And yet, in all these years, he has not learned how to make a lay-up.:(

The guy sucked badly at shooting for his entire career. Then, during a 35-game span, finally shot at an acceptable rate and you want to pretend that is a sure thing that he is going to be decent again. Okay!

As far as highlights are concerned, the video that opens this thread is probably one of the least exciting ever. Exum has done very little this season, as in his rookie year. There were some improvements in his game during the last three years, but nothing to get excited about, IMO. If he was...

Like others, I used to play with the Jazz on Lakers vs Celtics in the very early 90s. The video resolution of the game was bad. I knew nothing about the Jazz or about NBA basketball, but Stockton was very quick and, hence, a very distinct player; Eaton was a giant and Malone quick for a big...

I've graded the players and made some general comments - some regarding the season, some regarding the future. Hayward: A-. He still not a bona fide go-to guy, but he made more of his talents than I would ever imagine. Hill: B-. His defense is not as good as advertised, or maybe he lost a...

5-14 from the field, including 1-5 on three-point attempts, 2 assists, 1 turnover - while the Jazz was minus 12 with him on court. That's a somewhat decent performance on a blowout defeat, but some guys are acting like it was a great performance. Exum is quick (but not explosive), long and a...

Lyles comes in and tries to score by himself. That kid's as dumb as they come.

Lyles doesn't have a good basquetball IQ at all! He can't figure a good shot from a bad one and thinks about scoring at every possession. Compare that with Joe Ingles, for instance. Few NBA players shot as poorly as Lyles did during this season in the last twenty years, but he did keep shooting...

Bogut can't be counted on not being injured. Signing him is a bad idea.

I'm not disagreeing with you, per se, but Stockton showed emotion on court a lot more often than people seem to remember. E. g.: https://youtu.be/kd6DkYLhgg8?t=335 Regarding Hill's body language, he usually seems introverted. I don't think he necessarily was pouting because he wanted to be...

All three back-up PGs suck! None of them would give the Jazz any "advantage", so to speak, while on court. Mack thinks he is a scorer and is slow as molasses on defense. Exum doesn't do anything well and is impaired by a lack of intensity and/or concentration - even on defense -, which pretty...

Not surprising news, IMO, since Griffin seems brittle as glass. The guy has played in only 471 of 640 regular season games so far in his career - which amounts to 73 percent. Favors, for instance, has played in 85 percent of his teams' regular season games.

IMO Snyder should give Bolomboy a try. Nevertheless it is not probable that Bolomboy would be able to do much against Deandre Jordan due to his relative lack of bulk and size.

Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, Jazz, Boston, Cavs, Bucks, Wizards Warriors, Spurs, Boston, Cavs Warriors, Boston Warriors.

I've watched the videos that you guys posted on the thread and I think Bolomboy still needs to bulk up. I agree that his 3 point shot is a bonus and that his athleticism and ability to finish inside are his main strenghts, but I don't think he'll be able to finish well inside or post-up...

Exum has a 7.0 PER for his career. He had 5.7 during his first season and now has 9.1. Have in mind that 15.0 means "average". The numbers back me up: Exum has played like crap his whole career. By the way, only 18 players have manage, this season, to play as much minutes as Exum while having a...

Yep! You're right! Hood has been awful this season, but why that should excuse Exum? He has been playing like crap for his whole career!

You're being kind. Exum had many crap games for the Jazz this season. For instance, at Sacramento, on march 29th, he was 0 for 6 from the field, with 2 assists and 2 TOs; at Miami, on december 2nd, he was like 1 for 6 from the field, with 2 assists and more TOs than assists (I think 4 TOs)...

It's like Lillard and Mack are playing different sports.

Burks is so dumb.
