So why not Jeff Withey?

So when I went to the home opener they announced each member of the team. And the mentioned that Exun AND Whithey are injured, so maybe that's why he isn't dressing for games?
 
Give Booker's minutes to Withey, send Lyles to the D-League, cut Tibor Pleiss, resign Bryce Cotton.

Who says no?

I don't know, maybe because some people decide to start a thread when there is already another thread with almost the exact same thread title and with the proper spelling already on the board and started the same day.

Give me a break. I hadn't been to the site for a day and didn't see that thread. After I posted, I saw it and was about to delete this thread, but Siro has to go and post and I couldn't see how to delete it after someone posts -- only the mods can do that. And look, it's still up here. I even posted in the other thread and said I was going to delete it. Not my fault and you can't fix a mistake in the title of the thread unless you're a mod. So, you're the second person, who posts a critical attack on someone making an honest mistake ... that's what I hate about Jazzfanz sometimes.

Again, a joke. If you can't take a razzing then don't post on a message board. I didn't mean anything personal, just giving you a hard time.
 
Withey looked pretty damned skilled and confident out there. Excited to see him play more.

Your only mistake is dignifying the comments with a response. Just dismiss the a holes and move on.
 
Obvious that withey would help us win now versus trey. Pretty clear that winning now is not the top priority. That would be player development and they see trey as a part of that program.
 
Withey has earned the right to play more. I always respected the Jazz commitment to playing hard, keeping quite and playing hard. Now Utah seems more committed to development. Seems they are forgetting some core beliefs. They should reward Withey's play with more time on the court. Withey is still young enough to be considered an acorn. Develop him now and let Lyles learn in the D league.
 
Lyles would develop better on the bench/in practice/in the D-League. Dude is flailing out there.

FREE WITHEY
 
So kind of funny the one game Lyles doesn't play we win. We probably give up 2-6 extra points when him and Booker share the floor together, we could have been 3-1 without him playing.
 
Lyles is too young/inexperienced to write his career off, but he's one of the more notably terrible players I've seen the Jazz play in real games. There is definitely a point where being throw in the fire just burns a person, not to mention the expense in real wins and losses for the team.

It was not a smart move by Quin to pair Lyles with Booker. It would be interesting to see Lyles getting some minutes paired with Gobert.

Yeah I would be all for the long-term view of playing him early in the year if he showed enough to think he might be a contributor by year's end. I don't see him being that at all... the offense has been rough and the defense is terrible. Pleiss and Neto (less so, but still) are in the same boat for me. give them D League and bring them back up as need be, but don't just give them a regular rotation spot.

Withey has been great and is on a steal of a contract and is only 25. Does a little on offense with rebounding, but is a really good rim protector. Was shocked we got him, was shocked that NO didn't play him as much last year... with guys like Baynes getting like $6M per year on multi year deals getting Withey for minimum was niiiicceee.

practice gainst nba players is better then dleague games for players.. Dleague games are glorified pick up games with fringe nba talent. Could be worse for players that are soft mentally like Lyles. As a high draft pick if you don't put up monster numbers then eye brows are going be raised
 
I think the Dleague would help Lyles. We are talking about a guy who played SF for a year at UK and has now been playing mostly center for the Jazz. Let him be an actual PF for a month in Idaho.
