Memo joins Randy Rigby at 5pm on 1280, Tune In!

And do we really want someone who mostly shot threes teaching our big guys how to play?

'This is very unfair to Okur. He rebounded, defended the post player well, and had some post-up game as well as his jump shot. He was not a rim protector, but was a well-rounded player.
 
Enes should be mentored by smart people. Memo is fine. Malone would bring toughness emphasis to him. He should take lessons from the smartest players possible to learn how to read the game and dive into the flow naturally.
 
Desperate attempt to get Kanter in gear? Maybe. Though the team does like him a lot. He isn't much in a radio interview, lots of pre prepared answers. And do we really want someone who mostly shot threes teaching our big guys how to play? I know, different system and stretch bigs are popular these days. If nothing else he can help Kanter develop a decent game without a lot of lift involved in it.

if we want kanter and favors to play together and succeed, one of them is going to have to show some range and be a threat from outside. a necessary evil.
 
So is the whole Kanter/Favors working out with Malone thing over?

I'd like to know as well. I felt Favors post game improved after working with Malone for a short period. Have they discontinued the program?
 
I just remember comment after comment (admittedly either here or on the radio) taking about how slow Memo was on his feet, no lateral quickness, no lift. I do admit that he did show some post game once in a while, but he was definitely not a prototypical Jazz big. Which may not even matter any more.
 
What was frustrating about and probably for, Memo, was that he was playing the best ball of his career just before his injury. He probably shouldn't have played that day; he already was injured. I blame the trainer for it; he should've shut Memo down. Who knows how much longer he wouldn't played if he didn't suffer that final injury.

I was there (in Denver) when he finally tore the Achilles. It was brutal. I'm pretty sure everyone on the bench knew that it was pretty dicey to play him at that point.
 
This is a huge year in Kanters career. I hope he comes out strong, and finally shows us hes taken a step.
