Suns down bad aren’t they?
Finally
Glad he got a deal somewhere else.
He was the only highlight in January 2022, aka the worst month as a Jazz fan that I’ve experienced
I’m still mad as on draft day in 2020, out of the players expected to be drafted in the late 20s, I want Bane, or McDaniels. The team decided to draft a center when they already knew they’d be signing Favors (before free agency rumors were that the Jazz wanted to bring him back), and already had Gobert
His highlights make him look like prime Shaq, but his durability is of current day Shaq
I would be shocked if he is a positive impact for them, but good for him
Azubuike is an intriguing player but he never got into great conditioning so his minutes always had to be limited or he would start huffing and puffing and become a liability. Then he got injured and that made it worse. I don’t know what kind of shape he’s in these days but he strikes me as a chronic injury risk that will probably always need a minutes limit of some kind.
Happy he’s staying in the league, that was a bad draft for us though.
End of an error 🫡🫡 I’ll never forget all the times I said give me dok or give me death.
Seemed about as lazy as Greg Ostertag
