Watching Elson last night reminded me of the Big Dog.
They both hit the open jumper, grab boards, play some D. Comparable stats when Elson plays the same amount of minutes.
I hope Elson can continue this and be this teams Carr!
 
Elson is nothing like Carr. He isn't a third of a player Carr was either. Pretty bad comparison. Terrible, in fact.

How is that a terrible comparison? He compared Carr's ability to do the dirty work and play aggressive to Elson's which is a valid comparison. Not to mention the fact Carr was a journeyman, as is Elson.
 
Do you people who think that Elson compares the the Big Dawg even remember how good he was. He was the nastiness during the finals run. Elson is not close to being as good of player as Carr. Great jumper though.
 
Elson can hit the jumper, plays decent D, and shows effort, but he's not Carr.

If you recall, Carr was a good low post player, and when Malone had to sit out a stretch (due to foul trouble, ejection or suspension), Carr could pick right up for him. There was some drop off, but over the short term, Carr could truly replace Malone.

I'd hate to see a scenario where the Jazz were relying on Elson to be the primary low post threat or focal point of the offense, so I can't agree with a full Carr comparison.
 
Carr finished a lot of games and was a legit offensive option.

When Elson starts finishing games you know we're in trouble.
