Jazz vs Phoenix

[8]

Exum is going to suck offensively against any average to above average defensive team.

Kinda, the numbers won't be there at all, but he also won't be stopping the ball, turning it over much, or making poor decisions. He'll revert to his spotup along the perimeter strategy, which is the wise thing to do as far as collecting wins go, and against the worse teams the Jazz will experiment more with him as a primary playmaker in the pick and roll. The Jazz will utilize him exactly as they should.

Relative to where he was? Yes. Relative to what will make him a successful project for the Utah Jazz? No. There's a ways to go.

I'm not knocking the guy. I'm excited about his ceiling. But his handle is further away than I'd hoped.

There's a way to go for sure, but I'm thrilled to see the progress since he last played. His aggressiveness is there and the crispness in his passing also improved greatly since two years ago. Let's see if his stamina improves from his rookie year as well. With the improvement he has shown so far through 4 games, there's no doubt his all around game will improve even more, along with his handle.

I think it means there is about to be a round of cuts pretty soon and Quin wanted to thank the guys who signed onto camp with some playing time before they got cut.

Yup, just like I thought, the 3 random dudes who got playing time for the first time in pre-season got cut the next day.

Interesting in the story about the cuts the DN said the last spot is down to Henry Simms, Withey and CJ. I thought Simms was a camp body and future Salt Lake Star. Interesting.

Kiwis are chill.... but Downunder's not a Kiwi, he's an Aussie.



Hint: His location is "Melbourne".

Oof.

He is. You are reading to much into it. The paper is being factual.

I think Withey and Chris Johnson will be cut. Right now Withey is dead to Snyder witness his DNP last night.

With the way Bolomboy has played, I think you are right about Withey. CJ may stick unless DL sees a guy he likes who is cut by someone else ( like how Ingles was acquired).
I can empathize with Jeff (first the gf/wife, then the job). Of course, he has a tidy sum to live on.

Well, 17 players left in camp. I don't think the DN reporter has any inside info. You Don't have to be proficient in common core to do the math. The injuries to Favs and Hayward probably have Quin wanting to keep a couple extra for the remaining preseason minutes.

They probably just felt bad cutting Sims right after he gets a flagrant-2 (and associated fine) so they'll keep him a few more days. Not that that helps -- he probably doesn't get any more money either way -- but it looks nicer. Yeah...that must be the explanation.

Don't forget about this gem...

Jazz will keep withey... this preseason hasn't been great offensively but he was really good last year for us when we needed him. That matters more. Bolomboy is fine but a rook... needs seasoning.

If we add another wing it will be via a Mack trade... either for draft picks and to open up a roster spot or for another player. I think I'd rather play Mack at the two and slide Rodney/Exum/hood/burks to the three for a few minutes than play CJ.

No, pretty sure there are deadlines to your roster size. I think the deadline came up today and the Jazz cut the minimum they had to.
