“We loved the people in Utah. It’s a slow pace,” Benji said. “For a rookie, I think it’s a great place to start your career. Horrible place to end your career. And that’s just my opinion, because it’s just slow. They want you to be a certain way, they almost don’t even want you to have a tattoo.

“That organization is just a little different, and when Snyder came in, he just changed the whole process where he started (Raul) Neto over Trey,” he added. “It didn’t even make sense. The dude wasn’t even averaging two points a game or two assists a game so logically it didn’t make sense.”

The Burke family at it again.
 
Raul started over Burke? I can't remember that, I remember exum over burke.

Benji Burke must be off his **** right now. There was a reason burke was moved to the bench, it was mostly because we needed a scoring punch off the bench and partly because he can't defend a traffic cone.

He started over Burke for the first half of the 2015-2016 season(before we traded for Mack). That was two rookies Trey lost his starting spot to.
 
Which one is still in the league? Which of them was the last to drop 20+?

In fairness, Utah is really weird.
I've lived a few different places. Everywhere seems more than 90% the same to me.

What's so weird in Utah? I mean for the most part a place is what you make it.
 
Does he mean dick pic when he says tattoo? Just wondering cause the Jazz are inked.
Maybe. Seems to flow right.

By the time you’re at the end of your career, everyone’s got a dick pic.”

This 100%. I've traveled more than 90% of people for work and Utah has its cultural differences, but overall calling it weird is lazy and cliche. My gf just moved here from Florida and hasn't skipped a beat. Florida, however. Yeah, **** that place.
 
Utah is weird and has some very specific quirks. The LDS Church culture is weird, very very weird. I grew up here my whole life, visited every state in the nation, and travelled internationally. Utah is ****ing weird.

It's nice to hear the Jazz are being run like BYU football. No wonder we're screwed.

You need to be 19 instead of 18 to buy tobacco. So weird!

Do you find the religious folk more weird here or in the South? Why or why not?
 
The south is also weird. Utah isn't the only weird state in the union. It's just different. It's homogeny is a huge factor. Outside of SLC, which is still very homogenous, its about the least diverse state in the US. The religious influence is so strong here it makes people like myself feel like an outsider. I didn't grow up LDS, and I find LDS culture strange. Sue me.

This based on some comments from Benji or is there something else? But I suppose Gail, Steve Starks and Alex Jensen are exhibiting a lot of hard LDS influence on the rest of the non-Utah, non-LDS franchise makeup.
