Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Aight i get your point. But i still want to see him pay Center because i feel thats where he belongs. Put on weight and make it happen. Big man this agile should be a rim-protecting C in my opinion. Just saying i'd convert him to Center and let him abuse these slower 5s out there


That's not where he belongs, he is a PF and trying to convert him to a center would be silly. He's better as a PF that's protecting the rim playing help defense while another big body next to him takes on the 260-290lbers. He's already abusing smaller PFs that don't have the speed or length to match him, absolutely no point in him playing C, especially since he isn't the most durable dude right now.

I like duke, even saw him in person the other day, but he's still kinda raw, I think they're doing the right thing by not giving real heavy minutes....

Jazz low key got a core which might finally take off next year....


Nah, if anything the Jazz aren't starting him because it would kill Kanter's trade value, he's ready to start now and his offense is raw but defensively he's already one of the best big men in the league on that side of the floor. This dude is franchise level defensive anchor, usually when you got young shot blockers like this they're shytty in team defense and hurt their team by chasing blocks, he doesn't do that and is almost always in the right position to contest & recover. You can't even expose him in the PnR cause he's got great lateral quickness for his size and his wingspan is on some next level shyt.

Realistically, I think they also don't start him because they'd win more games and hurt their lottery position. He's a difference maker and people are starting to notice it.

:patrice: low key I was at the clips v jazz game last week, and it's like 2 minutes left jazz are only down by like 4 or 5, then all of sudden the coach only takes gobert out who was playing a decent game protecting the paint, for no reason....I had the biggest :dwillhuh: :wtf: look on my face because he clearly had an edge over Blake and DJ

Anyone still willing to put Vucevic over Drummond, they recently played, the outcome was really one sided -

Drummond
17 pts
22 rebs
3 blks
2 stls


Vuccimane

10 pts
5 rebs


His last 10 games have been monstrous

15.7 ppg
16.4 rpg
2.2 bpg
1.6 spg
58%




Outplayed Boogie as well, Cousins finished with 18pts 15 rebs but was 5-17 from the field while Drummond finished with 15pts 14 rebs (6-11 from the field). Their matchups the last 2 years have been pretty even, Boogie cannot overpower him and it leads to some awful shooting nights for him, while Drummond seems to take the matchup personally and is holding Boogie to 43% shooting in their games against one another.



Jusuf Nurkic is going to be so much better than his current ranking, he has the potential to move into the top 3 and while I call him the White Boogie, he's looking more and more like Marc Gasol with a mean streak. His defense is shocking, Denverstiffs.com just did a feature on it, everyone knew his offense was going to be very good but his defense impact is big -

Since he started getting more minutes he's been averaging

12.8 ppg
8.5 rpg
1.5 spg
3.5 bpg
54 FG%

All in roughly 24mpg.....
