Daniel Orton

[Stifle Tower]

Whiteside was a worthless piece of trash for a couple of years before resurrecting his career. Not saying Orton = Hassan. But I do think a player can mature, turn his game around and at least be a serviceable backup. What's the risk? Jazz have to cut Millsap or Johnson. Big deal; those two are just taking up roster space.

Looks better than Pleiss.

So do I and I'm a 5'10 fat guy.

Name me one d-league player who has helped his own team win an NBA championship.

Foreign fan because Jazz got one of your countrymen?

Nope, keep shooting blanks...in all ways.

So do I. I really do. But after basically every highlight in that video (again, against a bunch of scrubs as if we're supposed to be impressed), Orton postured as if he's some tremendous stud/badass. I find that **** very annoying. Obviously.

Don't get me wrong. I'd probably sign him because he does look like he'd be able to contribute as a backup. That said, his numbers really aren't that impressive for d-league. Sort of raises my eyebrows some. Also, Peeks, please expand upon why you dislike this dude so much.

Last might in the DLeague Orton 12 points 6 rebounds 2 blocks +12 on the floor. Pleiss 8 points 9 board 2 blocks -11 on the floor and Michael Stockton 7 points 7 assists and +11 on the floor. Orton's teammages include Elliot Williams and Ronnie Brewer.

Pleiss got recalled from the DLeague this afternoon so look out championship.

No, the point is to win a championship. Winning a couple of more games over the span of a season means absolutely nothing for the Jazz.

And if that couple of games means home court advantage?
