Can not understand the bagging Coops gets from some on here. Frankly was quite happy with his contributions over the years. At least you knew what you got. Yeah his offence was not good but his work rate and defence was great to watch. Old extendo arms on the block was always good.

Work rate could not be faulted some times prone to foul trouble. But he proved that he could adapt and became/was a very serviceable player.

Nice point Isaac, I was actually glad to see Rogers opt out on us a few years ago, had a few injuries, then when he hit Perth, got an MVP i reckon and then went thru a series of other injuries...

Coops is no superstar by any stretch, even probably if you asked him, but he sure as shit is serviceable.

So true Isaac, but I was comparing the career stats.

Let me rephrase. "If you had a choice of either one, injury free and fully fit at the peak of their careers, which one?"

Skud,
Coops does get his fair share of shite on this forum. He is a bit of a punching bag.
He is a pretty good contributor Defensively and doing those team things that no-one really sees. Setting screens for guards to drive in for layups, setting screens when the ball is being carried down, calling the manups in D and of course his trademark blocks.
Offensively, there is not too many fans that don't cringe when he has the ball in his hand. With seconds on the shot clock, he is not the one to knock down a 3.
But, lets compare him against another centre, someone like Paul Rogers. DC:PR
MPG 22.5:26.5
FG% 43%:49% (PR)
FT% 56%:56% (Same)
RPG 5.2: 9.1 (PR)
APG 1.1:2.0 (PR)
SPG 0.45:0.55 (PR)
BPG 1.19:1.37 (PR)
TPG 1.12:1.80 (DC)
FPG 2.78:2.20
PPG 5.32:14.41 (PR)

Rogers walks all over Coops. If you had a choice, which one?

A strong agressive young big - Adrien Sturt is the best.

Awesome news, cheers Isaac. Hopefully Burston is the next such announcement.
