There was literally no other minimum C available that I could care about. this is fine. i guess.I dont know. Im not really pumped about it. I guess the upside is Utah thinks they have a secret sauce to make these types of players excel and pop.
I really hope Quin doesn't make the mistake of not giving the young guys burn here and there.I feel bad for Doke. Like, I almost want to write him a letter or something.
Yep, there werent even any legitimately interesting small ball 5 or stretch options either. This will at least be interesting.There was literally no other minimum C available that I could care about. this is fine. i guess.
I'm giving the signing a "meh" out of 10.
I will say I'm glad they didn't sign Kaminsky, just to avoid all the "lol white guy for racist Utah Mormons ten wives lulz" crapYep, there werent even any legitimately interesting small ball 5 or stretch options either. This will at least be interesting.
Less offense than Favs but more defense. Especially with Rudy off the floor.
Good observation. Perhaps that should give an indication of Wade’s opinion of him as a teammate.Wonder if Wade had anything to do with this signing? He played with Whiteside for 3 and a half years.
I don’t think that’s really the case, though. Favors is a fine player, but he’s not the same type of player as Rudy at all and he’s not really a rim protector. This was obscured in the past because we played with the super lineup that had a lot of defensive advantages. I always advocated Udoh because he’s the type of player we need, but people got so lost on Favors being an all-around better player that they lost sight of what we need from that spot, or at least assumed he was a better rim protector because he was all-around better.The Jazz are fully committed to a style and philosophy of play that is hugely benefited from rim protection. Evidently that is not changing. It is why the Favs pick up made a lot of sense to me but clearly Favs was not his old self and it was a bad move.
Zero… that’s the good news… he’s a minimum signing.Over/under on how many 2nd rounders is will take to get rid of him next year?
Nader already signed.I’d be okay with just Frankie at this point. You prefer Miller over Nader?
What can I help you with son?Jesus.
