Jazz Scrimmage Thread

Excited about Gobert and Burks. Novak for sure will be launching. It's obvious that he has one purpose in life. Exum seemed to defer often, and I don't remember him using his left. He did react well to the full court press. When that happened he just blew by everybody for a layup, rather than choking. I think he really needs a ton of space to be effective at this point. Full court press actually helped him imo. I noticed he played nearly the entire time. I think he will need a lot of experience to develop. Exum also looked a bit lost on D as we have seen in film. Not dogging on him, but he was one that I kept my eye on so I notice more of what he did.

Hayward and Favors seemed like they didn't care. Confident and aloof.

Crowd was a bit quiet imo.

All in all It was good to watch some ball again!
 
If I were and opposing nba team scouting against the jazz, I would tell my guys to sag off exum. Dude can't shoot right now
 
Letting little JP get in the game was awesome.

Only thing i would have liked better is if they gave him a chance to win it at the buzzer as well

The defensive effort against JP was embarrassing... especially when he got through the first level and confronted Gobert. I would have thought the big Frenchman could have stuffed that kid easily, but it was almost as if Rudy wanted the opposing team to score.

I don't know. I think he does it as a mannerism. Kobe and MJ always did the same thing so maybe he is trying to emulate?

I think so too. Doesn't seem to dog it a whole lot, just bends over grabbing his jersey or pants at every stoppage.
 
really glad i didnt stay up for this one. i was considering staying up all night, and calling in tomorrow. my giants lost game 3 in NLDS and the jazz scrimmage seems to have been pretty boring. id be one sad cookie if i choose to stay up right now. anyone know if the pre-season game tonight is televised?

nba.com says it's on root sports.
 
Kanter looked like he stopped eating American food. Other than that there wasn't much to see.

And breathes really hard. We were sitting close and he was the one guy you could actually see fighting for air out there. I think that was something that really stood out being close - you would look around at the other players, most standing up straight, some bent over grabbing their pants, but Exum the only one who you could actually see huffing and puffing.
 
Kanter looked less clumsy and more fluid moving. Gobert could be the surprise of the season.

I hope Motum will make the team. If that happens then Evans has to adapt to small forward position if he wants to get playing time.

Yep. I don't think Gobert and Burks have it in them to act/play that way. Especially Gobert. I made the comment to my brother that Gobert could be playing at some mormon church court with a bunch of dorky white guys and he'd be going hard, getting pissed at missed calls, etc.
