personally, i have been ignoring height and just focus on the wingspan. basically, svi is 6'5 to me. not really tall, but tall enough to play his position. and flip is 6'10 which is why he really needs to be a PF, not a C, at least if he starts anyway. you don't defend with your head, you do...

We have been fishing for good players and found some. We have at least a big two with ace and Lauri, and with the new CBA punishing going over the tax we might not need a third. As long as a few more are starter quality players we should be fine. On top of that, we still have a bunch of picks...

you mean like we got Flagg? The NBA has a whole draft lottery ruleset to make tanking for number one 50/50 at best. we've walked that path and fortunately came out of it with potentially a great player but not the number one. We have good talent evaluators, let's outsmart the nba by having...

Think about it. If the Jazz are first five picks, it means that our young players are crap and that Ace played like an inexperienced rookie. That's bad news for the team. If our youth are talented like we think they are, the pick falls down to 7-10 right? while that is a solid pick and we...

ok, let's say he leaves the team. who's next? is Kyle starting C material? i wouldn't say so. Nurk is good but old. we have some forwards that can sub in sometimes, and oscar tries hard. Lauri is tall enough, but really isn't a C. I kind of wished that they had drafted someone. i guess...

K fellas, we've seen a few games post recovery. way too early assessment: what are we thinking, is he back? has he learned how to play? Injury wise, he does look ok. still question if he knows how to play but maybe that will come, and for basically a delayed rookie, he is doing decent.

People are always talk about starting. I don't think Flip will ever be a regular starter because of poor defense due to his narrow wingspan. I think it would be fine for him to be the stabilizing influence off the bench in the paint. let's say that one of our undersized combo guards is coming...

i aint paying to move up the line at mcdonalds when i can go to five guys instead. i don't see it. he's undersized and plays like it. he'll have a hard time getting that great shot off when he can't shoot over his defender and doesn't look like a natural playmaker. i'm saying it here: trey...

Sorry fellas, i don't see it, he's been mostly embarrassed by his defenders. i wouldn't have minded taking him with the second pick, but moving up was definitely a stretch.

Blew my mind when they guaranteed Svi. Not in a good way. i guess he's kind of athletic, but when he plays his 'feel' is completely different than all the other players on the floor. Kind of janky. I mean, he might eventually learn better and become something, but at 28 he's a little (a lot)...

If a team is trying to win, defense is the first priority for me. Flip shouldn't see the outside of the Stars practice facility before he learns to defend. It looks like Keyonte is moving in that direction. It's the reason that Sensabaugh is sixth man at best. They are all good athletes...

Nah, because his teammate Dylan Harper was right along side him and went number two. i think we can all agree from how he played yesterday that it probably should have been 2 and 2a between those two. I bet some teams didn't draft him simply based on principle. don't draft the arrogant guy.

no news, no news, no news, GAME. pre season weird.

if the vets play well, the team will trade them away for future assets or a project or two. they've done it before. if they don't play well, we will probably be 2-4'th pick which is probably about right for our talent minus the expendable vets.

Remember that time when the Jazz drafted Udoka Azubuike right at the same time as when Gobert was in contract talks, possibly as a way of saying 'we can survive without you'? I like this way better, it's cheaper and less long term.

Apparantly it's through the Stars? https://kslsports.com/nba/utah-jazz/mo-bamba-utah-jazz/558738

you know as well as i do that a player can demand a trade at any time.

Based on the rookie pay scale, Cooper cost Ace upwards of 2 million per year through his rookie deal just so that he could get his son back into the NBA. No wonder Ace let the guy go.

And the plot thickens: Ace parts ways with Omar Cooper It starts to look to me like Omar was using Ace to get his son back into the NBA by leveraging with the wizards. more scum than i thought he was.

the thing that i noticed most on the article is the son of the 'not' agent guy that the wiz signed to a ten day to try and bring ace to them. just like the jazz picking up various friends of players to try and keep them happy. sneaky sneaky, but cost ace millions of dollars because he should...
