Tbh, this is exactly a time that a free agent should be considering the Jazz. Donovan is locked up for at least 7 more years. Get your long-term contract now and you’ll be there for the rise of this young man to greatness.
Why aren't they in the NBA? I mean, Filipinos are already singing for our favorite 70s/80s bands, why not playing for our favorite basketball teams?
This could have something to do with it: http://globalnation.inquirer.net/102688/filipinos-second-shortest-in-southeast-asia
Yeah, but Donovan’s only got one year in. Is he respected? Sure. Does he have a year or two more to prove before he has that kind of weight? Yes.
Yes and no. It depends what your other options are, etc. a perfect fit for sure. Whether he would actually choose it as an NBA vet because a respectable rookie is recruiting him is another reality entirely.
Just wait until we draft a 7'2" Saudi who becomes our PGOTF and leads us to a championship. He will be laughing. And I will be laughing. And the Thriller will be laughing for your callous attitude toward Saudis and your lack of concern for Filipinos to spell their names correctly. And this 7'2" PG will be laughing most at a BYU physicist who must have misunderstood what an average is.
Agreed, it will hold more weight once he’s done it another season. Guys respect him, he’s still has to prove it wasn’t just a one year thing. Donovan’s impact on this organization will be greater than any previous player as his career continues.
That would be good, except their average height would still be 6'2.5". If you could add another Saudi that was 3'7" to that "big 3," then it would satisfy colton's 162 cm average, wherein he could just conflate them with Filipinos, and simply assume that it's as if we have three 5'4" Filipinos on the roster.Pair him with a 5'3'' Saudi and you have the Saudi version of the classic Manute Bol-Mugsy Bogues duo:
