The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

I have a problem with Thanasis and Cody being on the list, though. Neither is playing in the NBA right now, nor are they NBA players.

Both only made it to the league due to nepotism, unlike most of the people on the list.
 
I had no idea about all these siblings playing in the NBA. I'm actually quite shocked by how many there are

Don't understand why Jazz want to trade Kessler
He fits the rebuild timeline. He is playing very well. Every team needs a jumbo center.
At worst he can be a very good backup center if Jazz draft a potential starting center in next couple years

I think the main reasoning is that it is hard to tank with Kessler as he single-handedly raises the defensive floor of the Jazz. If you can get appropriate value for him (which you probably can't) it might make sense to deal him to maximize your lottery chances.

I don't think we should do that, but that is the reasoning. Kessler will probably lead to more wins this season than any other player on the roster.

I don't think it's that surprising. A lot of this is genetics at play and if one sibling worked out there is a decent shot the other one will at least be serviceable, and at the very very least be a decent athlete. Look at the similarities in the Manning brothers in the NFL.

The scouts find something they think works in their prediction models they tend to do group think in these things. I read somewhere having a father who played in the NBA is best indicator for success.

And it likely is, because it not only means you pass along good genes, but you can also most likely provide the kid with top of the line development, coaching, conditioning, etc. Things most kids don't necessarily get, even if they have potential.
