Terrible camera angle, but he does seems to be shooting it much faster here than he has even in the in-game shots Ive seen him take.

I don't understand what you guys are arguing about. I don't think we are bringing him in to hit jump shots. Even if so I don't think it's any worse than Boozers and we all know how he could hit a mid range shot.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I'm going to wait to see him in person, but it looks like there's some tools to work with. Jazz do have one of the best player development staffs in the game. He just needs to be better than Cooley and Evans from last year to get minutes and contribute. If he contributes to the team on and off the floor like Ingles does, then it's a slam dunk. Jingles was not good to start the season and progressively improved as the year was winding down. Hoping for that kind of growth from all the Jazz players - even the "old" ones.

If we can have the option of a stretch 4, off the bench of course, we just have more options. We're bringing him in for depth AND options.

The guy rates pretty good on defense. Not great/elite like Favors/Goberz. And he's gotten into a fight before, so we know he can be testy. I like the signing.

Still like The Kraken. Thought that was a clever play on his previous nickname. Plus it sounds menacing.

I can work with this.

Finally, after 10 years of going through them, we finally have a replacement for:

When you hear Dalamon talk about any OK European player you think they are going to be a NBA All-Star.

Lol. I've noticed this.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

We are very deep all of a sudden. We might be a top team in the west in a couple years

 

[Coach Ellis]

So, in Europe they call him "The Octopus".

I think that sounds like a soft, squishy marine animal... And while the octopus is admittedly a pretty badass animal, I think we can do better.

How about...

The Kraken?!

Would rep if I could. Great nickname.
