Tibor Pleiss Coming to the Jazz Soon?

[Nate505]

jazzyapma, MK11, formerly Aybars, Tarkanian. They're all good folks. Hell, I even like berkkobe. It's only a couple of the posters that are pretty obnoxious. Sepanol was brutal. Ilyasova is hit/miss.

Even if I strongly disagree about Kanter with them, I like the Turks here. Heck, I like most people here regardless of their nationality.

Cricket World Cup is currently being played there too so they're probably too busy following that

Vom.

Looks to me like a Jeff Whithey type player, not sure how he can contribute more than that. Is he even physical enough to defend in the NBA?

Looks a little more nimble than Withey and is a better shooter. I don't think he is a good 3 point shooter, but he is mid 80s percentage wise on free throws. Think about all those bricked Kanter 15-18 footers.

I think maybe he's a rich man's Withey... It's be nice if he was a Mozgov type.

I'm guessing basketball is bigger in Turkey then Australia just a guess though.

Aussies seem to play every sport known to man.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Perhaps, but maybe he's dreamed to play in the NBA all his life. If that were my dream (well it was as a kid, until I realized how grossly unrealistic it was) I might jump at the chance just to get a single minute in and get my name on the books.

And how much is Pleiss getting paid...more than $500K?
I like the idea of having a backup center. That means Favors can play all or most of his minutes at PF. Booker can still get 18 mins/per. Besides, Trevor may not even be here past next season. I hope he is; I like the intensity he brings, but you never know. Jazz could find a quality stretch-4 who's a better fit.

Wish it was Tomic but oh well. This guy has some potential.

This is true. I wonder if he'll need to bulk up a bit to not get abused in the NBA? Or are the Jazz hoping he could be Tiago Splitter lite?

Mozgov can eat Pleiss for a late-afternoon snack.

You must have no faith in our current roster. We have been better than our record for a while now. Next year we get Burks back and improvement from a lot of young guys plus a lottery pick and maybe a FA or 2. I have a lot of confidence that we will make a push at the PO next year and even if we don't make it will be around a .500 team.

Over the last 29 teams the jazz are 14-15 and the next 10 games are:

Tonight v. Spurs - W
25th v. Lakers - W
27th @ Nuggets - W
28th v. Bucks - W
3rd @ Grizz - L
4th @ Celts - W
6th @ Sixers - W
8th @ Nets - W
10th v Knicks - W
12th v Rockets - L

So I call for a record of 8-2 over the next 10. With 3 more wins over "playoff" (Nets lmfao) teams .

I don't know much about the Euro ball... any speculation I make is purely based on stats. Just hoping for the best, but you are likely right.

Tibor kills it in his highlight videos too... haven't seen him miss one shot.

But he's rail thin, and is your typical Euro finesse big. Mozgov is a beast.

If he's not happy with a backup role in Spain, then he won't be happy playing for the Jazz.

He played 14 minutes per game against Spanish league competition, and is playing only 12 minutes per game in the Euroleague. He could easily get ~20 minutes playing for the Jazz.
