2023 off-season

[URL]https://thejnotes.com/2023/07/30/utah-jazz-icon-karl-malone-appears-at-ufc-291-to-a-mixed-reaction/[/URL]

[QUOTE]So it’s not surprising that there are few men in the history of the Utah Jazz who curry such unique and differing reactions as Malone. Some people feel his fathering of a child with a teenage girl when he was in college was unforgivable, others are able to separate the art from the artist, so to speak.

[/QUOTE]

girls not girl. I have a bigger problem with him not acknowledging all of his bastards

[QUOTE]Despite his level of fame, it’s high time that the franchise moves away from him. Malone is too toxic of a name to keep associating with your brand.

[/QUOTE]

like that will happen :lol

[QUOTE]Right now, Kessler and Horton-Tucker pose to be big contributors for the upcoming season, and George has an outside shot at starting at point guard, assuming he can get past Horton-Tucker, Collin Sexton, and Kriss Dunn to do so.

[/QUOTE]

Horton-Tucker wasn't in the rotation until after the deadline and now he's poised for a big year?

and yet he's still a Bum

[QUOTE]In our opinion, Clarkson should be no lower than no. 16.

[/QUOTE]

maybe if there were only 16 to choose from. I'd put him at the bottom of any list

[QUOTE]Controversly, no. While Pascal Siakam is better on defense, Markkanen has no real limitations on offense, unlike Siakam. So one could argue he’s higher than Siacam and is at least the fourth best power forward in the league.

[/QUOTE]

Siakam fills the box score while Lauri scores

from top 3 to 10? Who here impacts the game more? Certainly not 9 guys

[QUOTE]That would be absurd, especially considering what Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant both respectively went for in their trades with the Phoenix Suns. Anunoby isn’t near Durant, and while he’s closer to Beal, Beal is still clearly the better scorer. So why would Anunoby get three-first rounders?

[/QUOTE]

elite defender and younger

Juzang obviously. They don't have many wings and he played last year

[url]https://thejnotes.com/2023/07/27/is-lauri-markkanen-a-small-forward-or-a-power-forward-for-the-utah-jazz/[/url]

apparently he's a 3. Don't really get it

[url]https://thejnotes.com/2023/07/27/is-lauri-markkanen-a-small-forward-or-a-power-forward-for-the-utah-jazz/[/url]

[QUOTE]Injuries to Clarkson forced some position changes, but it’d be far to say that Markkanen played more small forward for the Jazz than not. After all, Olynyk, Vanderbilt, and Kessler were all far less skilled offensively than Markkanen, so the Jazz moved Markkanen out to the perimeter far more often in those situations.

[/QUOTE]

Olynyk was more the 3 than Lauri when they started together as far as the way they play

[QUOTE]No, Sexton and a singular first is more than fair for a guy who would see his offensive production dip dramatically moving from a third option on a Toronto team to a fourth or fifth option in Utah. [URL="https://thejnotes.com/2023/07/26/will-the-utah-jazz-have-any-interest-in-extending-lauri-markkanen-next-season/"]Lauri Markkanen[/URL], John Collins, and Jordan Clarkson are all going to get more touches than Aununoby, not to mention the desire to see what Keyonte George and Taylor Hendricks can do.

[/QUOTE]doubt The Bum would be here long if they got OG

[QUOTE]The Jazz can avoid the mistakes of the Lakers, Cavs and Nets by staying the course and building a team that can compete long-past others they’ll go up against.

[/QUOTE]

stay the course depending on what opportunities arise

[QUOTE]We’re hoping Exum finally lives up to his lofty hype.

[/QUOTE]

I'll be surprised if he doesn't still suck

3rd contract is the charm eh Wizard? :lol

[QUOTE]The Trail Blazers won’t make this move. They’re not going to trade away a potential All-Star for Sexton and a potential late-first-round draft pick next season. Simmons is a viable 20-point-per-game scorer and giving him up for relatively little isn’t exactly a great thing.

[/QUOTE]

they have a bunch of guards so they might!

[QUOTE]Before we get into the top three, we have to take a second and look at what the former Enes Kanter, now Freedom, did for the Jazz. While he wasn’t able to live up to the hype of a high draft pick, the 2011 third-overall pick did have a solid NBA career. At least on offense. The defensively challenged Kanter/Freedom played four seasons for the Jazz, most of which he came off the bench for. He averaged nine points and five rebounds per game, and while he wasn’t great on defense, there exists a universe where he and Rudy Gobert became a duel tandem much like the Cavs have with Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.

[/QUOTE]

he'd be better spotting up for 3. The problem is he was more of a post player. Makes little sense with Gobert as with Favors

[QUOTE]He came over from Cleveland (why is it always Cleveland?) in 2018 to help the Jazz finish the year with 48 wins for the season. He then stayed in Utah for the next season (’18-’19), where he had 12 points, and five rebounds but was largely ineffective as a scorer. Still, thanks to his impact on the team, the Jazz won 50 games.

[/QUOTE]

the biggest problem was his 8 3 att. a game

[QUOTE][h=2]Kyle Korver[/h][/QUOTE]

Biggest problem was Jerry played him too much and didn't let him fire away from 3. He was doing the mid range curls instead. A waste

[url]https://thejnotes.com/2023/07/26/6-biggest-questions-for-the-utah-jazz-heading-to-training-camp/2/[/url]

[QUOTE][h=2]How will the rookies perform?[/h][/QUOTE]

especially the two we haven't seen yet

[QUOTE][h=2]Who is going to start at point guard?[/h][/QUOTE]

1 choice as the roster stands Sexton

[QUOTE]That still leaves Olynyk, Kessler, Samanic, Potter, Collins, Yurtseven, and Hendricks to fight for three, maybe four slots in the rotation. And if we’re being even more honest, there’s really just one spot up for grabs; as Kessler and Collins are your starters at center and power forward, while Olynyk will be the first big off the bench.

[/QUOTE]

I could see Hendricks off the bench 1st as their Vanderbilt. Samanic or Yurtseven could be in the mix as well I guess

[QUOTE]Maybe he could be the next great NBA center. But he’s got to put in the time to develop those skills, and the Jazz has to be willing to trust him with the ball more. Hopefully, a strong outing with Team USA in the FIBA World Cup will help make running plays for him an easier decision to make.

[/QUOTE]

I doubt he's the next great NBA center
