omer asik of bulls

Am I going crazy or is this guy a perfect long term back up for noah.
He's a rookie playing 10  minutes and getting a few rebounds and points per game.
Home but he can play D, has some touch and he dunks the ball with authority.

Espn Insider: Thorpe Rookie Mid-Season Awards
Best Defender: Omer Asik, Bulls

"Part of the reason why Asik gets the nod is the lack of good defense being played overall by this class. But he's deserving as well, thanks to his attentiveness to scouting reports and his willingness to move his feet and contest every shot. "

He does jump a bit too much for the shot block, costing him valuable rebounding position, but for the most part he's an excellent pick-and-roll defender and a tough guy to score on inside.

Don't buy your "Go Omer" t-shirt just yet.  The Rockets are showing a strong interest in him.

I would have no complaints if we can use him as a piece to get kevin martin.
