I'd flip out at any duo of Parker, Harrison and Wiggins. Won't happen but holy hell. Add them to what we have building? It stretches into a full playoff rotation if they all pan out to some extent.
Lol @ Pau
Gobert looks more promising than Favors or Kanter ever did.
Gotta love when a big WANTS to play big. Dude likes dunking on people. Seems to want to hurt you while doing it if you contest.
My favorite highlight might be at 0:24. Gobert makes three jumps in 2 seconds--one to tip the ball off the board at an angle, a second to go and catch it, and a third to dunk the ball--all in heavy traffic. That shows a lot of confidence and aggressiveness. It's not often you'll see a 7'2" make that kind of sequence. TBH, it's rare to see anyone over 6'10" do that.
Remember when before the draft we heard the Jazz FO talk about an international player that many teams were "sleeping on." Kudos to the Jazz international scouting - and I give a HUGE part of this credit to Lindsey as well. IIRC, he let the international scout have an entire day during their scouting/pre-draft meetings to talk about the non-US players. And then they end up trading up/buying picks to get a couple of them (Gobert and Neto). I definitely think Gobert should get the PT over Biedrins. This is similar to Kanter's role last season. It shouldn't be too hard to find Gobert 10 mins/per.[size/HUGE] fixed [/size];682589 said:How can he NOT be the steal of the draft? #27?!?! pleeeeeze.
Unfortunately if they all pan out the Jazz won't be able to re-sign all of them. That is why when guys start talking $12 million for Hayward I just cringe.
Drafting good player is only the first step, you have to be financial smart.
I am really excited about Gobert. I was more excited about him than Burke when we drafted him because he is big and his draft status was as high as 14 and the Jazz got him at 27. I don't want to worry but if the Jazz 3 big man blow up, then teams will raiding our cupboards.
I had a nightmare that in two years the Lakers are going to be rebuilding...Kobe, Nash will be retired and Gasol might be gone. They will have a ton of cap space to sign a couple big FAs...... then I woke up in a sweat... not knowing the ending to my nightmare but anyone could imagine how it ends..I %^$&#Q&@^&* hate the the Lakers.

I get the feeling Denver's going to really regret selling this one off.
