Oscar Tshiebwe is back

[cctrackstar]

with his rebounding, if he can just get adequate with dribbling, shooting, cutting, passing, all that than sure, he could be Paul Millsap 2.0. (though i doubt he becomes the 3 point shooter that Paul became, but when he was on the jazz he hadn't unlocked that yet.) ((Yes, this is a long shot, no i don't expect it but it is possible)) (((yes, i know that Paul was more than adequate at a lot of these things, i am just restless waiting for the season to start)))

Tshiebwe, who even had rumors of joining a club overseas in Serbia, instead finally finds his way back to the Jazz on another two-way deal after being on the open market for nearly two months, inked the same two-way parameters he was signed to last season.

I try not to be picky but this is an absolute massacre of the English language. WTF is Jared doing here? He has appeared to change the tense twice in the same sentence, should have used periods instead of the commas, and then finishes with "inked the ... parameters"?

He's never going to be any of those things (dribble/shoot/passing). His swing skill is playing good defense. That's it. If he can do that, he might be able to be a 3rd string center in the NBA that gets regular season minutes. But that's going to be hard to do because he's about as good at rim protection as Filipowski is, so he has to be a beast at positioning and being able to move his feet, which Im not sure he's capable of.

He's a great 2-way player because he seems to be high character/bust his *** type of personality and you want those guys in your locker-room. I still maintain 2-way players are ultimately more for that (and filling out your G-League Squad with actual talent so your rookies can have players to play with that arent scrubs) than they are finding actual diamonds in the rough (though it does happen sometimes).

makes me wonder how much 'talent' a player can develop after their teen years. can you increase speed? mobility? shot? sure, you can't increase someone's length but how many players fall away just because they don't have the right developmental staff. having said this, i assume that genes probably still play a major role.

Oscar to me is an enigma. He has one elite skill. He was a McDonald's All American. He was a top tier college recruit yet still wasn't drafted. The Pacers moved on from him after one two way deal and the Jazz don't seem to value him as much as Svi. I suspect the Jazz will be saying good bye after this deal is up.

well now that our backup center that we sacrificed a second round pick to get is too fat to play pro ball, we might need him more than we thought.
