he was also on the Jazz broadcast being interviewed by Brown, because he signed.
Neto Officially signed.
- Thread starter The Midnight
- Start date

For the record I think Cotton is a better prospect. Still scratching my head as to why we've signed Neto when we already have:
Exum
Burke
Cotton
3 PG is typically all you need to start the season.

This.
I am scratching my head with this signing right now unless we are offloading Burke some how.
That could be a possibility but I think: Exum > Cotton > Burke > Neto
So if we're keeping 3, why not Exum, Cotton and Burke?
I think late 1st ... Vazquez was traded for a late 1st. I think Burke is worth at least that.

But i think its possible Neto is better than burke and cotton. I rememeber one time at SL and he is so much better than burke. Thats a long time ago.

your order is out of wack, I think. Everything will be determined in preseason, unless Trey is traded before. As it is now, I see it as Exum>Neto>Cotton>Burke in terms of importance to the team based on playing styles/potential. I think the Jazz see it like Exum......>Burke=Neto...Cotton. Cotton had a great game tonight, but the F/O has kept really close tavs on Neto in EU, and they brought him over for a reason, signed him to a multi-year, and want to see him succeed.

It is true. For example, last year Raulzinho was named MVP of Brazil x Argentina (Round of 16) in World Cup. On the court were Nene, Varejao, Barbosa, Huertas, Scola, Nocioni, Prigioni ..

I am with you and I think Neto will be very good for Jazz or they won't take him for 3 years.

Neto was also really good in Fiba. Ge was decent in the ACB this year. All three scenarios were less than ideal teams, though.
Neto's line last season was: 8.9pt, 3.9assists, 2.7 TO, and shot 20.5% from 3pt line last year.
Not sure how that translates to him being better than Cotton or even Burke.

Different games. He was on a ****ty team, and I mean ****ty! Yeah, his shot is suspect, but if I remember correctly, he shot it pretty decently from deep in FIBA. He is better than Burke because he makes things happen for others, whereas Burke prefers to get blocked by the rim, or only make obvious passes. Neto is creative and plays with pace. Neto is also really good at getting into the lane, Burke is not. Neto and Cotton can both get in the lane, (but Neto is thicker and taller than Cotton, and can finish in traffic that he doesn't outrun). Both Cotton and Neto can pass, but Neto is more dynamic and aware of the seldom seen lines (again, you can't judge assists on **** team). Neto has both Cotton and Burke beat on defense too. Neto is lightning quick, like Cotton, but is longer, and was able to grab 2 steals per 36 last season (yes, steals don't indicate defense, but he is regarded as a good defender as well).
Neto isn't better than anyone until he proves it in the NBA.
Hard to project a guard who shoot 20% from deep in a Euro league to have success in the NBA.

20% from 3pt line is bad.... doesn't matter if you're playing for the Lakers or the local high school team.
They don't help you make the shot, that shot is on you.

It was the 13-14' Gordon Hayward situation, bro. That does matter a ton. Hayward was 41.5% from deep in '12-13, then shot 30% in '13-14 when we dismantled the team, and was able to bring it back up to 36% from 3 last year. No, Neto is not a shooter, but I don't think he is really 20% bad. Could be wrong, though.
His agent is Dan Fegan so he is eventually going to sign with the Mavs and we will have to kidnap him to stay.
