Okur Update

You guys do remember that Okur is terrible, right?

+1.

Ogur is garbage and he couldn't come back late enough. Especially since the guy will be taking minutes away from either Fes or Franny Elson.

Hopefully he makes a come back soon. We could really use him.

Okur is as good if not better than Millsap and also has height. He also would open the floor for AJ instead of crowding the paint like Millsap.

If he is the same Okur from before. If he is a step slower or has a hard time getting back into a rhythm that is a different story though.

Get into kick butt shape Memo.

.....yeah, right. He's through, finished, kaput! The opposition, which always attacks the weakest link on the floor, will be pounding Memo into oblivion, which means he will become a human highlight dunked on dummy!

 

[candrew]

If he comes back and can make a contribution great; but I expect absolutely nothing from Memo

Slow white guys on the wrong side of 30 usually don't come back strong from any type of injury related to their mobility.

Okur's ability to stretch the floor is crucial for Utah and it creates match-up nightmares for opposing defenses. Not that he doesn't come with a few negatives, but anybody wanting Okur out of the line-up in favor of a journyman like Ellefson or a still unproved Fesenko is a bafoon.

Okur's role will be off the bench to pull out the other teams defense so that Sap or Al have more room to operate inside. If the defense collapses to double team our post player Okur is there to drop a three on them. I just hate saying that we're paying a role player 11 mil.

Lol. So we're not allowed to criticize NBA players now unless we are better than them?

Yeah, but that's your worthless opinion lol.
You can call Okur terrible all you want.....
But the fact is, he's one of the best shooters for his size in the entire world.
He's not the greatest defender, but he probably defended Yao better than I'd ever seen a big guy guard him a few years ago.

Players don't want to get hurt, and I'm sure that's why certain players don't go crazy on defense every night.
Most of those players only last 10 years in the league, AKA Jerry Sloan, and Matt Harpring.

Memo came into the league very late, and is already into his 30's.
I expect him to come off the bench, and bring a hell of a lot of depth.

Okur is a big part of the Jazz. He can shoot the lights out, rebounds pretty well when not overused and if he recovers fully he will be better off playing with Jefferson then he was with the injury prone faking matador. He needs to have his minutes reduced which will be and he might be better off coming off the bench, but at the end of the game you want him on the floor and looking to take the big shot, cause he usually makes it.
