Scouting report on Tibor Pleiss

P3 and the Jazz coaching staff will do wonders for this kid. If he can come in when Gobert needs a rest and not be a total turnstile on defense, then he's a step up on that end of the court over Kanter, Evans and Cooley. That's all the Jazz need right now. Their investment in him is to be able to rest Gobert and be functional on offense when he plays. It's the defensive side of his game that is the bigger concern and hopefully the Jazz scheme and coaches an help improve that area.

Some teams he simply won't be playable against. There is no substitution for lack of lateral speed in this league.

We will never have him playing the high post against Marc Gasol. We have two other players to do that. How many bench Centers are triple threats from long distance? How many Euro league Centers are? That is why having him cheat up on the outside p@r was so baffling. Maybe I'm just delusionally happy with Quinn, but I get the feeling that there are at least a few of his deficiencies that can be attributed to the poor manner in which he was used. It will also be fun to see Quinn work with the starters that we intend to finish the year with from the very start, with no more trying to play people to increase trade value. I have a feeling this will be a very good start to solving our anemic offense woes.

I guess that I am an ugly American, because whenever I see FIFA ball with NBA players I cringe in how misused they are. I watched Turkey's guards keep shooting contested midranges and not looking for Kanter. If Kanter is going to be on the court, you should probably toss it inside some. You take the hit on defense either way. When the International teams finally say "screw it!" and turn the stars loose, they do well. Kiri for Russia and Gobert for France. Generally however, these studs generally have to defer to the 38 year old 6'2" greybeard who has been the "heart and soul" of his sucky team for two decades. Screw that, feed your studs!
 
My thoughts is that this Nephilim is what we need to back up the best one in the world. We are lucky we can find two and we can have them both for 3 more years.
 
Too many pages for a couch scouting report. This dude scouted articles, stats and forums. What a waste of time.
 
So a backup big costing $3M/per has some warts? No ****, Sherlock. Is this guy expecting Pleiss to be all-NBA? I'm expecting ZERO out of Tibor. If he can walk and chew gum at the same time, that's about it for this season. He'll spend the year working with the developmental staff and get some garbage time minutes. I think Favors will continue to slide over to the 5 when Gobert comes out and Booker and Lyles will split the remaining minutes at PF.

Gobert 33, Favors 15
Favors 18, Booker 20, Lyles 10

Those minutes could change depending on how many Rudy plays at PG. :)

That looks like a solid rotation. I could see Tibor getting minutes this year just to get some experience. I don't think either Rudy or Derrick gets much more than 30 tbh. And I can see Booker/Lyles switching roles and minutes by the end of the year. Jingles was getting minutes early before he really even deserved them, and it paid off by having him be a solid contributor down the stretch. As long as Pleiss isn't hurting the team when he's out there, I see him getting between 4-6 minutes per night.

Gobert 30, Favors 12, Pleiss 6
Favors 18, Booker 18, Lyles 12

Yeah, I mean, why even bother writing articles about anything.
