Summer 2015: FIBA games of Utah Jazz players

Sorry, no help there. Turkey didn't have names on the back and I'm watching without sound, so not sure who he is. (edit) Kormaz has 3 points at the half.

In regard to Pleiss, I started watching in the 2nd quarter, after he's scored his 8 points. In the 5 minutes that I watched him, he didn't touch the ball. It's the first time I've seen him and have no idea how he gets his points - his teammates never even came close to looking for him and doesn't appear to have anywhere near Rudy's ability to get his own on the offensive glass.

Most of them are on cuts to the basket, dump offs around the rim and hard rolls to the basket. He's actually pretty long and has a nose for the ball on the offensive glass. A lot of his points in previous games came from offensive rebounds and tip ins. He also has a smooth jumper but they don't seem to run any stuff for him to pop for jumpshots, so the few he's gotten so far are a bit accidental.

4 apg in 22 minutes is high for Europe. Stat keepers are ridiculously stingy with assists. Also good passers usually benefit from playing with better athletes and in more open court game in the NBA.

I completely agree-- minutes played are shorter for players, AND assists are MUCH more strict in Europe. With this said, and despite a greater knowledge of European basketball, people still make this mistake. Look no further than Jazzfanz, who dismissed Tomic's assist stats when they were pointed out earlier this year. "Only 2.3? Meh, that's nothing to be impressed by".

That should read, "possible future Jazzman, Hanlan."

Don't forget possible future jazz man Andrew Wiggins. (He will be a free agent some day so it is a possibility)

Why would Wiggins want to come to Utah?

He is from canada, chose kansas over Kentucky and duke, plays in Minnesota, seems humble, jazz will have a good young team contending for championships.

But really it was a joke because another poster made a post about some European dude a while back saying that he was a potential jazz man simply because he might play in the nba someday.

So basically anyone who is currently in the nba or who will someday be in the nba is a potential jazz man

Lebron, the brow, durant.... All potential jazzmen
 
By the way, Fish, now I've been to SLC, I can understand why Enes made that comment that he would miss the mountains in Utah that people were ridiculing. You guys who live there probably just take it for granted, seeing it every day.

Allot of people do take it for granted..... Not me though. I love living here and I spend time in our natural beauty as often as possible. And it still often leaves me in awe.

Last week I was standing I the middle of a river throwing my line upstream in hopes of catching a nice trout, when I see a golden eagle flying about 20 feet above the river coming right at me.
It passed right over my head and then landed on a hillside and hopped around for a bit.

I got some pretty good pictures of it.

I was there only a day and a half ... stayed in Park City. Just driving thru there was awesome. Spent a day at Zion Canyon. I have to go back someday.

I was ridiculing Enes, not the mountains. I love them and wish I was fishing in them right now.

I understand that, but why ridicule him for saying that? Maybe that's what he truly felt and now that I was there and am not from your area, I can understand why he said that off the top of his head.

What I mean is that at the time, I thought it was a dumb and disrespectful comment, but after being in SLC, it makes more sense to me.

FYI---Anyone who feels like plunking down 10 bucks for the next month to watch Jazzmen and the ever popular potential Jazzmen such as Andrew Wiggins, Furkan Korkmaz, and Hanlan can go to livebasketball.tv. So Fiba Americas, Eurobasket, and elimination rounds of Afrobasket are included. Tuto Marchand Cup as well which has Canada vs Brazil in about 20 minutes. Downside is that Brazil is already in the Olympics so they do not have most of their big names.
 
Canada all over Brazil. Not surprising since Brazil does not have their A team. Definitely no excuse for Canada not making the finals and therefore making the Olympics. Have not seen Hanlan in the game yet. He may be the final cut.

When did Kansas become a "humble" basketball program to join?

Also unaware how being from Canada makes you like Utah more. I guess you are use to cold weather, but that is about the only thing.

Hey we are trying to really stretch things here to get Wiggins on the Jazz. Please be more cooperative.

My bad. Now that I think of it, we did have Nick Wiggins on our Summer League team. An obvious under the table agreement with Andrew that he will sign with Utah after he signs his QO after his 4th year, joining the Jazz in the 6th year of his career.

That is more like it. Kind of like what Miami did with Zoran Dragic in aquiring him to help keep Goran. Wiggins should be at his peak in year six.

It's because we drafted 2 Canadians this year. :)
