Best center in Europe, no question about it. 16-12-6 Vs Maccabi, actual champion
And quite frankly, if the Jazz bring him over they've managed his career perfectly without even knowing it. He was only so-so before signing with Barcelona. He could have come over in 2012, but KOC wanted him to "blow up" over there first. Plus they had Jefferson, Millsap, Favors, Kanter and Evans. And Ty Corbin would have buried him on the bench for two years before Snyder ever would have had a shot at him. I doubt he'd have done as well for the Jazz as he has in Spain. He filled out, worked on his game and made himself into the best center in Europe. The Jazz should get him for a discount because they're only competing with Barcelona and they can crush any offer they can make without overspending by NBA standards. I really hope they just buy him out and fill out the majority of the bigs rotation with Gobert, Favors, Tomic, Booker and a player yet to be identified. . . Pliess, vet FA, draft pick, etc.
