I do like the new sleeved jersey, just cause it reminds me of my footy teams guernsey in the Aussie rules football.

Pick #12 in the draft
Not opposed to trading it at all, but hopefully they can add some more shooting and grab someone like Denzel Valentine or Furkan Korkmaz to the backcourt. Both sound like they've got some ball handling skills too. Both solid size too at 6'6-6'7, so saves playing can't shoot, undersized Burke again.
Can't see Burke on the team.
I think they'll look for a starting guard or at least a rotation player. They do have some cap room to do something with the draft pick but I'd guess they'll wait until free agency starts when there will be more options. Whomever they draft I hope they don't expect him to play at least until later in the season. Exum, Hood and Lyles weren't ready when their rookie seasons started and Hood was a seasoned collegiate even.

[QUOTE]Do they go for someone like Michigan State's Denzel Valentine? He's a versatile wing who the Jazz feel can step in and play right away. Or do the Jazz draft a project like Washington's Marquese Chriss? He is a few years away, but has star upside.
"We definitely feel like there are guys at 12 who can come in and help us right away," Jazz VP of Player Personnel Walt Perrin said. "We'll know a lot more by the time the draft gets closer."

If by right away they mean by the end of next season than that's might be the case. None of Exum, Hood or Lyles were ready at the beginning of their rookie years to play at the NBA level.

They need to add a veteran rotation player regardless of the draft and not necessarily a wing.

Who cares? Kanter had to go. Demarre, Millsap and Matthews are the ones that are tough to see on another team.

[QUOTE]Hood will be heading into his third season with the Jazz and is entrenched as the starting shooting guard, something he earned this past year.[/QUOTE]
Not sure about any of that. The frontcourt is entrenched. The guard spots should be open. Hood had problems after Mack took over the offense. Mack should be the starter until someone proves otherwise. Hood might be better off the bench sharing leadership with Alec. I think Exum or a new vet could start.

[QUOTE]Neto was a rookie starter and at times dazzled, Going from being a starter (as he was in Spain) to being a bench player in the NBA isn't a unique transition. But possibly going from a guy who won games for the team last season (the overtime victory over the [URL="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/chicago-bulls"]Chicago Bulls[/URL] stands out in my mind) to being someone who may only play in garbage time (if Mack and Exum hold things down) is going to be an egregious waste of his talent and time. Neto has a non-guaranteed contract in 2017-2018 and the Jazz would be dumb not to hold onto that. That contract is not equal to his talents. But I do wonder if he's going to be here in the long term.[/QUOTE]
As things stand now he is ahead of Exum if they are really trying to win this year which appears to be the case. Neto plays both ends of the floor. Exum was a defensive specialist. Who knows what he is now? I can certainly see all 3 in the rotation with Exum able to play 3 positions because of his size and they did play Neto and Mack together as well.

Never heard that they had to trade Dominique. Maybe they would have tried to trade Dantley/Griffith for the money if Dominique hadn't forced their hand? I prefer the way it went down. Not a Dominique fan.
Hey Jazz friends. I don't watch too many Jazz games, but I'm surprised you aren't talking up Hood as good as he has looked the few times I got to watch him.
With that said, the Hawks need more scoring / wing help. You all need a point. Just curious of your thoughts of trading Hood away for Teague as the main pieces. Maybe add Withey / 1st for Teague our 1st? Too much in your eyes, a steal, or what? Just my mind wondering while we wait for our 2016-17 teams to be contracted!
Hood's been talked up plenty.
I think eventually they will have to probably trade Hood or Burks. Not sure I would want Teague that bad especially since we haven't even seen Dante for a year. But thanks for Mack! He was a big addition.
