Yep. And if he were playing with Lebron, he'd already look a lot closer to TT than he currently does. Plus the jumper.

No doubt about it. Hard to believe he wasn't a late first round pick. Plus I like saying his name. It's going to be interesting for that 15th spot. Neto, Mack, Withey, Tibor, and Bolomboy.
Tibor can go.

By my count I have
1 Hill
2 Hood
3 Hayward
4 Favors
5 Gobert
6 Exum
7 Burks
8 J. Johnson
9 Lyles
10 Withey
11 Mack
12 Ingles
13 Diaw
14 Neto
That means Chris Johnson, Bolomboy and Pleiss are all fighting for the same spot unless we trade or cut one of Mack/Neto. It makes sense to bring all of them to the training camp and see if someone improves or gets hurt.

I didn't get to watch the game, so I watched the highlights, which can give an incomplete picture.
Does Ballin' Boy run the floor really well? It looked like he was outrunning the lakers 2 or 3 times.
Did he hit a corner three? He made three long jumpers.
He looks good when he starts and plays major minutes, not so much when he was backing up lyles. Can Ballin' Boy adapt to coming off the bench for short segments?

Bolomboy will have a nice Dleague career.
Hield was awful against us and awful all SL.

any words on Pleiss these last couple games?

I mean, the answer is clearly to keep Bolomboy. Withey is better than Pleiss, and younger. Johnson ... I like him and appreciate his hustle, but there just isn't space on the roster. Not that Bolomboy is guaranteed to amount to anything, but I think you have to keep the young quasi-promising rookie on the roster over the old *** slow center and the wing who can't shoot.
Sucks that Pleiss has the guaranteed K. Hope Lindsay isn't afraid to cut bait with Pleiss just because he'll be ripped for cutting the two people we got back for Kanter. Sunk cost at this point. But I think Lindsay is smart enough to know that

Cy, I think you will eat your words ... You owe me a drink if so, or vice-versa

Balling Boy can run very well. I think he was outrun because of inattention. He runs just like the Mailman. In fact, he reminded me of the Mailman from the first time I saw him. Not that he will be as good, but he is a better leaper. I think we will have a player in him. I'm pretty much sold on him.

oops, my bad, that should have read: " It looked like he was outrunning the Lakers 2 or 3 times."
I was surprised he got ahead of the defense, I liked it, my Mailman bias says bigs should run the floor. Favors drives me crazy when he loafs instead of sprinting.

He looked pretty damn good to me. Either get a promise that he stays in the D-league or Europe this year to keep his rights, or move Pleiss and keep him. Still think I'd like the Jazz to make a move for Rudy Gay. Ship Pleiss, Diaw and picks to Sacramento and keep JB with the spot that opens up. Gay/Bolomboy > Diaw/Pleiss.
If I was the Jazz I wouldn't want anything to do with Rudy Gay's 14 million dollar player option for 17-18. And why move Diaw? He's a 4 who can play 5. Backup center is a weak point on this team. Rudy Gay is a 3 who can play small ball 4 but we already have Hayward, JJ and Ingles for that. Not sure where Gay would get minutes.
Rudy Gay adds nothing to this team that we don't already have. He doesnt have a great track record of improving teams. I'd pass, just keep Diaw.

Rudy Gay's value comes in the playoffs when teams trend smaller. We don't need him to play the 4 much in the regular season, but it would be handy to have a guy like that in the post season.
Starting lineup of Gobert, Favors, Hayward, Hood, Hill. Then shift to combinations of (5) Gobert / Favors (4) Gay / Lyles (3) Hayward / Iso Joe (2) Hood / Burks (1) Hill / Exum. Finish the game with the hot hands and clutch guys from throughout the season based on situation and circumstance. In that type of scenario, Gay gives you more than Diaw does, although short of trading for Rudy Gay, I's still use the same strategy - just with Diaw / Lyles at the 4.
That's my thought process behind it. Good point that his $14 million player option carries more risk than Diaw/Pleiss at $10.5 million non-guaranteed.

If we are going to cut Pleiss, I'd rather get so many other people than Bolomboy.
