GT: Jazz @ Spurs Jan 15th 6 p.m. - AT&T Center, San Antonio, TX

Who knows what there is behind the choice to not let him shoot threes.

We are not tanking, so if he hits 3s with success it is an advantage. Maybe Corbin wants to protect the veterans playing times....ehehe

I just told you why...

Here is your answer to this question Billy. From the DNews yesterday when talking about Alec's big game Corbin said this:

This is just a mind blowing quote. There is just no way Lindsey, a product of the Spurs culture, keeps Ty around.

I wasn't arguing with you about it, but no one knows he even can hit threes, because no one has ever seen him do it. Plus he's too good in the post to be sitting at the 3point line.

The statistics say that he was 1 of 1 last season. I didn't see it, but someone clearly did.

And I cannot find the quote, but Kanter elaborated on that shot afterwards saying something to the effect of "I want people to know that this is a shot I can make."

I wonder if his coach knows that? I mean, wouldn't a good coach make use of that, the stretch 4 idea???

You guys must have noticed the comments by Barry on that game, about how the Jazz should run more (we are #16 in league in fast break points, with a young and quick squad) and that Kanter and Favors ought to play at the same time. Methinks he is right, doubt Ty the t--d agrees. It would be especially great to have Kanter on the perimeter when trey/derrick are doing the PnR.

Corbin is against having bigs (not wings playing out of position) shoot 3s. We're seeing that in relation to Millsap's obvious ability to shoot 3s that has been there for years. I think it is dumb and a mistake, especially considering how much the Jazz subsisted on that dynamic for six years (not to mention how dramatic an effect it's had on the Jazz JUST THIS YEAR with Marvin).

Besides, if they throw that role at Kanter and it doesn't work out, well, this is the year to take the "risk".

This.

And, I marvel at how open Kanter is from about 20' out.... and you can tell he's trained to not even LOOK at that shot.

 

[Doublea]

We'll probably never win a championship if the 3 ball isn't a major part of the offense.

 

[akirac73]

this is the year to take the "risk".

Corbin and the Jazz should have looked at this season as an 82 game "preseason" for next year. There's still time, but we already wasted nearly half the season.
