Simone Fontecchio Appreciation Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

In that camp as well when he was just a catch and shoot 3 pt specialist last season. Actually dumbstruck right now at his development but also the recent development of the supposed incorrigibles Sexton and THT. Waiting for the Hardy Appreciation thread to express my regret for doubting him and his methods.

It's weird when I watch Simone I dont even think he's that good a shooter, but he's over 40% this season. He has some of the worst misses for someone who is a good shooter.

True but you have to factor in the quick release as well right? He’s just such a complete player right now including his D. Sometimes I think he’s just as good if not better than Lauri.

Trade him! Trade him now! That's how buy low, sell high works.

I was super high on Tech last year and upset I wrote him off. It almost always take the Euro league guys a year to acclimate even if they are older.

Ingles was the same way

Ingles was because he was passive. Simone just looked lost most of the time.

Those are the kind of ladies you look for! Oh wait, wrong forum.

I'm definitely on board for a 3-4 year deal. If we could get him for 3/21 or so I'd be very much good with that.

That'd be a steal imo.

i knew he'd be a good offensive player from what i'd seen in Europe, and that he could put the ball on the floor as well as shoot, and I wasn't too fussed at his first poor year adapting to the NBA. But defn shocked at his defense and athleticism. Defn a keeper

What if Minnesota approached you with Leonard Miller for Simone Fontecchio, would you take it?

I probably would.

If the Jazz are going to be bad next year, then converting Simone in to a higher upside guy could be a smart way to handle him as an asset.
