These Jazz Practices Are Making Me Excited.

How easily we forget how good a shooter Hayward was in the past. It was only two years ago he was a 40% 3pt shooter.

But in those seasons he wasn't the "go-to" guy. A lot of times he was the 3rd or 4th option. Because really, what changed? Why would his shooting just fall off like that? He shot 41.5% from 3 and took more. Last season he shot 30.4% and took less. The question is if he can shoot efficiently being the "go-to" guy.
 
Man, I'm trying not to get excited because talk is talk and so far that's all we've got. But I love everything I'm hearing. Just trying to keep it in perspective and wait to see what happens on the court and how this team deals with adversity, because even if things exceed the most optimistic expectations there is still going to be plenty of adversity this year.

Who says he's the "go-to" guy?
Tell me who was that guy in SA last season (during the regular season). No one averaged more than 16.7 pts/per on SA nor played more than 30 mins.

What I want to see is everyone sharing the load. I'd be thrilled if the Jazz were averaging 100+ pts and no one player was scoring more than 18/per game. Also, with the increased pace and the apparent depth on the team, no one should be playing >30 mins.

Even though he was a "go to" guy, I think a better offense would get him better shots and his percent would go up. It's the coach that should know his players strengths and get them shots that they are good at. Example would be Dragic with Hornacek last season.
 
Wait a minute, if coach Q is getting after players in practice, doesn't he risk not being a "players coach". SOOOOOO glad Ty is gone. We are going to be tougher and more organized and that alone will make me happy.

That was a Sloan rule that Corbin carried on with. Remember how Stockton had to be the one and only one to bring it up? I sure hope Quin kills that rule because it kills a lot of fast break opportunities.

Quin Snyder via Deseret News said:
"We don’t want to define positions," Snyder said. "We think basketball should be position-less. We want to have great shots each time down the floor. There have been times this week where the ball has moved extremely well. We aren’t perfect, we probably will never be. But I’m pleased with what I’ve seen this week."

been hearing all summer that Quin wants to emphasize bringing the ball up the boundaries as quickly as possible, which in turn means passing off the rebound to the nearest "ball-handler" (alec, gordon, exum, trey) and going.

And if the season flops? O/U on how quickly the Shrine of Quin gets burned down by his current "I haven't seen him coach a single game but he's the best thing since sliced bread" worshipers?

We all know how this season is going to turn out.

This statement makes your credibility go down.

Not gonna happen.

After Corbin, we will love anyone at coach..... and he will have a long leash.

We now know it could always be worse
 
i'm interested to see which guys will end up fitting in this system, its probably unlikely this will be a seamless transition for everyone. Makes me wonder if Quin was here sooner if we would have seen different players drafted from previous years.

All of our guys are pretty good at running and in transition, so I think we have a good selection that will fit in it. Hopefully though the jazz can grow a system where a lot of players thrive, like the good old days with sloan. Players would come here and do great, then go to a different team and lose that. Corbin's system had the opposite effect where players wouldn't do as good here and then move to a different team and do great (Al, Milsap, JYD).
 
What I'm most excited for is that Quinn is the first coach in my lifetime that understands that the jazz play in high altitude. Run the other teams out of the gym. Simple things work the best.

I think we will be more forgiving to start, but Jazz fanz are fickle. I give the O/U at 41 games, and I will take the under. I think leading up to halfway we will see people grumbling.

I'd put my life savings on the under if it were at 41 wins
