Nachbar

The Hornets could continue without a healthy 12th man until David West is ready in about two weeks. Nachbar, 6-foot-9 and 221 pounds, is out of position at the two, but Scott likes the way the big man moves in the backcourt.

Nachbar signed on with the Turkish team Efes Pilsen back in 2009, but now he is hoping to return stateside and suit up in the NBA once again. Nachbar will be hoping to latch on with a team that needs depth at the forward position, and it should be intriguing to see what kind of interests his name drums up on the open market.

With Charlotte choosing not to match the Grizzlies’ offer sheet for Dante Cunningham, the Bobcats are looking for another scorer to come off the bench. While one of them could make the team, neither Nachbar or Moon should be on your fantasy radar at this time.

Nachbar is a 38% shooter from downtown for his NBA career, and at 6'10" he’s versatile enough to play either forward position. He’s a role player, however, and isn’t likely to offer fantasy value this year.

Nachbar had been mentioned as an option for the Knicks, Bobcats, Nets and Celtics this season, but that never quite panned out.

Nachbar played for Knicks Head Coach Mike D’Antoni in Italy, so there is a comfort level there, however as a role player, he would be an extreme long shot to provide any fantasy value this season.

It was thought that Jim Jackson may slide over to the two, which he did, but Nachbar started at small forward instead of Juwan Howard. He was a point shy of his career high, but probably doesn’t have much fantasy value, even with T-Mac sitting.

Nachbar is averaging 2.1 points and 0.8 rebounds in 14 contests this season.

Nachbar’s role had been diminishing. He hadn’t scored in Houston’s last three games.

Nachbar was averaging 3.3 points and 2.0 rebounds before going on the injured list earlier this month.
