What's new

The Dark Horse: Udoka Azubukie

If anything, he's one of those extra roster spots that we need to cut right now. Dude isn't physically fit to be a NBA player, let's be real
 
I’m not a big believer in Doke but per my inside source… Doke had one friend on the team… Rudy. He did feel a like an outsider… having a familiar face will actually be something really good for him.

I don’t think he gets his option picked up and I don’t think he ends up being much more than a third center type. I do hope he can stay healthy enough to give himself a shot.
Maybe a younger core around him will make him feel more comfortable. I'm assuming him and Agbaji know each other.
 
I see him as a guy who can play 12-15 minutes of pretty efficient and fun basketball every game. Can maybe start and be like a Jonas type player without the outside game. He always seems to play very efficient 1st quarters before doing little the rest of the game (at least he used to, these past couple of years he's been different).
 
I wish, though not really because I wanna tank the **** out of it. But yeah, really doubtful with the injuries. What was his major injury last season and what’s his timetable for return?

I was hoping that a prior relationship would have helped him last year (with him and Forrest from AAU circuit, I believe). But apparently it didn't.
 
The real question is how good is Kessler going to be? I'm not sure if our starting center of the future is currently on the roster, though.
The concept of starting center in the modern NBA is overrated. GSW just won it with Kevon Looney as their starting center. A washed 33 yr old Brook Lopez won it with Bucks the year before. The bar isn't that high.

C’mon guys! Remember a guy named Quin Snyder? He did nothing to instill confidence in this kid shipping him off to G Leage Siberia, signing Whiteside to take his minutes. Up until Snyder had to sit out for a spell and Doke had some real nice productive minutes under Alex Jensen.

I’m worried that with so much negativity about the pick from fans and in the media that he’ll need a change of scenery to be successful. Could be wrong, but I think he has to blow up and stay healthy to stay around. Wouldn’t be surprised to see both him and Butler gone next year.
Yes. A complete scenery change would help. Maybe he should try Volleyball.
 
Look, NO TRUE JAZZ FAN should be cheering for us to win this year. Winning would set back the rebuild by multiple years.
We should hope to see individual improvement, players stand out, an identity to be formed, and BEST CASE SCENARIO, lose 60 games by 1 - 5 points ending in last place in the league.

We should NOT be hoping for wins. Friggin chooches.
Wow, I never knew who you are. You're the person that decides who are the real True Jazz fans.

Brook still has the best hook shot in the league.
