I FEEL LIKE JAE COULD DO THIS

I thought this as well. Still has some awkward finishes but he took contact really well on a couple of those drives and was able to bully his way to the rim on the smaller guards. He looked rusty with his ball-handling and a little bit slow which is probably just trying to process an NBAa game...

I'll never kill someone for being a bit overly (imo) optimistic. I hope you are right!

Do you really think the Jazz are legitimate title contenders this year? That's wild to me.

What's best for the Jazz in the short term or long term? To me this season and any playoff run is a secondary issue. We aren't truly contenders and obviously need to add pieces to be truly competitive. It is much more valuable to get a better handle on Exum before having to sign him to a long...

That's what we call an anecdote. It doesn't mean anything in the larger scope of things.

Lol. Why didn't I think of that. I like how both these teams are teams that DL was a part of as well. This must be it.

I mean yeah it might be smart to do that (pay for his own upgrade) for him, but I'd also be pissed at the org when contract negotiations came along. I'm still not really understanding this Bradley pick. He's a project big at a position where he'll only ever be a backup. Such a low ceiling pick...

Meh. He had a bad game and that info was out there already when he was drafted. You can't base opinions on one game. He wasn't going to play an all-star team every game in college. Like I said he might have slipped, but he also would have been very good against almost every college level player...

I highly doubt this. He was very good against his peer group even in the world competition he played. I think he still likely ends up as a lottery pick, though I'd guess not a top 5 pick. There's a GIGANTIC difference between playing college ball and playing NBA ball from both a physical and...

Rubio has impressed me with his trickiness around the floater range. That little leaning bank shot is decent and he also gets fouled on it fairly frequently. He generally is only taking wide open set shot 3's now, which is what he should be doing. He still seems like he's constantly at an...

I kinda think this whole thing against downunder is getting a bit out of hand. I don't know if there is some history with him or something but the comment seemed benign enough to me in a vaccuum and he clarified what he meant. Maybe move on and try to understand what he was going for with the...

Man this is so amazing. I love when these old threads get resurrected. Framer with dat humility as well is refreshing.

Yeah I think Andy Larsen opined that he thought Bradley was still a year away from being a rotation player. He seems to be putting up decent numbers in the G league. I'll be really interested to see if he can develop more from a physical standpoint over his first pro offseason. Right now he is a...

The only truly stupid thing is pretending that you can project NBA players with any level of confidence. GM's and scouts have access to knowledge and data that we could only dream of and still get it wrong most of the time. I've always chuckled at guys who take themselves so seriously that they...

I'm all with the idea that maybe Sloan was a little less adaptable than he could have been, but when you bring that snek Marc Jackson into it you lose credibility. I mean I think AK was miscast (partly because of how the league was then, and mostly because Deron came in and took over the team...

FWIW Tony Jones today said that he doesn't think the Jazz are willing to give up a pick to move Burks. If that is true it comes down to either finding a guy (in a trade) they like enough to bring on for extra years or just waiting it out and maybe releasing him at the deadline (or holding on to...

I think this is especially true on the perimeter. He still does ok, but he doesn't seem as agile and quick as he was a couple years ago. He could switch everything and really cause havoc out there before. Now he is slow ona lot of rotations and closeouts more like a center (which makes sense...

How is it not as simple as that? I mean the only bad outcome is if you pay him for 4 years and he is absolute garbage. If that is a realistic possibility then you shouldn't sign him at all. He could get injured but that would be different. He doesn't have chronic injury concerns as far as I can...

I didn't say only a second round pick. It would be a pick and a player that a team values. I actually agree with the other poster that says it's more likely that he's traded to take on a longer contract. If they can find a player that fits better (a 4 would be great) then that might be...
