Ersan Ilyasova to sign with Jazz per Jordan Schultz

I'm surprised you guys know so much about Ersan already. This fanbase is something else minus a few losers.
He will be the third Turkish player wearing the Utah Jazz uniform. You know who should be the 4th? Alperen Sengun, a projected late 1st/early 2nd round pick in mock drafts. He could be a ridiculous steal for Utah.

Anyway.. True, no one is sure about Ersan's actual age, there are only conflicting reports. It all stem backs to Ersan killing the junior competition in Turkey. He was dunking all over kids at the age of 12. To me it was the refuge of whiny little envious kids and their parents.

He's a really likable person. He won't disturb the team chemistry at all, and should only threaten the PT of the 9th guy in the rotation. Niang, NORMALLY.
What Utah lacks most is rebounding especially against five-out teams.. and boom, here comes Ersan. So this is slightly suspicious to me.
I always thought of him being the almost perfect 4 in Q's system because dude can rebound, shoot threes and do the dirty work.

If you’re trying to stay up, though, it gets called as blocking, since you’ll have to move your feet to stay up.

All charges are basically flops imo. The foul should be the contact... not the reaction to the contact. Have seen Ingles take the contact in the chest and then back pedal instead of fall and its called a block. I think its basically a BS rule the way it is currently called.

Not saying this to put him down... its a smart play. I never take charges in pickup ball but probably get one a game when I play with the same group in leagues. All of them are basically a little bit of an act for the officials.

I pushed back against that narrative then, and I'll continue to do so now. Which rookies should Sloan have played more in order to develop? Who were these "reasonably good rookies" who didn't get playing time, of which you speak? I bet I could name more rookies that he DID play to develop, than you can name ones who had talent that he should have played more to develop.

And Deron got a TON of playing time after about the first month, ie after he knew the offensive and defensive schemes.

While he played some, I think Sloan mismanaged him.

Not 100% sure what this means, if he means he’ll be physically ready to play sooner rather than later, or if it means he’ll be getting minutes sooner. Wonder if the latter because he’s talking about chemistry.

Well said and very true. NBA coaches in general don't like to play rookies and it is for a good reason. The amount they play is based upon being a phenom in some rare cases but mostly on the bench depth of the team that drafted you.

It means Quin has an Ersan-boner and can’t wait to show it off.
