Opening Night Grades

Fair enough. I will say I am a little disappointed how the Cotton experiment played out here. Of course we don't see what goes behind closed doors but I find it hard to believe in 15 nba games where he avg. 8 min. most of the fans are ready to write him off (despite him playing very well especially at the close of last season)... From watching Neto and Burke, I can confidently say I believe Cotton is by far the better long term player and also more exciting to watch but in short, I have watched Cotton for 5 years now through college and if you know his story, it is disappointing a team isn't giving him a real chance. I am 100% sure Cotton will make it in the NBA if he pursues that career path, and I am also positive you guys will regret waiving him. Alas, you are correct and I am not a Jazz fan and will not be posting here all year. I am positive in 2-3 weeks I will have forgotten about the entire ordeal and will not post anymore. I do however kind of want to see you guys regret letting him go ...

For a good laugh, I am a Knick fan.

I say give Cotton another chance. Give him some real minutes to see if he pans out. Amazing what a little confidence can do for a player and now would be a good time to give him another shot.

Someone can be a good player and still not fit what we need. I had hopes for cotton based on what i saw at the end of last year but it seems like he just wasn't able tobe what we want. Of course what we really want is Exum...

I liked Cotton but he lacks court vision and size. That's a killer for a PG in the NBA. I'm not sure he can be that successful in the NBA.

I hope he'll find a roster spot somewhere but I can see why the Jazz cut him. Utah wanted a pass first PG like Neto, which Cotton is not.
