Gobert should start

When did Kanter become an above-average-starter-quality big? None of our bigs right now qualify for that.

I think he meant above average........ starting quality.

In other words, they are all starting quality players

And are above average as well.

But not starters that are above average of other starters. (Just above average of all players, starters and bench players combined)
 
Here is a Quin question relevant to this thread...is his philosophy the same as Sloan and Corbin, in that you cannot lose your starting job to injury? So if Gobert just lights it up, and is rising among the elite centers of the league as a starter, does he immediately get relegated to the bench in favor of Kanter due to the injury anmesty clause or whatever?

When do you plan to watch a game again? I'll try to get you an answer by then. Happy to help and contribute around here.

Do you think the Jazz know what they have Rudy Gobert? It sounds like a dumb question, but I have to wonder. The Jazz have always like to play defensively soft players with an offensive game over better defenders. I could see them matching on Kanter and just leaving Rudy on the bench for a few years. Which is a mistake imo.


Part of me still doesn't trust the Jazz even though a new regime is here now.

Rudy is the elite rim protector we all hoped Favors would be. As crazy as it sounds, I believe Rudy is even better than the best case scenario most of us imagined with Favors. And Favors is no slouch himself. Once Utah has some decent guards, this team is going to run amok all over the league. Better lock up your daughters type ish. So yeah, Utah knows.:cool:

Yep. I thought rudy was going to be awesome, but never thought this good. He is amazing. If he and favors can play together, we have a very solid 3-5 in the starting lineup.

I remember people mocking me in the comments when I first started the "gobert's rise to be the greatest Jazz center of all time" thread last year. Not many doubters now.

The way he mimics Karl Malone with his free throw routine is encouraging. When he starts speaking in the third person we will know that he has truly arrived.

Ha ha . I was going to add that I guess there will be some that undervalue him and think he should be moved so kanter can play until he becomes Karl Malone. The advanced metrics say that Favors is a top 20-25 big. If he ever brings the hunger daily he is easily a top 15 big.

Favs is 4th in the league in PER amongst PFs... two guys in front of him are role players who's PER would dip if they were to get extended minutes. He is ahead of Aldridge, Griffin, Dirk, etc. He has been ballin. He's also a two way player.

From now on if anyone on Jazzfanz calls Hayward or Favors a role player or average I will consider you a basketball tard... I'd encourage others to follow suit.

Favors is most definitely better than the average big in the league.

So is rudy and enes imo.

I figure there are 14-15 players on a roster. Therefore the average would be the 7th best player on any given team.

I think rudy, derrick, and enes are all better than the 7th best player on most teams
