What's new

Tomic to the Jazz

His shooting percentages are crazy, but he is only playing like 22 minutes per game. If he is so great why can't he crack 20 ppg and 30 mpg in Europe for heaven's sake.

The Euro game is only 40 minutes long, right? So it seems to me that 22 minutes per game is the equivalent in NBA terms of 22 * 48/40 = 26.4 minutes. 30 minutes would be the equivalent of 36 minutes... not too many NBA guys average more than 36 minutes per game. Points would need to similarly be adjusted for game duration.
 
16 pts, 12 boards and 6 assists in 24 min. I really hope DL gets this done finally. FWIW if Wikipedia is to be believed FC Barcelona has a TO next year.
 
Best center in Europe, no question about it. 16-12-6 Vs Maccabi, actual champion

And quite frankly, if the Jazz bring him over they've managed his career perfectly without even knowing it. He was only so-so before signing with Barcelona. He could have come over in 2012, but KOC wanted him to "blow up" over there first. Plus they had Jefferson, Millsap, Favors, Kanter and Evans. And Ty Corbin would have buried him on the bench for two years before Snyder ever would have had a shot at him. I doubt he'd have done as well for the Jazz as he has in Spain. He filled out, worked on his game and made himself into the best center in Europe. The Jazz should get him for a discount because they're only competing with Barcelona and they can crush any offer they can make without overspending by NBA standards. I really hope they just buy him out and fill out the majority of the bigs rotation with Gobert, Favors, Tomic, Booker and a player yet to be identified. . . Pliess, vet FA, draft pick, etc.
 
I just realized how small our bench is. Our bench bigs are Trevor Booker and Jeremy Evans. We definitely will do well to add Tomic this summer!
 
I love Ante's game. Speaks Ingles very well.

BT dubs, how's Neto doing?

He scored 16 on 4 shots. Didn't miss a shot the whole game. 4/4 from the field, 8/8 from the line. The more I watch him the more I want us to bring him over.
 
So bored of hearing about this guy. We could have a championship team and people here would be complaining about why Tomic and Neto aren't on the team.
