Jaz have to be an all time bad defensive team

I guess that is a good point. March/April should be basketball's time to shine since Football is over and MLB doesnt start til late March, but it is the worst basketball of the season. But like what if a team has the 10th seed for draft position when March starts, then they make the playoffs? I...

I mean, this Jazz team has stayed in a lot of games. Their defense is just extremely bad so they cant survive 6 minutes stretches where they score 0 points.

So they just sit their stars in January/February and play them in March....

Because I havent talked about Tony Bradley the entire discussion. It was a bad pick and I do not defend the process in which led us to the Bradley pick. He was a bad athlete with weird advanced numbers because of his offensive rebounding prowess. I do think the Udoka pick is defensible. Was it...

One funny wrinkle: Have mandatory playoff (and play in) money bonuses for players. May make it tougher for coaches/FO's to sit guys if they are directly ****ing with people's money?

The only player you could possibly be referring to in the Udoka draft is Nick Richards, and he certainly was not a better prospect than Dok.

He was great at Kansas No one expected him to ever be Shaq. He was supposed to be a thicker Gobert. A huge lob threat who dominated the glass. It was a fine bet on paper. Take a 4 year guy with elite measurments and athleticism. He just could never stay healthy or keep the weight off. It was a...

Lauri and Nurk out.

I don't think any of that really matters when you're drafting 28 (or w/e number it was). You're just trying to get the player you think can have an impact. If he had a good work ethic, he would have been a very good backup. He just never got in great shape and was spraining his ankle constantly...

Agreed on the no top 4 picks 2 years in a row. They should just completely eliminate protections on picks. You trade a pick or you dont. No protections possible. Locking in positions after March 1st seems tricky to me. So what if you have a really front or back loaded schedule? Are we getting...

No one wants to be in a rebuild for another 3-4 years.

I still think the Udoka pick wasnt that bad on paper. The dude was a monster his last year at Kansas and he fit the system perfectly. He was absolutely massive and had a 40'' vertical (minus a few inches because he probably cheated the standing reach) It just seemed like he didnt really like...

You swap Tmac/Kobe's teams throughout their careers and TMac is probably the guy everyone thinks is better between the two.

Tmac got to the FT line a ton and its kind of like he played in an era where the court wasnt as spread out as nowadays.

TMac is probably more underrated than overrated.

The choice between AJ and DP would be tough. Hard for me to not take DP, but AJ has looked great

Deron had a better career for the Jazz than Paul had for the Pelicans. Less than a percent of drafted players play for one team their entire career.

AJ killing these mid majors
