Damian Jones checked into the game with 2:31 left in the third quarter....

.... and that’s about how long it took to realize that Udoka Azubuike might have just lost his job as backup to Walker Kessler.

Analysis: With huge debuts from Juan Toscano-Anderson and Damian Jones, Jazz lose to Memphis but never give up

The Jazz lost to Memphis on Wednesday night and it might have been their most impressive performance of the season.

I gotta say, I like what I saw...

Shoot, I figured he lost his backup spot the moment the news came out we were getting Jones. I didn’t need to see him play to know he’s much better

I kind of wish I watched now. I didn't even think about the new guys playing until I saw we were down huge and didn't care to watch.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Dude peaked in his very first game when he entered in garbage time and got a big dunk.

 

[framer]

I'm fine if we keep him as a third center. I'm hoping we find someone better in the off-season (like Naz.)

Will be interesting to see where Hardy ends up with his philosophy as a backup center. Does he stay with someone similar to Kessler (primarily drop, good rebounding center) so he doesn't have to run multiple defensive schemes, or does he value the ability to do something different, such as a switchable center who may not be as productive a rebounder (such as Jones).

no nba roster that isn't already a contender needs more than one true center on the roster, and one semi pro back up. but having bunch of 7 foot tall forwards that can play all over the front court should be the goal.
I could see us never adding any legit 5 other than for injury replacement purposes, but good luck finding another Kessler without major sacrifices.

I hear Gobert could be available

The guy moves well, sets picks and has the capability to wreck people.

I watched some of his highlights and he made some good passes as he keeps his head up on both offense and defense, sees what is going on, and is reactive.

He's raw offensively but he gets easy garbage points and is disruptive.

Before playing for the Lakers he had some decent seasons. He's a capable backup center.

 

[Udidthizz]

His per 36 numbers for the Jazz (based on 8 minutes played):
31.5pts/9rb/9blocks. He's an all-star. Oh, and 13.5 fouls.

 

[cctrackstar]

Is Azibuke still on the team?



i'm actually sad, i like him, but he hasn't done anything.

You want to crown him, then crown him
