I saw Ian Mahinmi got playing time last night for the Spurs and again did well. And I remembered the Top 50 Free Agents post that ranked him high despite nobody outside San Antonio ever seeing him play.
Anyway, Synergy has all his clips, and I took the liberty to record some of what he does and post it. This isn't a highlight reel, I just clicked Mahinmi's plays and let it run, so you'll see good and bad plays.
fundamentallysound talked more about Synergy here if you're interested.

really, really fluid athlete. obviously has some moves down. no passing though. i still like him.
there is something awesome about Pargo, though.
Seriously. It’s kind of awe inspiring: he WILL shoot. He has no conscience. No remorse. He will shoot – the situation, the opponent, the country. He could be in zero gravity floating in orbit. The dude would be jacking up shots. And missing.

There’s a bunch of free ones that all do the same thing.
Mahinmi is an interesting guy. He's young and his PER has been pretty solid when he's played (limited minutes)
but his raw on-off numbers (not a large enough sample size of minutes with him to do adjusted +/-) have been pretty terrible.

Eh, I'm not going to look too hard at 162 minutes of +/- data
Point taken though. We’ve seen a lot of those high usage, no passing post-up players put up crappy APMs, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Mahinmi ends up in the middle of the Craig Smith / Hakim Warrick / Al Jefferson / Zach Randolph spectrum.
Still, his upside is ridiculous, and athletic, 6’10" guys with polished post games stick in NBA rotations unless they’re named Eddy Curry. Imagine how high he’d go if he were in this year’s draft.
The other thing I think that might be telling is, for all his talent, Pop doesn't play him, except for in blowouts.
There’s probably a reason for that.
