Who Will Make the Cut?

Shocked at how many people voted Brantley

I’m voting with my heart here. If he goes to the DLeague it could be years if he ever gets that contract. As Mitch as the DLeague helps make careers, but it ruins them for guys like Brantley being on the main roster all be it the 15th man expedites things for him. He’s too talented not to be on the roster. Anyone that thinks Kidd has a brighter future or anywhere near Brantley’s potential are fooling themselves. IMO Brantley has All-Star potential, I’m not saying he will be, or that I’m expecting it, all I’m saying is he has much more potential to be a contributing member of the jazz this year and beyond.

That’s why I voted Brantley.

His percentages were better than Royce's in Europe.

Through 4 seasons in Europe Kidd shot:
35% on 71 attempts
41% on 86 attempts
39% on 112 attempts
31% on 160 attempts

Royce through 2 seasons in Europe:
32% on 158 attempts
35% on 112 attempts

Kidd shot 33% on 64 Summer League 3's

Royce shot 24% on 68 Summer League 3's

I looked on basketball reference and they have different numbers... hey I hope you are right, but I'm not ready to think he's the next Royce.

For whatever reason the jazz don’t seem to go for the high potential guys, rather the safe options. It’s burned the jazz in the past.

Kidd's contract doesn't allow him to play for the Stars. Howard's does. Kidd also got $250K guaranteed, IINM. Also, I believe Howard got $50K which escalates to $250K if he makes the roster.

Jazz probably want Brantley to play big minutes every game. He won't make the roster.
