT%
Energy and hustle
Toughness and physical
Athletic

Fits and fills a starter position for the magic
young 24
Powerful finisher at the basket

If I had to choose between lewis or bass Guarding Labron, I would choose Bass. He is quicker then most people credit him.

May 22, 2009 Brandon Bass, Free Agent Targets: 2009, Ryan Anderson, Yi
Way back when Rod Thorn gave his state of the team address, he called this upcoming free agent class average at best. While he was unable to talk about any specific player (due to NBA rules), you just got the feeling that the Nets wouldn’t be too active in free agency. With that being said, there is one guy I want the Nets to take a serious look at. He is Brandon Bass, an Unrestricted Free Agent.
You can see the hot spots as well... Elbow shots and base line are automatic... no threes as stated earlier...
==================ARTICLE========================
Brandon Bass enters unrestricted free agency with a bang.
From ESPN.com's John Hollinger:
There probably isn't much Dallas could have done against the Nuggets, and Rick Carlisle squeezed about all he could from the Mavericks' limited roster. But one thing he may kick himself for is not giving Brandon Bass a more extended run. Bass only averaged 19 minutes a game in the playoffs, but his production was monstrous -- he ranks 11th among all players in postseason PER, right behind 10 rather prominent NBA stars.
The Magic aren't sitting around and resting on their laurels. They are very busy trying to bring in quality players to upgrade a team that made it to the Finals last season. They have already signed Vince Carter and are courting both Brandon Bass and are considered a front runner to land Rasheed Wallace. Hopefully Danny has a few tricks up his sleeve to improve the Celtics or they are going to be left in the dust as other teams in the East improve this off season.

LOL!
I have seen him play and could use a player like him, but I would rather get R. Wallace. He can still give 3 more years, good defender and can step outisde to hit the 3.

The only reason I would take Rasheed over Bass is because he can guard the Center position. However, if we resign Gortat, I'd be fine with signing Bass instead of Sheed. He reminds me a lot of Jason Maxiell, who I always wanted when we play Detroit. I would love seeing a second unit with Bass and Gortat off the bench. That would be a rebound gobbling, shot blocking crew.

I'm DEFINITELY down. I love the thought of sheed on this team, but feel much more confident with bass, considering his age. Anderson could be his backup...this is predicated on the thought that we re-sign gortat though. If you ask me, Re-signing Gortat is of the utmost importance at this point.

i have no issue with him being 6'8. Jason Maxiell is 6'7 and is a beast on the boards. And as long as he has a wide, strong body, it doesn't matter if he is 6'2. If he can get good positioningand boxes the guy out, no one will get that rebound with a body like Bass'. Examples of shorter rebounders, Charles Barkley, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, etc.
And saying that not having a 3 point shot is negative shows how much we rely on the outside game.

the play at the :53 mark won me over. I want this guy over everyone that's out there. DAM!!!!
Imagine a front court of: Dwight, Anderson, Gortat, & Bass for the next 5 yrs.
Although I would love Sheed to land here, but let's face it he would be rental property only....good, proven and worn in many areas, but this kid Bass is in the final stages of his rookie contract and he represents or answers the question of what the Magic PF spot should be!!! He is the future!!!!
It's Time!! Let's Go!!
