Lyes - in a lakers jersey
gobert - jump shot

Exum -- confidence and aggressiveness and willing to take ball into the paint and either score or dish
Gobert -- free throw shooting (70% next year, 75% after that). Need him to close games. Quin said that he refused to pull Rudy late (forcing the issue on development), but then as we were scratching for playoffs, he often pulled him out. I am bullish on this since Rudy's shot fundamentals look solid (versus Shaq, DeAndre, others). I think it is a lack of focus at the line.

pretty much got my wish.

Now Exum needs to get under control and using his brain in real time.

Favors - fight. I want to see an unstoppable desire to win that I've seen in other Jazzmen throughout the years. He doesn't show me that he wants it bad enough.

Exum - attack ability. I want him to be given the opportunity to attack the rim, penetrate and pitch, etc. We need him to fill the lane to spread the floor.

That's what DFav is really missing.
 
Since 3 years, Jazz are in the Man-Games Lost' Top 10.
They must improve their physical preparation : dietetic, stretching, muscle strengthening, massage, yoga session with JJ, new mattress...

Whiff on Hayward clutch shooting, which was very good last year.

In shots that were buzzer beaters or potential buzzer beaters:
This year 40% (6/15)
Last year 47.6% (10/21)

His clutch ranking dropped from 21st to 37th in the NBA per inpredictable

Folks didn't notice because Jazz were winning.

Sample size. I don't think you can conclude anything from those numbers.

I was much more concerned about his decision making, which seems much better to me this year. (Yes I realize that's anecdotal.)
 
Favors - health
Hood - health
Hill - health
Dante - postpubescent
Rudy - bashing on Deandre and swatting Chris Paul every possession
 
You folks realize this was a thread from before the season, right? I just bumped it so we could revisit what people said.

Obviously. Hayward could have hit 4 out of his next 6 shots, ending where he was last year. In fact, even extrapolating from the tiny sample to match last years number of attempts, he would be at 8.4/21. What a meaningless stat to bring up.

Funny thing is like 2-3 weeks ago he was at 32% and he had one or two really good performances in clutch minutes to get it back up to 40%. It really is such a small sample size to where one or two good performances can really boost you or wreck you.
 
I think it was clear Hayward worked on his off-ball game, especially catch and shoot 3's coming off screens.

This upcoming year he probably needs to put some focus back into his 1-on-1 scoring like he did a couple of years ago. Try to get that to the next level and become a 25 ppg scorer.
