[QUOTE]Mike Conley returned to play on Monday and went 3-of-5 from 3-point range, two of which came off Donovan Mitchell assists. I like that dynamic when the two are in the game together. Let Mitchell have the ball in his hands so that he can create for himself or be the playmaker, and Conley is great at playing off the ball even if that’s not what he’s known for.
[/QUOTE]
too small defensively
[QUOTE]Lineups with Derrick Favors and the Jazz guys that aren’t familiar with him (Jordan Clarkson, MIke Conley, Bojan Bogdanovic) are going to take some time before they look cohesive. That’s not bad, it’s to be expected, but it could look a little wonky for a while. That’s not to say that Favors isn’t good, on the contrary in just two preseason games he’s already proven why bringing him back was a good idea. But it’s going to take a little while for everyone to get used to him.
[/QUOTE]
it will always be wonky. It makes 0 sense
[QUOTE]Joe Ingles was 1-of-5 from deep with just one assist and four fouls, two of which came just to stop a fast break. I can’t completely put my finger on what was going on with him but if nothing else he seemed a little flat. Is it age? Is it the preseason? Is it something else? We’ll see.
[/QUOTE]
He's declined the past two years. Hopefully a move to the bench in the proper role will be enough. Might be time for another extension!

[QUOTE]Udoka Azubuike was questionable to go heading into tonight with knee soreness and that may have impacted his minutes (along with Gobert playing more) as he played just six on the evening and had just two points and two rebounds.
[/QUOTE]
I doubt it had anything to do with it. 3 pre season games. Time to play Rudy more.
[QUOTE]Jazz quietly looking for that next rotation piece on their bench and they have several options. Excited to see them develop and really wish we could’ve won the summer league title this year.

[QUOTE][h=4]Forrest has some interesting potential[/h]
Based on his college career, he really can’t shoot. And that limits what he can accomplish as a shooting guard. But he looks really good in many other areas, so definitely worth bringing in. If the Jazz can straighten out his shot in the G-League he could be a useful player next year.

[/QUOTE]
putting the work in. Ingles wasn't a great defender or shooter right off
[QUOTE]Bogie really, really is Klay Thompson-lite. His ability to pull up in transition is deadly and his spot-up shooting is just unreal. He happens to be meh defensively, a horrible dribbler, a terrifying passer, so the lightest of Klay Thompson-lites. But his ability to shoot it and kill a team that doesn’t stay attached to him will bury teams in 20-4 runs. He’s shooting guard Kevin Love until he’s not.
-Is Devin Booker impressive? Or is he a great stats/bad team guy that everybody is convinced is a star who just needs better players around him to win? I’m curious what others think, because I find him to be wowwing with the ball and completely meh in his impact. Can he win games singlehandedly by getting hot? Sure. But that’s only impressive if you can turn it on and lead your team to winning more often than not. Even when Kevin Love was Minny Love, he got his and the T-Wolves nearly always sucked. I think DB is closer to leading a shitty team to 30-ish wins than he is to leading an ok team to 41. I’m not sold.
-Q did some interesting stuff with the Gobert/Favors pairing. Seemed like he picked spots where Phoenix had two non-shooters on the court, no matter the positions. He put Favors on Bridges and basically packed the paint. It worked on defense but it was a struggle to score in those minutes, unsurprisingly.
-Joe Ingles’ decisions in this game were awful. He played like shit all game.
-When the Jazz exploded in the third, there was this moment that showed how offensively devastating this team can be. Conley and Bogie were cooking and we were up like 12-15 or whatever. The ball was pinging around and the Suns were scrambling on seemingly every possession. They finally had an ok possession with the shot clock winding down, Donovan flattened the entire offense and then buried a one-on-one three. What do you do with a team that gets each other involved and the can also crush you isolation?
Ugly first half with great d. Fun third. Didn’t watch the fourth. Hope Ed Davis, Jeff Green, and Dante Exum played real well in those minutes. I’m rooting for all of them.

[/QUOTE]
if Bogie's defense and other issues don't kill them and they are on the wrong side of those runs. Not sold on the Suns period. Paul gives them a chance but they've done nothing yet. Again offense won't be their problem except when Favors is spotting up in the corner.

[QUOTE]Instead of overreacting to the playoff disappointment and making a bunch of changes, the Jazz focused on retaining their own players and they brought home an old friend.
[/QUOTE]
per usual :facepalm
[QUOTE]The Jazz are also welcoming back Derrick Favors. After going small around Rudy Gobert up front, and mixing and matching backup minutes, Utah now has both of those issues solved. If the team wants to go big up front, they can start Favors, and he’ll slide right back into his “starting power forward, backup center” role that he had for years. If the Jazz want to stay small with Bojan Bogdanovic at the four, Favors will still see plenty of time as the primary backup big.
[/QUOTE]
problem solved new.old problem returns
[QUOTE]While re-signing Clarkson and adding Favors are nice moves, the most important thing Utah did this offseason was to reach a five-year, maximum contract extension with Mitchell. He’s become one of the best guards in the NBA in his short career and after seeing previous franchise player Gordon Hayward leave town, the Jazz couldn’t afford to risk losing Mitchell.
[/QUOTE]
potentially one of the best guards. Shooting a lot doesn't make you one
[QUOTE]All the pieces are in place for the Jazz to be a very good team. They go at least eight deep in quality rotation players. They’ve got All-Stars in Mitchell and Gobert, and a healthy Bogdanovic isn’t far off. Health will be a key, as an injury to a key player is tough to overcome given the depth of the Western Conference. Look for Utah to be in the mix for homecourt advantage and to try to finally make that deep playoff run that’s avoided them for years.

[QUOTE]For now, Hughes looks like he’s going to have enough skill offensively to make the NBA, and that’s a big win for a player drafted in the second round.
[/QUOTE]
taking shots doesn't mean you can play. He's going to have to show he can hit 3's minimum
[QUOTE]There’s a good reason for Forrest’s low field goal attempt total as he shot just 24 percent from the three-point line in college, but if he continues to score efficiently at the rim and draw free-throws at a high rate (2.5 attempts per game) he might not be a total negative on the floor as a scorer.

[QUOTE][B]Guarding in space. [/B]But perhaps the most important development to his game has been an improved ability to guard in space. Teams have tried to use switches and small lineups to make Gobert uncomfortable in the past, especially in the protracted chess match that is a playoff series. But as he has grown more elite at guarding switches and isos, it’s no longer wise for guards to hunt Gobert.
[/QUOTE]
never was
[QUOTE]A team with cap space could offer him 4/$144M in free agency, so the Jazz have to compete with that number, at least mentally. It’s not a sure thing that someone will have that offer waiting for him next summer, and some of will depend on whether star free agents like Leonard and Chris Paul stay put instead of soaking up finite amount of team’s cash under the cap. Antetokounmpo, Paul George and others already opted out of 2021 free agency, so Gobert could be a top-3 free agent in a year with probably six or more teams projecting to have cap space. That makes 4/$144M a pretty good reference point for what Gobert may regard as the bird in the bush as he weighs whatever Utah is currently offering.
[/QUOTE]
Paul isn't getting more than him
[QUOTE]Frankly, there’s enough middle ground here that it’s hard to imagine them not getting a deal done this month. Of course, that’s moot if Gobert just wants to try a new basketball situation, but if he’s earnest about his desire to continue his title chase in Utah, the Jazz can easily offer enough money to help justify that choice and far exceed his other options. It will probably require Utah to stay in the supermax territory — somewhere between 30% and 35% — but it doesn’t feel like they’ll need to go all the way to $227M to keep their All-NBA center.
[/QUOTE]
If he's smart he'll leave. If they are trying to pay him less than the 144 mill or less than Mitchell than I'd say screw you!
[QUOTE]If a deal doesn’t get done by December 21, it doesn’t mean the relationship is inevitably ending. The Jazz can still extend him to a lower figure later or throw the same Brinks truck worth of max money at him next summer. But at that point they do have to start thinking about whether he is as committed to a joint future as he has publicly suggested. Trading a top-15 player would be a devastating blow for a team that is poised on the brink of true contention; Utah will probably only resort to that if they calculate that it’s very likely they’ll lose him next summer without getting a return package.
[/QUOTE]
Looks like they are ready for life without him with Favors and Udoka. Good luck with that! :roll:
[QUOTE]We love to decide what players’ “ceilings” are. Gobert is a perfect example of why that’s silly. He entered the NBA in 2013 as a raw, skinny late first-rounder who spent that first season shuttling back and forth between the Jazz and their (then) D-League affiliate, under a coach who hadn’t really caught the vision of what he could become. If we had collectively decided at that point what the arbitrary limit was on how good he could be, we certainly would have guessed very wrong.
[/QUOTE]
not sure anyone had an idea of who he could become until December 2014 when it happened suddenly
[url]https://www.slcdunk.com/the-downbeat-latest-jazz-news/2020/12/15/22175677/deron-williams-thoughts-on-the-utah-jazz[/url]
[QUOTE]Most favorite part in this clip is Deron Williams realizing that he’s taller than Donovan Mitchell. With how high Spida can play above the rim I can certainly see how it would be easy to assume that he’s taller than he really is. I agree Deron, his bounce is stupid! DWill thinks the Jazz are probably still 1 piece away. Can Mike Conley be that piece now? Deron wants to see him be more aggressive!
[/QUOTE]
need a starting 4 for starters. Mitchell needs to be the player he's is now being paid to be and hyped to be
[QUOTE]The way Deron’s face lights up when they say AK-47 made me smile. Andrei Kirilenko would be an absolute beast in today’s NBA. Instead of being a “tweeter” his versatility would be such an asset. There are few player’s from Utah’s past that I would want to add to this current roster more than Andrei.
[/QUOTE]
not a great fit spacing wise.
[QUOTE]Alright, last one I’ll focus on. The Exit. “I kind of led them to believe I was going to leave.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that’s the first time I’ve heard DWill say that outright. It’s not necessarily surprising given what happened, but that trade sure makes a lot more sense now. It was less jettisoning the guy that pushed the hall of fame coach out the door and more getting something for your star before he leaves for nothing. “You don’t appreciate stuff until it’s gone.” Like we all know, Deron likely would have handled his last year in Utah very differently in retrospect. He lost quite a few games for the Nets and played for 4 coaches in 3.5 years. After spending his entire career in a very successful Jerry Sloan system. He says he even lost confidence, something I wouldn’t have thought possible out of DWill.
[/QUOTE]
too bad they took the only offer on the table instead of shopping him. Favors spotting up from 3!
[QUOTE]I still reminisce about those DWill teams. At his UTA peak, I think there was a legitimate debate whether DWill or CP3 was a better PG (CP3 was better, but there was a debate). Amazing how DWill quickly faded after leaving UTA (1 really good season) and retired three years ago while CP3 is still making all-star games.
There was some deserved criticism of DWill after he was traded, but to his credit, he matured a lot (compared to some players who leave that continue to dog on Utah, either the city;) or the franchise). DWill seems like a pretty good guy and it’s fun to hear him talk.
And of all the former jazz players, AK is the one I want to see play in the modern league the most. Stockton and Malone are the UTA GOATs and no doubt would be amazing today, but AK’s skills are so unique and perfect for the modern game–almost like a very very good version of Draymond.

[QUOTE]Elijah Hughes could impress as a rookie, he just needs the chance
[/QUOTE]
Get in line, hit 3's and play D! Not sure why every year a supposedly deep Jazz team is supposed to have rookies playing immediately when none have been ready under Snyder. Especially 2nd round pucks who rarely are here more than a year. They obviously had a t least 3 too many rookies a year ago instead of the vet depth they so badly needed since Snyder for some reason wouldn't play rookies like usual
[QUOTE][I]Hughes has great role player potential that will probably be buried in Utah’s depth chart[/I]
[/QUOTE]
not as good as wright Forman until he proves otherwise
[QUOTE]Whether Hughes plays shooting guard or small forward (his former college coach said he’s primarily a two-guard), the depth chart in Utah is filled nearly to the brim on the wing. Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson have a stranglehold on the shooting guard spot with Bojan Bogdanovic, Joe Ingles and Royce O’Neale taking up most of the small forward minutes. On top of all that, second-year guard Miye Oni appears to be in line to inherit the remaining minutes Hughes might have been able to nab.
[/QUOTE]
With his length he's a 2 unless the Jazz continue with their 3 small guard lineups of course. Let's not forget the gleague player of the year as much as the Jazz seemingly want to for whatever reason
[QUOTE]The lack of available minutes is a crying shame because of the potential Hughes has to be an immediate positive contributor on the wing.
[/QUOTE]
Why is it a shame? If a rookie is playing it's likely not a good thing
[QUOTE]To no one’s surprise (among those who at least glanced at Hughes’ college stat sheet) Hughes’ biggest potential area of impact is scoring and shooting. However, he’ll need to heavily adjust to a less ball-dominant role. Last year, Hughes ranked third in the NCAA in total isolation possessions per Synergy Sports. Those ISO’s made up 23.5 percent of his offensive diet.
[/QUOTE]
34% from 3 is not shooting. Clarkson wannabe oh joy!
[QUOTE]Luckily for all parties involved, there’s statistical evidence to show Hughes is capable of making the adjustment to being an off-ball wing thanks to his proficiency as a 3-point shooter. His 34.2 overall percent isn’t highly encouraging, but his isolation 3-point attempts really drag that percentage down (Hughes shot 22 percent on ISO threes). On spot-ups last year Hughes made 38.1 percent of his downtown attempts. In transition, that mark is all the way up at 41.2 percent and he took those transition triples in decently high volume (51 attempts all year, 1.6 per game). His shooting chops on hand-off and off screens is a little harder to extrapolate due to low sample size (7 of 21 on both combined for the season). The likelihood is that Hughes is viable as a catch-and-shoot wing, but the on-the-move shots of more adept shooters is probably out of reach in his rookie season (which is perfectly OK).
[/QUOTE]
that looks better but what we've seen is he wants to shoot anytime he touches it
[QUOTE]All of this isn’t to say Hughes is some hidden gem of a superstar that the Jazz lucked upon. He has some weaknesses, he had a poor record of finishing at the rim in college (he’s 5 of 6 so far in preseason so fingers crossed we’ll see more of that). That and his defense thus far in the preseason has been suspect. But if he improves in those areas then maybe he could push toward a fringe all-star level of play. The fact is that Hughes has some potential as a high-level off-ball scoring guard that could help the Jazz even in Year 1. It’s just a shame we probably won’t see what Hughes is really capable of until next year or beyond.
[/QUOTE]
another guy that can't finish and is a fringe all star! 2nd rounders rarely last long with the Jazz. Most 1st's don't. Guess you need to write something and fill the website
[QUOTE][h=4]Hopefully our killer offense and improved defense will give our end-of-the-bench guys time to develop[/h]
I can see us blowing out quite a few teams this year, which would allow Dok, Hughes and Forrest to all get quite a bit of playing time. If they continue to dominate the other team’s bench (as we have seen in preseason) Q will be more likely to use them in the rotation when guys need a rest game, or are out for COVID protocol. All in all, I think we will be seeing a lot more of all of them this year.

That's 20 again and might be it but they could easily cut a non guaranteed deal or exhibit 10 which they probably will. So 10 guaranteed deals?, 2 two ways, 4 non guaranteed?, 4 exhibit 10's?, 2 free agents from last years team. I imagine any hope for Mudiay is now gone. Could still use at least one more vet ideally. They obviously don't think as much of Oni and Morgan as has been reported. Might as well get some vets. Have enough young guys that won't play already especially if no Stars though it sounds like they will play in the bubble for a little while anyway.
