Jazz PR: "Due to a flight cancellation, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson WILL NOT be at today's workout."

Double ****.

We have Gobert.
It don't matter. Gobert will take care of it

Yeah, Gobert will be playing 48 minutes every game. Wait, why are we drafting a backup big?

Haha..

Hell no you don't do that. We already know Favor's floor and it is much higher than anyone in this draft outside of Towns, maybe. His ceiling still isn't established. Favors>>>>>>Bledsoe as well, because he is a rarer commodity on a better contract. We just now have some players getting ready to play pro ball, lets not swap them out and restart the treadmill. We have a chance at one of the best defensive front courts of all time, especially if we sit tight and add Turner or WCS (who I think drops) and we got it for relatively cheap for the next few years. You don't trade that for a "might be."

Solid post...... Even though watching porz work out makes me hard

 

[fishonjazz]

With Gobert and Favors sitting?

Of the bench yes. I am quite sure that favors and Gobert would start over Frank

1280 is loving Sam Decker as the Jazz pick. I don't get the Decker love. He is a descent shooter, but not a tremendous shooter. He doesn't have the athletic ability of Oubre nor does he have the length for his position. I'm hoping we avoid the Wisconsin players. The Jazz are hanging their hat on being the best at player development. Let's draft a tremendous athlete with huge upside and teach him how to play NBA ball. I'm hoping for Turner or Oubre, but both may be gone at 12.

Not if Kaminsky have to chase the likes of Ryan Anderson on the perimeter bombing away 3's.... Gobert can't help him there.

Meh.
Play a 3-2 zone. The nba won't know what hit them. (That's my favorite defense to play in nba 2k video games btw)

You can actually rotate and mix and match players in the nba. It's not even against the rules either

Double ****.

Sounds like some BS to me... I would have really wanted him in. I want to see how broke his shot is.

This ain't the 50s.... find a different flight damnit

Unlikely.... RHJ would want every opportunity to climb the board wouldn't he?

. Wait, why are we drafting a backup big?

Whatever we draft at 12 will be a backup.
We need a backup big more than a backup wing or pg.
We don't even have a center on the roster coming off the bench right now.

Also, the jazz will probably just draft bpa regardless of position..... Which the jazz may feel Frank is depending on how the teams ahead of them draft

He has position flexibility and could be a good enough shooter. I know its just typical white on white comp but I think he's Chandler Parsons with a little more length.
