Why did the Kelly Tripucka experiment fail in Utah?

This thread is so out of left field. Lol I think someone should tweeter Kelley and ask why he sucked so bad in Utah then was good again when he left. I would get a kick out of that. Haha.

It's a slow week, so this must be asked.

How the hell does a 20+ ppg scorer from a team that was a top contender in the East come to the Jazz to flop as hard as Kelly Tripucka did? Sloan didn't know how to use him?

Guy goes to put up 7 ppg for us, then goes to Charlotte dropping 22 ppg the year after.

Looks like Kelly could've been the piece that got us a ring if he was used better.

What a boss.

I wanted to hate this post when I saw it come up on my feed but I love it. The guy's teeth are mad sexy. Imagine if he lived in the era of "grillz"?
 
Tripucka was not good in Charlotte. The NBA added 4 teams in 2 years and the league was suddenly 17% bigger. And it's not like the new teams got some young gems in the expansion draft or good picks in the regular draft.

No matter how bad the team, someone has to score and in Charlotte, it was Tripucka. In Orlando it was Terry Catledge and in Minnesota it was Tony Campbell. Not one of these dudes was actually good. They were just given a green light to shoot on terrible teams.

Not saying the players were above doing bad stuff but I am not buying it. No way it was kept this quite.

Don't remember hearing anything about it. I think Hansen does radio for Iowa BB games and they're still married. He won a ring in '92 with the Bulls.

Bobby Hansen was a complete **** to me when I was 9 years old trying to get an autograph outside the old Salt Palace.

I hope his wife nailed the entire team.

I can co-sign this. Total d*ck. I was 11 and said "you're Bobby Hansen!!!" and he said "I'm whoever you want me to be, but you leave me the f*ck alone." I didn't even ask for anything. I was just excited. F*ck that guy, I hope he gets waterboarded with steaming hot diarrhea instead of water.
