About Sabonis:
-he's a rotational guy and he can start in some situations
-has continue to work on his 3p shooting, thinks he can extend his range to NBA 3 in time
-he's very strong, can be even stronger, maybe a bit leaner(body-fat wise)
-how much stock do we put on his improvement between year 1 and year 2 - "A LOT. Shows he's been working hard"
-NBA skill - good passing big man, he plays naturally hard, not everybody does. Quin always looking for passers and players who compete and play hard all the time.
-did pretty well with his conditioning.

Wiltjer will be the worst defensive player in the league.

Kanter

 

[MVP]

Jazz fans would absolutely love Sabonis. That kid takes no off plays during the game. May not have the highest ceiling, but you know what you will get. Hard working rebounding machine who can pass and will do anything for the team to win.

 

[Diamond77]

I just read that Furkan Korkmaz is flying to USA to workout with several NBA teams. Are the Jazz among these teams?

 

[RandyForRubio]

I don't think Sabonis can play with Lyles tho. And I like Lyles more.

 

[RandyForRubio]

Can you imagine if Lyles had stayed at Kentucky? Top 5 pick.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I don't want Sabonis... still hate his dad.

 

[mellow]

So I thought they would have stopped with the no-names by now.

So I thought they would have stopped with the no-names by now.

When they do no names I think they should reuse the same pictures and see if people catch it... Like the onion does.

 

[Hekate]

I don't want Sabonis... still hate his dad.

Why?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Why?

Because he beat the Jazz and was one of those guys you just loved to hate.

If he was on our team I'm sure I would have loved him.

I'm totally being sarcastic though... I don't like him much because I don't see a great fit for him on our team. I don't know how to project him as a player... If he can shoot the three that changes things.

Apparently that is what he has been doing in workouts. His shooting improved considerably during his time at Gonzaga. I think he will be able to shoot the 3 and one of the best rebounders there is.
