Saint Cy's Incredible Knowledge and Wisdom: Jazz Must Acquire Kyle Filipowski in the 2024 Draft

[SoberasHotRod]

I would love to see him put up some good numbers against good teams.

It might be impossible though since he doesn't get the opportunities against good teams.

Does the Flip call wipe out the JHS miss? Drafting is like baseball. Get a hit 1/3 times and you are a hero.

I think an even bigger miss was the Kessler thread. Or maybe the THT thread?

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Nice.

Thank you Sir! I do have to say though that in regards to Flip, he’s really impressing me more and more and that I didn’t give him near enough credit early on. That stroke is pure and the aim is true! Man did we ever make out at the end of the 24’ first round!!!

Honestly, get a hit 1/4 of the time but that hit has to be big, is more relevant to baseball today.

FYI My incredible knowledge and wisdom say Cooper Flagg this year.

 

[Miggs]

Give the man credit where credit is due.

Haha. I actually have a very strong feeling we are going to get him. Us or Toronto.

 

[Miggs]

How’s Clingan been this year?

 

[Miggs]

Man, his block rate is 0.7%. Pretty rough.

 

[Miggs]

He has 0.6 DWS while Kessler has 1.6 DWS this year. Is that a garbage stat? @Saint Cy of JFC @Elizah Huge @Handlogten's Heros

Not tagged, but dws is worthless

Only worthless when it doesn't tell the story you want it to. If it supports your other arguments then it is gospel.

Is what he's doing legit or is it a little like Taylor Hendricks looking good last season in a tanking ***** team ?? Haven't really watched a lot of him.

I don’t think he was putting up those numbers that Flip has, but I could be wrong. Truthfully I don’t really recall a stretch like that for Hendricks.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Nevermind. Already got one. Nice call!

from what i've seen so far, flip has the ability to learn and adjust quickly, which is really what you need as an NBA player. if you are concerned about his t'rex-ness, just pretend that he's 6'10 not 7'. everything else can come from weightlifting and repetition.

This is precisely the question everyone should be asking this season. It's bizarre how how many Jazzfanz armchair analysts are taking victory laps now that a guy like Flip has posted some decent counting stats in games where we get our asses kicked by seven G-League level players. I mean, if you're a big part of that, you're just not a good player. I'm sorry. I don't care what that box score says.

Context matters. It matters a lot. This Jazz group is beyond terrible, and it's facing teams that are almost as terrible and want to lose. There's almost nothing we can really learn about the youngins this season. They have inflated roles, no accountability (since losses are "good") and lots of misguided people blowing smoke up their asses when they score 20 points.

I mean, Flip is gonna be kinda OK in the real, non-tanking NBA. A nice bench player. But if he's gonna be anything more, he's gonna have to prove it in that environment. This season does not count.

 

[Jazz4ever]

No doubt a sliver of light in a dark, abysmal season. Perhaps he'll end up being a "super Olynyk".

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Kind of shocked the on/off defensive numbers are essentially the same with Flip. Doesnt really make any sense given he plays with Walker less than anyone on the team.

I guess that says our team is so full of negative defenders that it doesnt really matter who's playing. The defense is bad.
