Utah's Jefferson back in best shape ever (6 photos to look at)

This was my favorite part....

"Jefferson promised the team would be better defensively.

"And it starts with me," he said."

Glad to see him willing to take some responsibility and leadership. seems like this team has their head in the right place. Couldn't tell too much from the pics, but thanks for sharing.
 
Actually Al and Enes looked pretty soft in those picks - not much upper-body definition. Hayward does look like he has put on some weight.

He literally made this exact same promise last season......
 
Hayward looks like Hornacek in a 6'8 body. He has that Hornacek build. No homo. Imagine if his game is on Hornacek level? I can see that being so working with Jeff. Hayward is like a learning prodigy. He could be lethal, man.
 
I KNOW I heard him refer to the 5 as the captain of the defense and that it starts with him at his introductory press conference.

Every year, every player is in the best shape of his life.

Still skeptical, but would love to wrong this time.

How good was Hornacek. i didnt watch jazz back then, so i am just curious
 
Agreed that comments by players at the first of training camp are always suspect. However, if this quote is accurate, I am very optimistic. MM doesn't often spout off.

"I will go on the record right now in front of God and everybody," trainer Mark McKown said. "He is the most explosive, the most athletic overall, the strongest and most stable from foot to head than he's ever been, and with the lowest body fat ever.

"If he doesn't have his best season ever ... I will be shocked."

Obviously MM has only been around Al for one year but still quite a comment.
 
Who cares about the muscle? AJ looks in a lot better shape. I am excited about the roster. I am glad that I am not Corbin because he has a tough job determining playing time. I just hope all the positive vibe going on remains because my biggest concern is player's complaining about playing time.
