Ante Tomic update
- Thread starter Jazz4ever
- Start date
well, he may come from the bench, but he cant defend yao or duncan like memo did. and he cant make this 3pointer clutch shots like memo. I wanna be optimistic and say he may contirbute off the bench but i dont have too much hopes about him.
Real madrid, played with the worst team in last 8 in euroleague, they wouldnt beat any other team. They arent very good this year, they have interior problems in the club.But Tomic is doing pretty well, though i doubt he will play like that in nba.
Well, we really don't have to worry about Yao and Duncan in the years to come now do we?
Memo isn't making any clutch shots these days either. It's been a long time since Memo was "money".
Right now Tomic is a better option than Memo Okur. Although, Tomic is a horrible help
defender, he's solid on his man in this post. There are good and bad qualities about both players. Right now Tomic is healthy, Okur is not.

I've only seen Tomic's last game that he played. From what I saw, he is a pretty good scorer, has a nice touch around the rim. Showed some nice post moves as well, pretty good screener and good at knowing what his role is. Smart player on offense.
He might be one of the worst help defenders I've ever seen. Part of this is because he's incredibly slow and very weak and gets blocked out by defenders easily, the other part is because he just doesn't seem to recognize or know what to do when somebody drives the lane. Uses his length more than technique to get rebounds, which I'm not a big fan of. I saw him get good position on his man maybe 3-4 times.
Tomic is very skinny and very weak, and while he has good skills he isn't even strong enough to physically compete in Europe. I don't know how he'll ever be strong enough to compete over here.

i gave them as big man example, there will be new yao , fes im sure. But i dont know about Tomic, i cant really feel comfortable without seeing him play. He looks like a perfect european player but not good enough for nba. We will see, i hope im wrong
haha i told fes unintentionally , my apologies, i ment duncan
maybe fes is the first big man i can think of

KoC has this all figured out. Memo plays out his contract next year, we sign Tomic to replace him and use him off the bench. I doubt Memo retires this off season, although I don't see him contributing much next season. With his contract, he'll try to come back...

Ok stop the argument about a buyout. The jazz can only give 500k towards a buyout. Beyond that it is the responsibility of the player to pay. If tomic wants to come over he will.

Same thing happened with Raul. He had to come up with the balance on a buyout and basically played for free his first season (in terms of the money he made personally). I don't think Tomic will be in a Jazz uniform next season.

Now that we have Favors, I doubt getting Tomic is much of a priority for KoC anyway. He can always resign Elson or Fesenko. We'll be seeing Big Al and Millsap next year, with HOPEFULLY Favors getting much more PT, maybe even starting... And HOPEFULLY Memo can get in some PT next year too; not throwing him under the bus at all. I just don't see him as a major contributor; HOPE I'm wrong 'cause I do like his game!
he told he will play 2-3 more yrs, i hope he stays but not more than 5 million p/yr
