Jazz have waived Eric Atkins and Phil Pressey.

Could somebody tell me what was the point of that sign & waive exercise??
 
It's basically Utah paying these guys 50K up front to join the Stampede. That is what they get for being waived, then an extra 25K (or whatever the D-League salary is).

but what if they get picked up by another team later on? don't we lose that 75K?

Incorrect. His assist to turnover ratio is almost 3 to 1.


He's a pure point guard who can't shoot but has good court vision and takes care of the ball. His defense is acceptable because he hustles and never quits.

Turnover rate is 21.5% and turned the ball over a ton in college. So yes, he's turnover prone.
 
Modstapo, thank you for the merge. It IS appreciated. Your "hard work" does not go unnoticed.

His assist to turnover the past two seasons have been 2.66 and 2.875

His 2.875 last season is a better rate than Lowry, Payton, Wall, Curry, Jackson, Parker, Irving, Thomas, Westbrook Conley and others.

So you're incorrect.

He's Stampede bound but could be back in SLC if the two point guards struggle out of the gate.

Just because he gets assists doesn't mean he isn't turnover prone. His turnover percentage is higher than any of those players and he has always been turnover prone. Big knock on him coming out of college. Sorry.
 
****ty thing about Phil Pressey is he's a worse version of Ish Smith, who got claimed by the Pelicans the other day and dropped 17 points and 9 assists off the bench last night..

You can't put Ish Smith in the D-league though - he's good enough to be on an NBA roster, he's crafty at getting bigs the ball in good position too (just ask Nerlens Noel)
 
Jazz are 0-1.

Rockets, Pelicans, Spurs and Grizzlies are also 0-1.

Pelicans, Suns and Kings are all currently losing their game.

Dal and Clips are winning their current games and the Warriors, Nuggets and Thunder are 1-0.

OP needs to update standings and seedings in the west frequently.
