Some players 25 years and older on "tanking" teams with more minutes than Lauri: Jordan Poole Corey Kispert (not quite) Miles Bridges -- injuries have killed Hornets CJ McCollum Jerami Grant Anfernee Simons Jakob Poetl Kelly Oubre Gershcon Yabusele Chris Paul Harrison Barnes nobody else on...

Strikes me that if you're an unheralded 6-8 wing in the draft you should say you (and actually) aspire to be like Jaylen Wells and Toumani Camara.

Anyone know what's going on with Steph Castle? 12 total minutes (none in 3rd quarter), 4 points, 3 TO, 4 fouls. Spurs fans scandalized that they're not prioritizing his development.

What am I missing? Shouldn't it be?: 1.5% difference - Flagg 2.7% difference - Flagg or Harper

Never count the Wolves out until the final buzzer sounds

Length and general defensive prowess of Blazers' starters really giving the Jazz problems.

The other thing I'm interested about with Springer is seeing him and Keyonte play together. From a distance, it seems like their face/hair styles have some similarity; they're nearly the same size; so maybe we could see some announcer mix-ups about our frontcourt replicated for our backcourt...

Don't know if you're trying to be sarcastic, but there may be something to this (though I would put it differently). The Utah Hockey Club came around at the time of increasing Trumpification of Utah, and it seems some number (really not sure how many) of Jazz fans made loud announcements that...

I kind of want to see @Saint Cy of JFC if Hardy runs Springer and Harkless together for a 5-minute stint (though we'd probably have to be pretty deep into the injuries/resting for that to come to pass).

But next year's draft will surely be as good as advertised.

So the emphasis of this article is on the later rounds of the NFL draft, as players who can get good NIL money may not want to get into the draft early if they're not projected for the early draft rounds? I could see something similar with lower-ranking prospects for the NBA (and maybe already...

Serious questions, since I'm not paying much attention: Does the NIL money in football affect the choices of top draft picks, or primarily only middling/lower draft picks? What (in approximate terms) is the ratio of NIL money to NFL money for the players who might choose to stay in college? How...

Come to think about it, we probably have already stacked up too many losses this season to even be dreaming about conveying the pick this year. So just forget this scenario.

A thought exercise: If Flagg, Harper, and Bailey came out strongly today and said they're all definitely returning to college next year, what would you advise the Jazz to do? Would you tell them to win as much as possible and see if they can get that OKC debt conveyed this year (and then maybe...

Nicely stated. The one thing I might add is to ask about the relationship between offensive turnovers and overall defensive effectiveness. If we weren't far and away the worst team at committing turnovers, would our defense be more middle-of-the pack?

Even in Quinn's best two seasons, we were bottom 5% for turnover margin (though his Hawks teams are pretty average). So the Jazz have had history with winning despite the turnover issues. In fact 20 of the 28 years that I looked at, we've had a negative turnover differential. Not sure what...

This matters exactly 0%, as you've said, but I don't think that was the issue. I think we all agree that Shroeder was part of the process in what the Jazz picked up, but I think what Hedda was addressing was whether the "official" account of the trade on the NBA's records included him.

Many topics covered, but probably not worth a new thread, so I'll put this interview with JZ here Trade deadline, Collier/Filipowski, KJ Martin, what to do about next year's protected pick, among the topics discussed

I think we're far away from any reasonable expectation of this, but it would be great (for the Jazz) if in hindsight the trade ends of hurting both teams.

Though our turnover margin may be the single most important factor in our tanking success this season, is it something to worry about going forward -- either in relation to our current players or in making future acquisitions? I lean toward "no," but just wanted to put some facts out for...
