You don’t draft him for his post ability- you draft him to do what Rudy does.How does he get those post ups without a time machine?
we are going to run the offense through the post....for a rookie?

Right. Did you see the post I was replying to in regards to his post play?You don’t draft him for his post ability- you draft him to do what Rudy does.
You forget that we run the sex machine offense and this kid lacks feel and passing ability... not even Veteran Ed could figure out how to not be a major **** up in the offense. Every rookie needs time to figure out the play book.This was the year to draft a four year guy who can step right in and be better than the guy he replaced. That’s exactly what the jazz did. Udoka should have been a lottery pick.
i'd bet Ed Davis would all of sudden becomes a serviceable backup the moment we insert someone like Bey or Woodard into the lineup, because they don't actually look to their center to bail them out on defense on almost every damn possession.Did the Jazz miss the league memo on 3&D wings or something?
The cupboard is bare, we don't even have a pick next year. Take some wings with some upside. All we need is shooters at the corners and dudes who can switch and hold their own on defense,
Could have come away from tonight with Woodard and Bey, no sure thing both make it. But insert either one into the lineup and tell then to play defense and shoot open threes? I think they'd be plenty capable. That is what the team needs.
Plenty of backup big men out there. Hell, go all in on Baynes. Great backup C who actually gives you some different lineup looks.
I just imagine the war rooms of teams around the league reacting when they see what the Knicks did with the pick we gave them, then 10 minutes later we draft a player exactly like our current starting center except 10x worse. And that dude already has a tough time showing his full value in playoff series. Meanwhile the Jazz will start a tiny starting backcourt. With their small and/or unathletic wings and have more massive disadvantages matchup wise once the playoffs role around.
Or the memo on passing bigs that can switch on the perimeter like Tillman? If you want to go with a big that’s fine... get one that gives you a change up or has some upside... this was a terrible pick.Did the Jazz miss the league memo on 3&D wings or something?

Ten years ago. For a team without a franchise player at center.This was the year to draft a four year guy who can step right in and be better than the guy he replaced. That’s exactly what the jazz did. Udoka should have been a lottery pick.

It wasn’t open dialogue.
Honestly, I think part of the problem is that a lot of you guys are seeing a TB clone. You need to get away from that kind of thinking.I will gain a little respect for the decision if Udoka is in the rotation to start the season and they actually keep him in there sink or swim... it would show actual invest beyond just picking the kid. BUTTTTT we kinda know that Quin won’t like it if it costs us some games and if Ed plays ****** but not worst center in the league ****** then Udoka will have to put up like 60 in a g league game to take the spot from him. Hopefully we wait until after the trade deadline to install him as the backup and then we will have no choice... DL can throw up his hands... what am I supposed to do?
I love that we are all assuming he will come in a and immediately be a rotation piece. Took us three years to make TB borderline playable.
The guy behind this channel puts together what are in my opinion some of the best video draft prospect breakdowns.
Dudes not just a dunker, but a legit post game/threat. The #'s are there for context.
They better NOT! I want him back but if he demands supermax I'd rather us trade him.Over. But you could throw out that over/under about anybody they might have drafted. Bradley would play over 10.5 minutes and Udoka is twice the player, in that role, Bradley is.
Also, I haven’t been on JF- what is the feeling here? Must be that the Jazz are definitely signing Rudy to the Supermax, right?
Pretty sure tonight was our last chance to upgrade our wings. No valuable wings are gonna be available in FA or wanting to sign with us even if there is one.Well they better figure out a zone cuz he gonna get blown by on the perimeter... better upgrade the wings to help.
Boban could have been had in a trade... he is similarly effective imo.Honestly, I think part of the problem is that a lot of you guys are seeing a TB clone. You need to get away from that kind of thinking.
Bradley was a one year guy who didn’t even start on his college team. He also just wasn’t very good. He had a 24 inch vertical. He was flabby, he lumbered, he played below the rim.
this dude is the antithesis of TB. He played four years. He was productive, all time leader in FG%. 37 inch standing vertical. He’s chiseled, he plays above the rim. He’s experienced.
It took TB three years because he was inexperienced and just not very good at basketball. Udoka is experienced and legitimately good.
the jazz drafted a physical freak of nature who also produced at a high level.
TB was a physical retard who couldn’t even start on his college team.
