Our zone defense is really embarrassing to watch. Slow rotations, everyone looks confused, wide open looks for the other team. I think personnel is obviously an issue, but I'm going to put the blame on Quin. People not knowing the scheme and not being able to react quick enough because they don't know what they are doing is on the coach in my opinion.
We already have that in Jingles. . .
That would be ideal, would it not?
I mean, that is why we are having the pre season. Learning to defend without Rudy is probably the most glaring problem the Jazz have. It appears that is where the emphasis is right now.
He did look good, but on the down side, he can’t rebound worth a ****, 1 rebound last night.
Geez, let him acclimate to the new offense. Give him at least a few weeks.
I agree, but my optimism for getting better is low since I'm afraid it could be a coaching deficiency.
Could be, if the kid continues to develop into what I think he could be. I know a lot of folks want to give up on him after a couple of bad preseason games and maybe you're being coy as well. I mean I don't play like that. Yeah, I think he has more potential than Whiteside at this juncture, I admit it!
No, Doke's hands and moves in the paint are far ahead of what Whiteside was at this point. He also has the benefit of being coached by the people who made Rudy a star. If the Jazz can't unlock him, it can't be done. I would hope that Doke would be clearly better than Whiteside a year or two from now.
Couldn't agree more framer!
