Looking back at most everybody doubting this signing, getting a better-than-usual third string center does make a lot of sense now given they were planning on Adams to still miss a significant chunk of time. That said, I kind of do wish they had just brought back Jock instead of signing Clint. Jock is having himself a very nice season with Memphis, including shooting nearly 40% from three on three attempts a game. Clint, even in his current physical state, is a better rebounder and shotblocker, but the spacing at the 5 would have been a very nice luxury.
Jock got too comfortable as a Rocket and stopped getting in shape when they got Adams. He is doing well now cuz he went from 8M or w/e his salary was to vet min.
You know though that between Rebounding/Blocking center & and Stretch Ctr role player - udoka wants the former 11x out of 10. If we're looking for platonic ideal 3d string Cs - wait now what's that What's that noise (shrieking) What's happening Jim Why'd the lights go out Bah gawd King That's... that's.. that's Jay Huff's Music! Jay Huff! Jay Huff! Jay Huff!
I think players like Clint and DFS were signed to be possible trade pieces. Yes, they can help this team, but they are also very tradeable contacts. Stone knows what he’s doing.
