Jazz are retooling the roster and have a PG. W/L record will probably be a step backward, but I like how the roster is shaping up.

Just watching Trey Burke running our offense should be like listening to a sweet symphony.
It's been a long time since we had a pure PG and skill big men at the receiving end.

I Voted A 10 And Heres Why:
- Another Year Has Passed For Gordon Hayward To Add Natural Strength And Girth With His Body Still Turning Into An Adult Not To Mention The Weight Training. The Main Thing That's Held Him Back From Being A Consistent Threat Is His Strength With The Ball In His Hands. He Has Close To Star Potential
- Another Year For Favors And Kanter To Have Continued To Polish Their Very Talented Yet Raw Skills. Obviously Both The Young Men Have A Chance To Be All Stars.
- Trey Burke Finally Gives Us A Playmaking Point Guard For The First Time Since Deron Williams And Will Have Plenty Of Weapons Around Him To Distribute To. He Can Put Tremendous Amounts Of Pressure On Opposing Defenses Because Of His Scoring Ability To. Hopefully He Can Develop Enough To Set The Tone For The Club Defensively As Well.

Your whole capital letter at the beginning of every word thing is ridiculous. It's as silly as Zoolander not being able to turn left. All you have to do is not press the shift key when you start typing a new word. Or, if that is simply impossible, go back through after you're done and replace all the incorrectly capitalized letters with lower case ones.
On a slightly even more random note, I've always wondered why there wasn't a function in word processing software that allowed users to shift existing letters from lower case to upper case. You have to delete the letter and retype it.
He does it on purpose but I agree that it is ridiculous.

6. Hope is high, but the product is incomplete.
Super excited that Lindsey was able to go get the player in the draft that Ty Corbin wanted.
Still not sure what the Jazz plan is.
Wondering how many games the team will win.
I still have doubts about elements of the Core 4, and how they fit together.
Waiting.......

this is probably the lowest expectation season we will see in a very long time guys-- so enjoy it.
It will definitely be a very fun season for us. If we falter, then we're looking at a very strong pick in a loaded draft.

sigh, I am reluctant to say because I will get killed on here, but since you asked:
Hayward has got killed in the playoffs and late game situations and can become a CJ-esque type chucker...but he is everyones favorite including Corbin's. The Jazz have tried to make him a star and he doesn't want to or can't rise to it. But as he continues to play through his mistakes he is playing more at SG which is a real problem for Burks. And rather than letting Burks play his natural position at sg the Jazz tried to push him into a 6-6 scoring pg? Both players are too inconsistant from 3pt. They might have been able to work together if there was actually 48 minutes to split between them at sg but the jazz had like 20-24 minutes split between them. I don't see how they compliment each other, it is much more like a duplication, so how can they be on the court together?
Same with Enes and Favors. No NBA team, not even the behind the times Jazz can run two post players at the same time if neither can consistantly hit the 18+ ft jumper, or put it on the floor from the high post, or pass out of the post (high or low). Yes, I know some people say Kanter has range to 18 ft if given the chance. I hope so, but until he shows it regularly in games I doubt.....
2 sets of players with similar strenghts and weaknesses, all needing more pt to develop. To me that is a problem.

Hayward was the 4th best 3 point shooter in the NBA last year after december 1st. What more can you ask for?

Is My Daughter On This Forum? She Always Complains About My Writing Style When I Send Her Emails While She's At College. She Told Me Amanda Bynes Writes The Same Way But I Don't Know Who Amanda Bynes Is And I Think It Wasn't Meant To Be A Compliment! I'm Not Sure What The Problem Is. It Seems Like The Only Times People Respond To What I Say Are To Make Some Slight At Me Regarding How I Write. I Think I've Made Many Good Points And Created Good Dialogue For This Forum But No One Responds. I Guess I'm Not In The Club Yet.
I do see Favors and Kanter as a problem if not used right. Hayward, for me, will not be that leader as commonly expected. I see him as the glue guy. Not the main focus of anything but the guy that makes it all work. Burks, to me, will be a fantastic 6th man. A high energy, aggressive scoring punch from the bench. Let Burkes take the reigns and lead this group and they could accomplish big things.
Probably not but it is nice to know she frowns on your gimmik as well.

Who says that Hayward and Burks have to be on the court at the same time? I'm not sure that Burks will ever be the answer as the starting SG, and that's OK. He can be groomed to a heckuva bench sparkplug, which we need. A lot of people overrate Burks, which doesn't mean he isn't a good piece. I'll be very disappointed if the best we can do at SG for the near future is Burks because I just see his game as too easy to prepare for. It's one thing if you storm off the bench and get yours, because nobody gameplans for you, its another when you are a major part of the rotation. Look at what happened to Brewer. He was amazing, until the opponent's gameplan pushed him outside of the paint. I have a feeling that this is obvious to the staff in practice which is why we have been "hiding" Burks until he diversifies his game. We would have to get OJ Mayo at the right price, but I see him as what I would be happy with Burks becoming over the next couple of years. If we can get that now as a starter, while Burks develops as a bench spark, we should probably do that.
