What's new

Sabonis: Convince me he won't be a huge liability on defense like Fat Al, Love, Boozer and Okafur.

But didn't he have a big game vs. Utah in the NCAA Tournament?

Who the **** cares how he played vs Chris Reyes? Come on now. Yeah, he played balls out vs Utah. Hats off to him. But going up vs a gassed Poeltl and Chris Reyes...I wouldn't put too much stock in that game.

Gassed or not Poetl is supposed to be taken before him in the first round.
 
Not sure anymore on players like Sabonis.
Look at Warrior-Cav series
Bogut and Love can't stay on floor very long.
It's Green and Thompson size players that are having success
League is now going small, quick, strong, versatile
Jazz need to look for Draymond Green type PFs and Cs

Draymond is Draymond because he has high basketball IQ. Look at Derrick Williams, hit his 3 pt shot at 55% for Arizona, 7'1" wingspan, could jump out of the building. Seemingly the perfect modern NBA PF. Busted at #2.
 
He's got the pedigree and motor to be a very good player. Remember how truly awful our offense looked without Hayward in the game? Well, Sabonis is a guy you could throw the ball to and he could create something in the post. I disagree with Locke about him not getting better, he had a monster tournament. Look at this gawdy stat line vs Syracuse to close out the year.

Yeah, that is ridiculous. He was getting better all year long at Gonzaga. Showed improved post moves, outside shooting, and passing abilities and again he is still younger than Skal.
