So Jensen isn't part of Snyder's staff than?

I reckon Kanter will be on the block, they've talked about wanting to play Favors at the 5.

I think he is, I'm just assuming he means that other teams might make him a better offer or as a head associate or whatever they call the #1 assistant now

They think Favors is a 5, We'll see what the new coach thinks. I'd think they'll go into camp and see if they can make it work. He'll be gone by the deadline I'd imagine if they can't.

Stokes is early 2nd.

Oh yea, I'm sure they're not going to go out and make the first deal that comes along, but it does give them a decent chip to put in their pot along with their draft picks if they choose to make a move.
[QUOTE]Jones is expected to be retained as an assistant coach on the Jazz staff, according to sources. Jones, the nephew of Jerry Sloan, spent the past two seasons as an assistant and player development director in Utah. He was a regional scout for the Jazz from 2001-07 before a successful coaching stint with the now-defunct Utah Flash through 2010.[/QUOTE]
and also the Spurs connection
[QUOTE]Former University of Utah standout Alex Jensen could also be promoted from his position as player development coach to a full-time assistant on Snyder's staff, according to sources.
Jensen has been leading Utah's pre-draft workouts with Johnnie Bryant, also likely to be retained on staff, after being retained following Corbin's dismissal. It's possible other teams will try to snatch Jensen, mentored by the late Rick Majerus as an assistant at St. Louis and the 2013 D-League coach of the year, but the Centerville native is highly regarded by the Jazz organization.[/QUOTE]
You'd think a veteran NBA coach to fill out the staff would be nice.
[QUOTE]The next process for Snyder will be to familiarize himself with the Salt Lake City community and Jazz organization, which is preparing for the important June 26 draft. In fact, the team will host two workouts following Saturday's press conference.[/QUOTE]
I'd think preparing for the draft and next season would come first. The community stuff will come if he does his job good.
[QUOTE]Snyder will also be tasked to handpick assistants to fill out his Jazz bench.
"Quin Snyder, welcome to the Utah Jazz family," Jazz CEO Greg Miller wrote on his Twitter account Friday night. "I'm looking forward to working with you to build our team into a championship contender."
Jazz president Randy Rigby said the organization's thorough search elicited "overwhelmingly positive feedback regarding Quin from some of the most respected basketball minds in the game."
The 47-year-old Snyder has played for and worked with Mike Krzyzewski at Duke, but he became a national coaching star while guiding the Missouri Tigers from 1999-2006. He's been an NBA assistant on multiple occasions, including with Larry Brown (Clippers), Mike Brown (Lakers) and the Hawks' Mike Budenholzer last season.[/QUOTE]
There's some defensive minds there. What about offense?
[QUOTE]"We are extremely happy for Quin and his family," Budenholzer, Lindsey's friend from their Spurs jobs, said in a statement. "He played an instrumental role within our coaching staff and team. This is a great opportunity for him and we wish the best."
Snyder, first reported as a lead candidate by the Deseret News, held multiple positions on Krzyzewski's staff from 1993-99, including associate head coach. His Missouri coaching days were filled with Elite Eight success in 2002 followed by bumpy times, including the program being placed on probation for minor NCAA violations.
From there, Snyder returned to the professional ranks, beginning with a three-year stint with the Toros. Since then, he has toiled as the Sixers' player development coach (2010-11), as a Laker assistant (2011-12), on Ettore Messina's staff at CSKA Moscow (2012-13) and with the Hawks (2013-14).
Snyder received multiple votes of confidence from former Jazz players on Atlanta. Forward DeMarre Carroll, who's credited Quin for helping his footwork, shot and overall game, tweeted, "Big (shout out) to my friend/coach Quin Snyder on getting the Utah Jazz job. #Jazznation you all have gotten a great COACH. Trust me!!! ##blessed."
All-Star Paul Millsap also gave Snyder some public love on Twitter, congratulating him and adding, "The Jazz are getting a great coach and person."[/QUOTE]
Demarre was certainly better this year. Maybe Snyder will want them back? :rockon:
[QUOTE]Snyder also received high praise from former NBA coach Doug Collins, his boss in Philly who once told USA Today that he's "one of the best basketball minds I've ever been around."
"He has an impressive basketball pedigree, including more than a decade of head coaching experience that positions him well to succeed in the Jazz organization," Miller added. "We look forward to Quin
