[QUOTE]It’s difficult to properly evaluate a team like the Jazz when they haven’t been able to compete in a postseason at full health. No one knows how deep a run the Jazz might have made if the full squad had been able to play together the last two postseasons. For all we know, things might have ended the same way.
[/QUOTE]
pretty sure they would have reached the next round if they'd had a coach that would've made adjutments
[QUOTE]When asked about the possibility of resting players more and opening up the rotation, Snyder pointed out that the Jazz did rest Conley in back-to-backs last season, the Jazz are not alone in using a nine-man rotation, the Jazz rarely held game-day shootarounds, and that the health and performance staff are experts in their fields with the best interest of the players in mind at all times.

[QUOTE]As currently constructed, the Jazz [URL="https://thejnotes.com/2021/08/10/utah-jazz-free-agency-3-guards-rotation/"]may be left wanting for a fourth rotational guard.[/URL] Rookie Jared Butler enters the 2021-22 season with plenty of promise, but leaning on rookies is typically not a recipe for success for a team vying for the NBA championship.

So did it all work? Did the Jazz get what they wanted out of their Vegas trip? “It almost forces you to kind of hang out and spend time together,” Joe Ingles said. “Obviously, like the bubble, which was a very similar feeling, obviously, to this.” The newer players started to get a feel for their teammates and picked up on some of their tendencies while also getting a deeper understanding of their personalities.

[QUOTE]Now in Utah, Paschall has a chance to redirect his carer on a Jazz roster that may rely heavily on him on the wing.
[/QUOTE]
not a wing right?
[QUOTE]Coming into training camp, it was difficult to see where Paschall might find minutes on the floor, showing up as the 10th man in the Jazz nine-man rotation.
[/QUOTE]
he should have to earn the 10th man but he is bff
[QUOTE]With Gay out over the four preseason contests, Paschall could assume his role, a strong indicator that his role is dependent on Gay’s availability throughout the season. Considering Gay is entering his 15th year in the NBA, is coming off offseason surgery, and has played fewer than 70 games in eight of his last 11 seasons, there should still be ample opportunity for the forward to see the floor if he’s used primarily as emergency depth at the forward position
[/QUOTE]
hard to imagine him not assuming the role
[QUOTE]However, Snyder could also use Paschall alongside the Jazz’s bigger forwards or at the center position, testing out the team’s ability to go very big, or very small for short stretches on the floor.
[/QUOTE]
don't expect that
[QUOTE]During his rookie season, Paschall played the majority of his minutes at the power forward position but was more effective while playing at the three. Due to the Warriors roster make up last season, the newest Jazzman saw almost no minutes at the three which may have been partially to blame for his drop in production.
[/QUOTE]
3 through 5 I guess. I'd expect him at the 4 for the Jazz even though it looks like his worst spot

[QUOTE]Without question, it’s a dilemma. However, is Utah Jazz guard [URL="https://thejnotes.com/2021/08/23/utah-jazz-donovan-mitchell-compete-mvp/"]Donovan Mitchell[/URL] a particularly notable culprit? The numbers suggest otherwise.

[QUOTE] [URL="https://www.si.com/nba/mavericks/news/source-dallas-mavericks-trade-trey-burke-covid-issue-news-luka-doncic"]The Dallas Mavericks, NBA sources tell DallasBasketball.com, want to trade Trey Burke.[/URL] And in addition to the usual trade complications and stumbling blocks that might come with any trade idea, in play here is the fact that Burke, who has demonstrated himself to be at times an explosive scoring point guard, is still “studying” whether he wants to vaccinated against COVID. Medical facts? We won’t go there. Transactional facts? We know for a fact that in the NFL, if you are a street free agent looking for work, the first question prospective employers ask you is, “Are you vaccinated against COVID?” And if your answer is unsatisfactory, said NFL team will not sign you.

The Mavs would have to eat money to release him, but why would they retain a non-vaccinated “threat”? What is the down-side cost of that? So, let newcomer Frank Ntilikina serve as the new deep backup to Luka Doncic at the 1, and swap out Burke. But to whom? Exactly which NBA team wants to swap to Dallas some value for a third-string point guard … with a non-vaxx status that might render him unavailable?

[QUOTE] [h=1]Can Trent Forrest have an expanded role for the Utah Jazz this season?[/h]
[/QUOTE]
he's on a two way and is probably now behind Butler as well so no
[QUOTE]Barring significant injuries for Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell and Joe Ingles (fingers crossed), Forrest will probably have limited opportunities this season. He’ll be able to play some minutes when the core players are resting, might get some time in blowouts, but he’ll pretty much be at the end of the bench.
[/QUOTE]
he'll pretty much be with the Stars because of his contract
[QUOTE]The Jazz obviously aren’t putting all their eggs in one basket. There’s competition at the position with rookie Jared Butler, but Forrest sees the competition as something that can make him stronger.
[/QUOTE]
and Oni was ahead of him most of the year as long as multiple guys weren't out :facepalm
[QUOTE]One of the most important things that players such as Forrest or even Butler and Elijah Hughes, Udoka Azubuike and Miye Oni can learn is patience. Because even though there are slow years and limited opportunities in the NBA, no career lasts forever, and for those that can stay committed to getting better, there’s a possibility that a door can open right in front of you.
[/QUOTE]
good luck with COTY
[url]https://thejnotes.com/2021/10/02/utah-jazz-ranking-important-players/[/url]
[QUOTE]That’s because the Utah Jazz rostered both the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year in [URL="https://thejnotes.com/2021/08/11/utah-jazz-contend-nba-1-condition/"]Jordan Clarkson[/URL], and the league’s runner-up in Joe Ingles. Between Quin Snyder’s platoon of wings and guards, the designation of starter is almost arbitrary.
[/QUOTE]
unfortunately it's not. The starters play the most minutes. Ingles might close instead of someone
[QUOTE]Bojan Bogdanovic made a strong contribution to the Jazz’s ability to hoist so many deep balls. He managed 6.4 attempts per contest, drilling an efficient 39.0% of those attempts. Furthermore, Bogey willingly played the role of pure floor-spacer, as a remarkable 96.1% of those made threes were assisted-on.
[/QUOTE]
ahead of Royce? :roll:
[QUOTE]If you’re still picking your jaw up off the floor from Ingles’ placement, here’s a spoiler: there won’t be any more surprises to be found here.
[/QUOTE]
bet there is. Conley was ahead of Mitchell and most NBA players last year
[QUOTE]We’ll compare him to Donovan Mitchell, as a comparison between Conley Jr and Rudy Gobert veers too closely into apples/oranges territory. Over 2020-21, Conley Jr.’s BPM was significantly higher than Mitchell’s, at 4.4 to 3.5. Meanwhile, Mitchell barely edged the veteran floor general in VORP, at 2.5 to 2.4. Mitchell did enjoy a significant advantage in PER, at 21.3 to 19.2, but again, PER is a metric that particularly favors players who rack up basic counting stats.
[/QUOTE]
so why is Mitchell ahead when he wasn't?
[QUOTE]Here’s where we willingly throw away the advanced metrics: we already know Donovan Mitchell is the most important player on the Utah Jazz.
[/QUOTE]
we do? Why did they still win without Mitchell and or/Conley? They've never won without Gobert and would be a lottery team if he went down
[QUOTE]That’s the weight a player carries with a team-leading 26.4 points per game. As valuable as Gobert’s rim protection, Conley Jr.’s IQ, Ingles’ versatility and Bogdanovic’s floor-spacing are to this squad, the game, as they say, is ultimately about a bucket.
[/QUOTE]
and the offense revolves around Gobert
[QUOTE]There’s not a player on this roster Quin Snyder is more likely to turn to in pursuit of one. Furthermore, Mitchell isn’t just the player whose most important to the Jazz’s present, he’s also [URL="https://thejnotes.com/2021/08/23/utah-jazz-donovan-mitchell-compete-mvp/"]the most important player to their future[/URL].
[/QUOTE]
that you could argue
[QUOTE]The depth of this Utah Jazz team makes them a challenging proposition for any opposing defense. It’s notable that in this ranking of the five most important players on the roster, we did not include reigning Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson, or 3-and-D glue guy Royce O’Neale. Quin Snyder’s top 7 players should be the envy of teams across the National Basketball Association.

[QUOTE]This isn’t to suggest the Jazz were unworthy of their lofty record or that they were merely lucky to find so much success. However, it’s safe to say that terrible things won’t happen to ALL of their top competitors in the Western Conference next season, which will certainly complicate the path to getting that No. 1 seed back for a second straight season.
[/QUOTE]
Murray, Klay and Kawai are still out. Lebron has been hurt the past 3 years and Davis is always hurt. Paul has had his share. So not really safe to say
[QUOTE]As great as Donovan Mitchell and the rest of their high-scoring guards and wings are, it remains to be seen if they have an answer for elite offenses. The Jazz were exposed by the Clippers as guards like Reggie Jackson and Terrence Mann devastated them inside with drives to the basket, once again raising questions about how effective Gobert can really be in the playoffs.
[/QUOTE]
Gobert can't stop a team by himself. The questions should start with their coach and the guys around Gobert
[QUOTE]Make no mistake, the Utah Jazz are going to be formidable, but the Lakers look like just too much if they can stay healthy. Given the depth they added in the offseason, the Lakers are the team to beat in the West. The Jazz, unfortunately, are not.

it's been that way with anyone behind Rudy
[QUOTE]Butler and Pascall to me are the key to the season. If Butler can be a regular rotation guy for 10 minutes a game as the season progresses, that really helps prevent Ingles and Conley from playing too much and limiting injuries and exhaustion. And if Pascall can come in and bring a spark off the bench with elite driving skills and guard bigger guys, then that really gives the Jazz some options (assuming Snyder actually tinkers with the lineups as I am hoping he will at least a little - crossing fingers)[/QUOTE]
