At What Point Does 'Dok Overtake Whiteside?

[slc]

Jazz have to keep three legit centers
If one is hurt you still have a starter and backup

 

[Rubashov]

He hustles and is hungry

I hustle but just ate left over pizza, no longer hungry.

Whiteside is better offensively but seems lazy on defense (or maybe that's just his defensive IQ).dok looks promising but he seems injury prone. I noticed early on he was gasping for air while shooting free throws. he need to focus on conditioning.

Dok still needs some help on fundamentals like setting screens and blocking out. However, if he competes like he did last night, he will see more minutes.

He made him a starter over Whiteside so I'm not so sure

Whiteside is so inconsistent, Doke is no joke not anymore

This would've been nice in 1990.

It's 2022 and teams regularly exploit our one center who is arguably one of the best defensive centers to have ever played the game.

I'm not sure if having 3 legit centers is actually a pro, especially given how thin we are at the 3-4...

I liked the pick when we made it and that has never changed. The tools that Dok has are intriguing and definitely worth the risk where he was picked up. He is still raw but It is not uncommon for bigs to be slow developing. The center position is more important in the Jazz scheme than most if not any other NBA team and it is not easy to find good back ups. I think we have proved that. I am still not convinced that Dok will make it but in my view it was worth the gamble for a draft pick and it wont surprise me if Dok becomes a solid NBA starter. Happy to be in the minority on this one.

We could've drafted McDaniels or Bane. We whiffed big time.

 

[The Thriller]

I'm glad he's showing life. But we should've drafted McDaniels or Bane. Bane especially, he makes Clarkson completely expendable.

I find it crazy that an NBA center can get this far and not understand the fundamental of boxing out your opponent for a rebound.

He showed us more stuff than Bradley for sure

I think that he's a little bit too nice, just needs a little more of this:

Boxing out is the biggest NBA fundamentals failure.

Bane absolutely, but I don't get all the love for McDaniels.

When Rudy comes back dok is gone from the rotation. Book it

No chance in hell. Quin will stick with Hassan. It’s safe.
