Take Withey?

[Tony]

Dude would be a really good backup with the Jazz' coaching staff. Jazz should offer enough money for Pelicans not to match.

We should try getting Ajinca - he's better and he's going to be a free agent too. Unrestricted...

I agree
Jazz should stockpile all the seven foot tall French African players they can find.

Ajinca's decent but check it out, in April, Withey had 18 blocks and averaged 8.3 points and 3.6 rebounds in 13.3 minutes. Dude just needs to be full time backup and be coached well and surrounded by our young awesome roster and he'll blossom.

I'd take either as our backup. Ajinca would be better, but will be more expensive. We need to keep Rudy's minutes around 30-32 per night... save those legs long-term.

 

[DForceAUS]

Id prefer Ajinca as well but really either would be great for keeping Rudy to 30mins, gotta protect his health for long term and either of these two are good for 15mins, as Im not sure the answer will be found in #12. Im not against a return of Koufos for the same reason.

Can Ajinca guard the post? I'd rather have Withey. All day. But I'd rather have a stretch big than either.

Clint Capella isn't a 7-footer but he is French. And I want him on the jazz.

I liked Withey's game in college - he totally moves funny but he anticipates well on defense and has a decent post game. He'd be an awesome Gobert back-up.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Whithey, the guy who couldn't get minutes on a really thin bench? No thanks.

I'd rather our backup center offer some different attributes than Gobert, not be a poor man's (very poor) version to what we already have.

Why is it always about race?

In DL we trust.

 

[NAOS]

I'd be surprised if Withey is better than Pliess, all things considered.

Withey sucks

WAT???

 

[Coach Ellis]

If the Jazz want to nab another French center to pair with Gobert, they should just trade for Joakim Noah. Aim high ladies.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Jazz won't be able to sign a good FA; all of them are too afraid of facing Rudy in practice.

 

[Twin Towers]

If we are keeping Booker as our backup 4 then our Backup center has to be able to hit the mid range shot consistently.
We can't have 4 bigs that can't shoot.
Favors is decent but not a threat yet.

Whoever doesn't like this signing is crazy!!!!! Check this post ^^^^^^
