I thought the Warriors game was promising in some ways. Sure, he missed everything, and looked scared finishing at the rim, but he defended well, showed that he can get by just about anyone. Obviously, at some point he needs to finish as well, but that could happen. He was +- 0 today, as the only started even close to that number.

At this point I'm comfortable calling him a bust. It is actually a declaration of mercy, for him and for me. If I label him a bust today, and he works really hard to become a Howard Eisley type back up, then I will be satisfied.
(He has a long way to go to reach Howard Eisley)
But if I keep hoping he could be an amazing young pg I will continue to be disappointed and resent him.

It's crazy u still here and disrespecting people like there's no tomorrow.
You're even dumber for quoting this not so serious post so why don't you leave the Jazz talk to real Jazz fans instead of your horrible troll posts. Teşekkürler.
I guess when Hayward busts.
9 % shooting on 11 shots... Kid needs to go.
I'm also annoyed that Diaw has lost his shot. He's not this bad career wise. At least Diaw adds some offensive reflexivity.
Lyles can't shoot. I'd rather watch Favors play the stretch four at this point. I'm sure he can knock down 3 pointers at 25%.

Lyles can't shoot -- I guess you base this on stats rather than his mechanics?
So far as Dante, I'm as disappointed as anyone, but the refs are really abusing him. On the first play in the game against Phoenix, Bledsoe grabbed his arm and yanked him down and nothing was called. Then, later, with Dante in perfect position in front of Bledsoe, Bledsoe blatantly stiff-armed him, and they called the foul on Dante. Bledsoe actually is a dirty player. He was pushing and pulling people throughout the game and no calls. In fact, in the games that the teams came back against the Jazz in the 4th quarter that I attended, they all used the tactic of bully-ball which the refs let go without calling the fouls. It was very frustrating to watch, seeing it from the lower ball where I sat.

Even with Dante's 1-11 shooting he was a +-zero for the time he was on the floor. This is against arguably the best team in the NBA. If he hits a couple of those shots we have a ball game. Holy Trey Burke.
