Let me please make it clear that I'm not rooting against Exum. It is just that he seem both so raw and afraid of contact that made me think that him not developing into an all-star at all is a distinct possibility. He's quick, long, a good ballhandler for his size and unselfish, but without ways...

I really think some you guys are putting too much faith in Exum to make a difference right now. He is just a puppy and is coming from a major injury. I'm not sure he is even going to outplay Neto and Mack. His first season was historically bad offensivelly and he hasn't play competitive games in...

I've said a couple of times a few months ago that Burks is likely to be traded by the deadline and I still think it will happen. There's already a logjam at the 2/3 and 1 and he has been injury-prone. Right now, he is an insurance in case any major wing gets injured. Also, I think management...

You picked Okur's best passing year to make your argument, r_u_s_t_b_u_c_k_e_t. For his career, Okur assisted on 10.1% of his team's baskets while he was on the floor - which can be either decent or good depending on how you looked at it, but certainly not great. We have to remember that Okur...

Judging by his style of play, I don't thing Okur really has much to teach. His only discernible skill was shooting, after all, and he didn't have a particularly high basketball IQ either. I wish him well, though.

I felt really sorry when Anderson left because I thought that his role could be slowly expanded during the following years, in a similar fashion as what the Spurs did with Kahwi Leonard recently - not that Anderson had as much potential as Leonard, but he too was a "tough and athletic wing who...

Being realistic, 49. With a little luck (and by that I mean no serious injuries) and if the players don't get mad at each other due to the reduced playing time, I think the Jazz could win even, let's say, 55.

My thoughts exactly.

Favors' inside offense an A+? We wish! I agree with KD's Framily that Gobert's "inside D" rating of B+ seems low, but maybe we should take into account the following: in older versions of the game there was a rating called defensive awareness - which basically dictated how quick a player...

I was hoping to see a Tibor Pleiss Jazz highlights video. Damn it!

Can Bolomboy someday develop into Jeremy Evans?

I started posting only recently but I've been following jazzfanz for more than a decade, so I feel that I sort of know many of the members. My condolences, Crocodile Dante. Forza! Stay strong!

I agree. He looked completely lost most of the time.

Actually, his shot improved mildly throughout his rookie year and was still pretty bad at the end. Click on the image to see the stats (per Yahoo Sports).

Maybe you're right and I'm being pessimistic. Let's hope so. :)

I don't want to burst any bubble but... I believe Exum might think of himself as fully recovered, but that can really be known only by playing during the season. In what I think is the best-case scenario, his knee will flare up without apparent reason a handful of nights and his court minutes...

I watched the whole game and the spaniards really seemed to lack energy or interest. They are smart and experienced, of course, but this is not enough. I really think age has something to do with it. Neto played okay in a backup role. He hit an important three, stopping a run by the spaniards...

I bet no one is ever making that kind mistake again. That being said, I believe he is a wily veteran that can teach at least some tricks of the trade to some of the puppies in the league. Well, if Trey Burke can hope to find a place in the league, so can Fisher. Please notice that I've said...
