    Saint Cy's Incredible Knowledge and Wisdom: Jazz Must Acquire Kyle Filipowski in the 2024 Draft

    He's a T-Rex with a 6-10 wingspan and average foot speed, but it's not a death sentence in today's NBA. If you can pass and hit the three you have use.

    Paul Reed signs 3 yr 24mil offer sheet with Jazz

    Smart signing. Reed is an effecient, tough player that plays within his limits. Stepped in nicely for Embiid in the playoffs last year for 2 games - Philly won both games. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NPKcFYryhs

    Jazz draft Taylor Hendricks at 9

    It's not so much the position in the NBA more than the collective footspeed you have out on the floor at any given time. And this is not enough footspeed with everyone being a 3 point threat today.

    Jazz draft Brice Sensabaugh at 28

    Or CJ McCollum, both excellent mid range shooters.

    Jazz draft Taylor Hendricks at 9

    Hendricks matches John Collins super close on physical profile (height, wingspan, reach, vertical). Hendricks projects to be a better defender and 3 point shooter though. Collins probably a bit better rebounder all around scorer.

    2023 NBA Draft “Hot Takes” Thread

    It is hard imagining the Jazz pass on him if he's there. Physically, he is a clone of Gordon Hayward: height, weight, wingspan, vertical leap, age, bad haircut.... Of course Hayward worked his *** off to become a great player, adding more bulk and dimension to his game every year. That's hard...

    Tank probably gets back on track after being derailed by sticky bombs.

    Culture of winning or tank?

    If it was anyone else besides Wemby, I'd say screw the tank, the flattened odds don't make it worth it. 4th worst would be ideal, still get the max 14% chance to get Wemby, but occasionally can have a feel good night like last night.

    How Good are We?

    I think 35 wins would be realistic if an all out effort was made. The stealth tank will probably kick in after a month though. Resting players with very minor or even made up injuries.

    Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

    Didn't like ANY of the Knicks players, not even RJ, glad Ainge went with the Cavs. Always liked Lauri's game, never really busted out like some projected, but glad he's on the Jazz now.

    Gobert to Minnesota

    Took a year off watching the Jazz, already knowing how it would end, but this is exciting. I'd say bring on the full rebuild.

    1.8 steals per game as well in summer league so far. Looking like a keeper.

    Should We Move Gobert?

    This is why getting some lanky perimeter defenders would help I think. Longer arms in the passing lanes will be able to contest better, and intercept and deflect more kick out passes to waiting open 3 point shooters. DL and JZ would have to get VERY LUCKY to find a player on their hamstung...

    Should We Move Gobert?

    Ingles was closer to his season performance than Gobert. Here is Gobert's series averages in points, rebounds, and blocks. In parenthesis is his season averages. He just wasn't effective. ppg: 12.5 (14.3) rpg: 11.7 (13.5) bpg: 1.2 (2.2) Here is his game by game +/- -24 -4 -1 -16 +14 +5 Not...

    Should We Move Gobert?

    The reoccurring theme I see here is "let's just get a guy who can play in small ball situations". At the time of the signing, the Jazz knew every team in the league can potentially play 5 out small ball. So what else does that make it other than a bad signing. Rudy Gobert is making 40 million...

    Charlottesville

    Fields would have been convicted of murder under the new law. His vitriolic social media posts were enough to prove intent. He wasn't convicted of manslaughter, he was convicted of murder.

    Charlottesville

    As usual, worded out of context. Why didn't you include this: House Bill 1674 also states that drivers cannot be held criminally or civilly liable for killing or injuring a protestor if they are "fleeing from a riot," and there is "reasonable belief" that they are in danger. Both must be true...

    Derek Chauvin Murder Trial

    Who would be on this "review board"? Who could fairly grade them without having done this incredibly difficult job?

    Derek Chauvin Murder Trial

    I shouldn't have worded it that way. Anyways though, to the broader point, Maxine Waters lives in a rich, gated community in a 4.5 million home with armed guards. She is completely out of touch and impervious to the mayhem on the streets she causes rattling off statements like this. This was the...
