Locker Room Cleanout -- 1280 and Webcast

Exum:

Locke and Boone raz him about having to carry the pink backpack thru the summer and next season since he will still be the youngest, Exum replies along the lines of "I told them not happening"
Comments about how nice people in Utah are and how that helped him adjust
Talk about how big playing all 82 games as a 19 year old rookie is so rare, only a couple guys (like Dwight Howard) have done so. How he made Snyder play him one game when he was sick
How he was to worried about making mistakes early, the reference an 8 TO preseason game
How he knows he is better than games like that
Jokes about how Favors kept telling him "you better pass it" lol
Liked the travel but after a little while couldn't wait to go home to Utah
Plans to go to Australia for about a month then come back to Utah and getting to work
A diffinitive "yes" to being in summer league
Jazz want him working on shot consistency, finishing at rim and a pull up J of the dribble
Enjoyed the season
 
The hosts talk about wanting a "meltdown" like Raja Bell had but everyone is happy this year and so they doubt it will happen.
 
Well I will be unavailable to post highlights on interviews for the remaining Jazz players. Can someone post at least Hood's interview?

Edit: Also the interviews can be accessed in the Jazz Newz forum

Dennis talking about our 3 pg's, and mentions Bryce by name. Sounds like we're picking up that team option on his multi-year deal. Good.



Just trade out Trey for Neto, please.

I love Cotton as a 3rd PG, and could even get used to him as a 2nd PG if Trey gets traded and they don't grab a vet to replace him. Ideally though I'd like Cotton as the 3rd and to trade Trey and have a good vet. Heh, Ty almost turned the word "vet" into something to be avoided, but they are very useful.

Never mentioned or even hinted at as far as I heard.

I think he should spend a bit of time with Stockton and also some time with Hayward. I really like how Hayward added strength and bulk to his physique - Exum could really learn from that.
 
Grant Jerrett:

didnt expect to be traded
Jazz and OKC both good organizations very pc
super vanilla answers, didnt want to be up there imo

Hood:

wish he played full season, season wasnt wasted though
didnt say he was over injuries but wanted less in the future but did say he was feeling 100% healthy
wants some time off but then get going
wants to improve his body, get more explosive and strength to get lower
really thinks he just needs more time on the court to get better
injuries were really frustrating to him, made him appreciate being on the court more
Joe was the vocal leader/coach on the floor said he was really helpful for Exum but also the team
Gordon was the leader though and they looked to him on the court especially under crunch time
said he doesnt care if he starts or comes off the bench and Burk helped Hood with his development
this season taught him to deal with adversity both injuries and being around players better than him
focused on defense, because of coach quinn said to start the season they needed to be good defenders if they wanted to play
 
Kanter:

Said he doesnt think about what he does on the court.
Stopped smiling when saying he wasnt worried about free agency.
Wants to go somewhere that makes him happy.
Likes OKC but didnt sound all that comitted, wants to look around.
Lol, said he didnt care about how many minutes he gets or money just wants to be happy.

Happiness is a state of mind Kantcer. He'll probably never figure that out though.
 
Hood interview with Locke:

Thought it was great season but injury was frustrating
Jazz are on peoples radar and they grew a lot as a team
Felt great and body held up well with his increased minute at the end until the last couple games he felt fatigued
Jazz are 1 of 2 teams doing a rehab treatment with foot and ankle they cant talk about but its helping a lot
Thought he was ready to contribute right away, the injury helped the game slow down because he could sit back and watch after playing out of control for awhile
Quin introduced him to changing pace and being patient in the lane
Roy was one of his favorite players growing up. Locke thinks he looks a lot like Brandon Roy (that comparison makes me nervous with Hoods injuries might be a little to accurate) Hood likes the Roy comparison
Teammates were very supportive of him
This summer is going to be huge for him and the team and is excited about working on some stuff. He is going to focus a lot on his body but also all around game
Off season is going to florida to ING academy then SLC before summer league, summer league then unsure after that, will squeeze in P3.
Was trying to shoot duel handed on floaters quinn asked why and hood said thats what you are supposed to. Quin replied that he is supposed to make shots, use his left handedness as an advantage.
Being an all around good player came up a lot
Realized he could be a good NBA player and belonged after injuries and played well
Was caught off guard by closing out games as the ball handler and didnt know what Quin was thinking but stepped up and teammates really supported him
Locke said Quin is not a coach who came off a coaching tree and trying to be like someone. He is just himself and doesnt do things because other successful coaches do it. Also said earlier that Quin doesnt want player to copy other players and do things because other players do them. He wants them to use their strengths and do their own thing.

Hayward mentioned that he knew this year would be different on day one of camp. That he walked in and they sat down for a team meeting to start off. That Snyder immediately set the tone of the year. Talks about how Snyder appraoched Hayward after he was hired and approached him in a way that works for Hayward. Talked about family and life before BBall.

To me that shwos that Snyder did a little bit of prep and knew how to appraoch his players.

Snyder's biggest asset is personnel skills. He is amazing at finding out what makes a player tick, what the player wants and using that to help the player get better and more importantly the team get better. We are lucky to have him after Corbin. Night and day difference.

D Favs:
They want me to watch Tim Duncan and old KG, to increase my patience in the post.

Locke:
That's not who I think you are. I think you are Amare Stoudemire in Phoenix.

D Favs:
OK, I'll tell them.
Click to expand...

I agree with Locke. Coach Krystkowiak has compared Favors to Amare. Said Favors reminded him athletically of Amare when he coached Favors.
 
I don't think Favors is nearly as explosive as Amare back in the day. Everyone can learn something from Duncan and KG, but there are many differences between them and Favors as well.

I only caught the end, but it seemed to me that Trey was very upbeat, confident and engaged. I wondered if he was feeling a little unloved after being moved to the bench.

I think Tre really shines next year. He was our only scored off the bench. I think he will be much more efficient with Burks next year. I'm excited for him.
