A Good Word on Cotton

[GoFriars]

Most jazz fans like cotton and hate trey already.
You are weird dude

I understand most Jazz fans like Cotton (although a good amount don't) but I think MOST Jazz fans are pinning him as a decent backup / good 3rd stringer. My issue on this board comes in when people completely make him an afterthought given his size and what he has shown in about 10 GAMES.

Well, an afterthought is exactly what Cotton is accustomed to. So we should not really expect it to be any different here then it was when he was in high school, offered 3 days before PC classes started, or following the North Carolina game, which wasn't even worth an invite to the draft combine. So, nothing new under the sun, here. I don't take it personal if he's viewed as a limited bench player. And Cotton will start training camp with the same chip on his shoulder that has served him very, very well up to this point. And Stifle Tower is right in that Quin Snyder is not going to bury Cotton on the bench, garbage time only, if he is showing he can help the team in a greater capacity. Again, he just needs to make the roster and he will take care of the rest. You know, the only thing that would happen is Jazzfanz being surprised if he's better then expected. If they do well when he's on the floor, nobody's going to diss the guy or dismiss him. Or really care if some are wont to say "told ya so". The fans want a pg rotation that results in W's. If Cotton turns out to be the best option this year, you can crow, but as noted, it's not like everybody is hoping he's a bum and gets cut.

If that transpires, and the Jazz are winning, you won't hear many complaints. And you might be right before all is said and done. As Shammgod said, Cotton is just going to get better and better. Training camp is the next hurdle, and he will stand out there I do expect. I've believed all along that just make that roster and he will be a more important member of the team then many might initially expect. Maybe it's meant to be. Countdown to training camp....

I think the Jazz would be losing if Cotton is our starting PG.

*Edit* reread your comment and it seems that I missed read what you were saying.
