I was actually quite bummed when I learned that Dallas would be resting four of its starters and that the Jazz would not play G time or Favors. In fact, I initially felt like I wasted money buying tickets. Turns out, I quite enjoyed the game. I also really enjoy the faster pace of play we saw last night and then against Portland and Sacramento. I don't see any reason we can't up the pace of play next year, and I hope we do.
I really like Cotton and Johnson looks intriguing. I wish we had more data points on both, but if we can get that kind of energy and shooting of the bench consistently from these two, I think they might have a future. In any case, it was a fun game.
If that's who Cotton is, then I do wonder what's the value added of Burke? But like many may have mentioned, probably not wise to go off too half cocked on such a small sample set. I see these two at the minimum getting invited back to camp over the summer and next year.
