Many. Most like him and understand he'd take a number of years to develop (if he ever does) and would do much of that overseas.

Porter is nothing like Thompson or Curry.
Thompson is making Karasev's stock rise if anything.

Watching Thompson makes me want Karasev even more. So yeah, I'm sure Karasev's stock is rising.
I think Karasev is more Bellineli than Thompson though.

So many people liking Olynyk. Jeff whithey is so much better. He probably won't be a star, but he is going to be good. He will be an excellent third big. He will make our defense a lot better. Olynyks defense is no where near Whitheys. Do we really want another big who doesn't play D? Good grief. Its like Jazz fans never learn their lessons.

What does Whithey bring to the table that Favors doesn't though? Can you play Whithey alongside Favors? Is Olynyk that bad at defense?
*I don't really want Olynyk though.

Reped. Agree completely. I'm sick of the all offense no defense teams we are used to seeing. Always drove me nuts watching close games late in the 4th and we can't stop anything. It was maddening at times.
How 'bout we get the big kiwi at 21 if he's there.

I am not an olynyk fan. don't like the motor. personally I would take dieng over both but I would bet dieng will play in okc next year. Adams has a lot more upside. Kansas centers always give me the hebejebes. Gobert all you here is 7-9 wing span. I always worry about players like that that are expected to play basketball because they are tall.

1. We need another big, unless you want to sign Al
2. Having two Favors would not be a bad thing. What if Favors goes down with an injury? I get you don't want to have all the same players, but we have Kanter who compliments Favors. So its either another defensive big, or a scoring big who doesn't play D. Just give me the defensive big please. Ill find points some other way. I'm so tired of watching weak bigs.
3. Whithey isn't incapable of scoring. 14ppg , 58% fg, 71% ft
4. 4 blocks a game compared to Olynyks 1. That's weak.
It would be nice to have a shooter on the floor like Karasev though. He's a decent pick at 21 too.
The league is trending towards spacing being extremely important. Can you really afford to play two guys who can't score outside of the paint, and who aren't even great scorers within the paint, at the same time?
Also, Whithey getting over-powered in the NBA is a concern.
