[silesian]

Median points for all Celtics in history is 239. Median rebounds is 81. Each team has a lot of one-year scrubs. We just notice the Jazz and miss the others.

Yeah, we aren't past the scrub level yet. Next up are John Amaechi, Kyrylo Fesenko, and Curtis Borchardt.

Go to any NBA team, find their 29th best center over the last 40 years. I bet you don't find much difference from Ike Austin.

I can accept that. However we are talking the rookie Ike Austin pre stint in Europe, not the Ike Austin who won MIP and got a big contract.

And for those religiously following the thread, we are now caught up to Gobert's actual position in Jazz Center History. In order to pass John freakin' Amaechi, Gobert needs a combination of points, rebounds, blocks, steals, and assists to total more than 47 in the next few games.

And, Ladies and Gentlemen, with that entry Rudy Gobert has contributed more than half of the players who have ever suited up for the Utah Jazz at center. Rudy Gobert is above the mean. As I mentioned before, this is good for Rudy, but man, what a load of stiffs we have had at center. . .

First, Thank you for this thread. Very nice work.

Second, a very small technicality. It's median, not mean.

You are correct.

Fair enough. But you are comparing Austin to Boston's ~34 year old washed up Jason Collins in 2012, averaging < 1.6 rpg and 1.2 ppg -- Boston's roughly median career center.

This is a fun thread. Thanks for creating and maintaining.

He's in the hole, with Curtis Borchardt on deck, and Jon Amaechi up to bat. Curtis and Fes are really close together though and it is possible that Gobert could pass both in the same game.

Who is going to start the "Dante Exum, countdown to the greatest Jazz PG of all time" thread?
