Draft Cole Aldrich.....

[Gyp Rosetti]

Steve Zahn in the remake of Deliverance?

Aldrich=Bryant Reeves, Greg Ostertag, and all those other wonderful white guys who lit up the NBA in their careers.

I think your position on Aldrich has been established already. Unfounded and ridiculous, but established.

 

[NUMBERICA]

More skilled Joel Przybilla with less size. If the Jazz could re-sign Boozer, I'd have little issue with drafting Aldrich.

 

[TheMulletMutilator]

You better go out and enjoy Ostertag... I mean Aldrich then.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Actually, I don't think Aldrich had all that bad a body fat percentage. Maybe I am remembering incorrectly. It was his speed and athleticism, or lack thereof, that puts me off wanting to draft him.

 

[1-Jazzfan]

I think Aldrich seems a lot more athletic than Ostertag did. I'm sure most of you have seen this video of him against Washington, and it seems like the announcers are Aldrich Homers, but I think he looked OK. ALL-STAR, maybe not, but decent. I think the highlights in that one game for Aldrich are more than the highlights for Tags whole NBA Career.

Uh...I don't know if I'd call Bobby Knight a homer of anything.

Um, it's not that hard to look up. Aldrich measured out at 8.5% fat.

I didn't think the OP deserved the little time it took to find it.

EDIT:

And I try to avoid making a big deal of highlight videos. The one 1-Jazzfan provided really showed Aldrich well. It does make me feel a little better if the Jazz decide to go that route, although his jump shot form looks ridiculous to me.

 

[TheMulletMutilator]

You guys want another big white bench player.... It's no wonder we can't beat the Lakers. Aldrich will sure solve that problem.....

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Aldrich would be a good pick at 9 if Monroe and Udoh are both gone, but other than that I dont want him. I think he is being underrated by most due to the fact he is white.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

I like Udoh better than Aldrich. I still think I like Monroe better than Aldrich. I'm not sure I like any other big that may be available at 9. I don't think ANY of them helps the Jazz beat the lakers next year, not even Favors or Cousins helps with that.
