The guy is already showing he can play D in the NBA, a shot can come with practice if he works on it, but so far so good. I love watching him play, Im rooting for him to start imho
I don't know. Him starting means Burke coming off the bench, and I think he'd be too much of a chucker in that role. If Burke starts chucking with Hayward, Hood/Burks, Favors in the game, then yes, start Neto.
Understatement of the season?

Burke needs a change of scenery. Jazz need to move on. It's time to trade TB, imo.
I was making a statement for both Parker and Neto. Neither will beat you from deep. Neto is bad, but could improve to the "not great" category like Parker is.

Neto's court awareness is unreal. His hand speed is incredible. His shooting is frightening. Damn, I hope he can learn that.
Do you really believe that?
I really haven't thought that much about it. But yes, I believe that a player is capable of improving with practice. Not saying he will. I just think that the way he handles the ball is a lot like Parker, who is also not a good shooter, but a very good offensive player.
I always thought Parker was not a very good outside shooter but had a deadly mid range game and drive to the basket game. I could be wrong though and am too lazy to look things up. That being said, even with his offensive deficiencies, Parker is or can be a considered a generational player? No?
Parker shot a lot more 3's early, but for the last 12 years has averaged less than 1 3 per game and shoots around 32%. He's good cause he can get where he wants with the ball basically when he wants and can finish at the rim. Haven't seen enough of Neto to know how his midrange game is, his floater, or finishing at the rim. He is creative with the ball and has awesome control though. Neto should watch a lot of tape of Parker and practice those shots though.
Really? You only "dislike" him the least?
We have an insaneley talented, young and loaded front court and wings! An up and coming awesome coach that is dialed in and has his players dialed in. An FO that is putting together a great team at cost.
This is the perfect time to jump in wiht both feet!!!!!!!!!!!
GO JAZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only player on the Jazz I could do without is Burke, but we can't right now.

+1 MUST trade him... but not until we can get someone. Not something for him, cuz I don't think his value will increase, but who do you get right now? No one. Things need to play out in the League for a few months, so MUST trade by Feb.

Wolfie should start, NOW, accelerate Amin Elhassan's prediction. He can impact on the D much better than Burke, he won't chuck it up, a big + compared to Burke, and he does penetrate and dish better than Exum did last year, so not a negative vs Exum (oh what might have been this year...)
Only down side is putting Burke w/ bench, where he'll get into chucking it up constantly, but maybe he'll finish at the rim better and increase his shooting %... so we can trade him!
