Better player than the one we've seen under Thibs. Will excel under Quin if he's given confidence.
I think that Rubio has told this to the franchise and trusts him a lot. And you should trust Rubio's IQ there.

Sign him now."I may not be a suitable defender but I can kick Arron Afflalo's ***"
he could be a great player for us.
pretty sure twolves did not utilize him well. we know we will use him better

That's a great guillotine choke actually.

If Favors leaves. Bjelly would be in line for a Most Improved Player award.

Bjelica played extremely well when Butler went down, I actually picked him up in fantasy. Go check out his game log in march/april.
With that said, I don’t think he’s a plus starter at the 4. I trust the Jazz though, and maybe they know something I don’t.
I really hope we can make a play for Harris during the draft.

Agreed. What's impressive is how he dodges Afflalo's sucker punch. Afflalo only got two games for it, which is ridiculous. It would have been sweet if Bjelica would have DDT'd him Jake Roberts-style.
He’s 30 though so I don’t think he has that much room left to improve, then again he has only started playing in the league recently.
I don’t think he will get a massive deal from anybody. RFA status means Minnesota would probably match every smaller offer but won’t go above $6M a year or so. I don’t think he will get much more than that from teams across the league as money has largely dried up (if he were RFA two years ago he would have got $70M / 4 years or something). He’s also approaching free agency at the same time as many other stretch bigs including Ilyasova, Tolliver, Mbah a Moute, Grant, not to mention Gordon and Parker. Arguably Hezonja and Kyle Anderson in the modern NBA too. Teams will have plenty to choose from and won’t need to go over the top.

Wasn't that terrible record against one of the toughest stretches of games for any team in the NBA last year though? I'm fairly certain it was.
