What's new

Oui Oui Gobert!

Haha that's probably why he was so high on Wolters, Olynk, and MCW.

Doesn't explain why he was high on Gobert. That's like a double smoke screen.

He actually was explaining on the radio that the Jazz were really high on both Zeller and Olynyk, as they viewed them both as potentially the perfect 3rd big compliment to Favors and Kanter, and a potential key compliment to one of them if one of Favors and Kanter had to be moved because they didn't mesh (he said there was some concerns of this nature this currently in the organization). He also said he was halfway through a Wolters highlight / analysis video because he was convinced we would end up with him. But then Burke just kind of happened.

So there likely was some shopping of Enes happening. Trade value would be low right now due to his injury and lack of PT.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember something about an upcoming NBA rule change regarding offensive goaltending... If indeed it is changed to the FIBA way, Gobert is going to be really useful, cleaning the rim on both ends.
 
From France it's 99% sure that Gobert will play with the Jazz next year.
Cholet waived their coach next year and the new one was not interesting in developping new guys. So Gobert had less playing time and responsabilities and the season wasn't good for him and the team.

He will come but he needs to gain some muscle and has a lot to do to develop an offensive game.
The good point is that isn't affraid to play in the paint (not a Petro or an Ajinca)
In fact is king of a McGee less athletic.

For me at this time is more a 4th rotation inside (like Kanter was last year).
 
This guy needs something to eat. Al has to teach him,how he has to build a body competitive in the National Basketball Association.
 
There was talk about the Jazz taking him at 14 if they couldn't move up in the draft so to get him at 27 is amazing. I read he blew away the Jazz in his workout. I think it was a great pick.

I haven't heard anything about goaltending rule changes. Not sure what you're thinking of.

I remember having heard a cpl years ago, when FIBA adapted NBA rules, such as the shape of the paint and no charge semi circle, there was an interest of the NBA to remove the offensive goaltending, as it's time consuming and disruptive with the video review. FIBA rule is the follwing: After the ball touched the rim, it's free.
 
Looks like he's got a little nasty in him, which is great. The double blocks are always a sign of pride in defending the paint, and he seemed to catch and throw it down with authority. Granted, he'll be playing against bigger, tougher bangers, but he doesn't look soft at all...
 
Listening to Locke's webcast thing and he says Olynyk hit 63/100 3 pointers for the Jazz during his workout. Slightly disappointed we didn't get him as new Okur, but Gobert should be cool too.

I know that's the FIBA rule, but I haven't heard anything at all about the NBA thinking of changing their rule to match FIBA. Not going to happen.
 
Karl Malone you have a new project...

Remember that Mark Eaton was down at the ZBBPFC working out with Enes last season. I think Gobert would benifit from Eaton. And since the Jazz are reaching out to thier past....Greg Ostertag is probably doing nothing. And if the Jazz get real desperate.... Shawn Bradley lives in Murray.

It's been reported as a main topic of discussion every year when they do the rule committee meetings.

Colton, I have heard a few commentators talking about the possibility. The arguement is that the NBA has the best athletes on the planet and by making the ball live it allows for more highlights of super athletic plays. I think I recall teh NBA had a commissioin or a sub-comittee study it, but it didn't make it past there yet. KOC would know the direction it is heading, he being on the rules committee.

Bradley could teach him how to make a poster!!
