Unless golden state is better than Detroit though. In that case I think the Detroit picks would be better than the warriors picks.

Yep. I think last year his not so good play was more about him never getting in a great rhythm with missing games and nagging injuries and constantly changing lineups and rotation and hardcore tanking to the worst record in the league than it was about his teammates.

Wow, his thin skin sure has been hitting the tanning bed hard apparently

That's kind of my point. There are other dudes who are so big they can't be moved who aren't in the NBA because of other glaring weaknesses.

Looking at colliers stats compared to his rookie season and he is putting up pretty great numbers in the small sample size. His shooting efficiency is great but very low volume. Assists are up. Turnovers down (slightly). Scoring up. Minutes are basically identical. Points last year at...

Ah, someone on my ignore list posted it.

Did someone call him a bottom 10 defender in the league since this thread was resurrected?

Ya I got some flashes of hope in pre season and quite a few in summer league. He is slowly running out of time to show what he can do. G league might help him get the confidence needed to show us some more flashes in actually NBA games

Dang. Dude can dunk

I think we mostly agree. We both think he should be playing in the g league right now.

As well a bunch of other big dudes who currently aren't playing in the NBA probably

I personally think he mostly sucks and don't even like him despite him doing a couple of things well

Ya those would be some things that I see that are encouraging which is a nice, but a long way from making him a player that I love.

On the other hand, he is fat and slow so the thread title is accurate. Also, statistically: 39% from the field (I would guess that is dead last in the NBA for 7 foot centers). 16% from three lol. Doesn't get to the line but when he does only makes 63%. Grand total of an eFG of 41.4% which is...

On the other hand, Lauri has been an all star before and won the most improved player before with those teammates. I think he was injured a lot last season and the jazz were playing to lose. He also may have improved as well regardless of teammates. Still a good point you make though.
