The Dark Horse: Udoka Azubukie

[Thee Jazz Fan]

He’s unplayable the way he shoots FT’s

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

He wouldn’t get off the bench if I were coach.

 

[Avery]

I think he will get some backup minutes, but my guess is Kessler would start over him as a true center.

 

[BENTLEY]

I’m excited to see the young guys get some run. And I’m nowhere close to calling Dok (or NAW) busts. Not just yet. If Dok can stay healthy he should be serviceable.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

He plays hard for like 5 minutes and then he's gassed. Not sure he's capable of playing starter-level minutes.

Seems like we forget that this kid has spurts last year where he was a beast down low, was swatting shots out the stratosphere and showed glimpses of his potential.

Is this the year of the Dok?

I can see the guy having an M.I.P year, since we don't have a great line up at the center position.

I know we all want to lose a lot of games, but I'd be very happy to see the young guns all break out and take us into the playoffs by some off chance. It would mean that we have a lot of young talent that can develop into even better players.

People forget the potential Dok had written on him his rookie year, and I could see him having a monster year if he comes to camp in shape, and ready to dominate.

Here's to hoping we get a 20/10 year from Udoka.

I predict he gets his chance with a new unbiased coach and is a positive surprise for us.
May get that 20/10 in the per 36 statistical category but since it’s a rebuild year, expect minutes to be shared fairly equitably with Kessler and Vando.

Dok needs to be in a lot better physical condition if he expects minutes.

 

[nateboz]

It'd be cool. He's super fragile and seems to have conditioning issues.

If he somehow stayed healthy and started I can see him being a 10 PPG 12 RPG guy.

If anything, he's one of those extra roster spots that we need to cut right now. Dude isn't physically fit to be a NBA player, let's be real

I’m not a big believer in Doke but per my inside source… Doke had one friend on the team… Rudy. He did feel a like an outsider… having a familiar face will actually be something really good for him.

I don’t think he gets his option picked up and I don’t think he ends up being much more than a third center type. I do hope he can stay healthy enough to give himself a shot.

Maybe a younger core around him will make him feel more comfortable. I'm assuming him and Agbaji know each other.

He can barely rebound
