Oui Oui Gobert!

[Stifle Tower]

At worst, Jazz sign a 3rd big and Gobert takes over Kanter's old role (5-10 spot mins and several DNP's). I'd be happy even going minimalist with Jeremy and Gobert splitting the 30+ mins behind Favors and Kanter. Why not? We want a young bench to play us out of leads. especially in the first part of the season.

I love that the Jazz were willing to spend cash on a pick. I don't recall them ever doing that before.

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

Good or bad at least Dennis Lindsay isn't afraid.

 

[Shad]

Isiah Thomas had Gobert going number 7. Lol

 

[Harcher]

you talking **** about fes bruh?

yes... as much as I hoped for contribution from the fes, and enjoyed his post game interviews...

 

[b_line]

Jazz line up could be:

Burke
Hayward, burks
Demarre, marv
Favors, tomic, Evans
Kanter, gobert.

What a fun lineup to watch. Crazy!! So excited for the future.

I hope he is not a Hasheem Thabeet.

It's not like we used the 2nd pick on the draft on him. For a guy with his defensive potential, it's worth the shot to take him at 27.

 

[Harcher]

I hope he is not a Hasheem Thabeet.

The quote from Locke is that he WANTS to be an NBA player, WANTS to be in the USA (this was noted also in the Draft Express notes on him.) In the same discussion, Locked noted that John Calipari said that Hasheem Thabeet doesn't like to play basketball. This one aspect is why so many big guys (huge guys actually) are so often a bust. They can be players without much heart or care. Then you get to NBA, and you are not so special anymore just being 7ft tall. I'm crossing my fingers that the psych report on Gobert is accurate and he is legitimately interested in the game.

 

[underKANTER]

Jazz roster:

Burke - trade for Kabongo or Walters - Burks - Tinsley
Hayward - Burks - Murphy
Webster - Carroll - Williams
Kanter - Evans - FA
Favors - Gobert

Tank this season and get a starting caliber SF in next years draft! Play Burks big minutes off the bench.

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

46 and cash

Is there a link to the trade. Watching the draft and haven't heard anything about it. If true go jazz.

Who is Walters? Is he anything like Wolters? He's good.

According to Locke a scout thinks Gobert has a chance to be a top-10 leader in blocks...... in the history of the NBA.

 

[Qman]

At this price I like the pick. I have grave concerns about him ever being any good. But worth the chance.

I sincerely wish Locke didn't like him or say dumb **** like this.

 

[Hantlers]

Sometimes I really think that Locke understands very little about the actual game of basketball, and just gets numbers.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Really excited to call every Gobert highlight reel "The Gobert Report"

 

[footawn]

Cue the Burke comparisons to Stockton in 3, 2, 1...

 

[zbone]

All we need to do is make him work with Malone on strength and conditioning, with Stockton on passing, with Hornacek on shooting and we have a future hall of famer.

Saying that I like the pick a lot.
