Jazz sign Hassan Whiteside

Like Whiteside is actually good at scoring against small opponets, right? I think maybe that's the Jazz thought process. Cuz Favors health robbed him of above the rim play to punish small lineups like he use to have. Whiteside still has that?

I don't think it will be long before Doke can eat 6'8" fools for breakfast. His hands are pretty damn soft and he goes through guys rather than around them. I wonder if part of point of Whitesde was to mentor Doke on that side of the ball as well as fill time for Rudy.

Can't wait to see our "big" lineup.
Ingles
Paschall
Dok
Whiteside
Gobert
We get all the rebounds
 
Dok with 19 big ones last night and three blocks. Gotta say this signing caught me off guard (as it did Dok apparently). The article I read said Wade played a hand in this, and I believe it. At the Vet minimum it's kind of like stumbling onto a 59 Les Paul in the Pawn Shop for $250, I mean who wouldn't snap it up? I mean even with apparent issues like Whiteside. Guy was a real impact player at one point and the case could be made that Portland was going better with Whiteside when Nurkic was injured than when he returned a mere couple years ago. He's apparently a bit of a headcase and this thing could go south, but for the price tag definitely worth the risk IMO!

If Hassan is just one year chances are good they keep Udoka

Why not occasionally employ a double low post offense? It would throw a wrinkle at teams playing small ball and force them to make adjustments. It would also allow some interesting zone type defenses.
