[QUOTE]Who will pick up the scoring slack with Hayward gone?
The most obvious answer is Rodney Hood, who has shown an ability to score during his three years in Utah with a 12.5 scoring average. That

they're in trouble!

[QUOTE]About 30 percent of Hood's shots came in the floater zone between 3 and 16 feet from the rim, a share that ranked in the 90th percentile among wing players, according to research from Ben Falk of Cleaning the Glass. Trade a few of those for drives and 3s, and Utah will have something.[/QUOTE]
He's best in the mid range
[QUOTE]Hood could average 20 per game this season, but will they be the kind of points that lead to winning?[/QUOTE]
not if he's starting

[QUOTE]Depending on how large a role Donovan Mitchell is given, he could also put up a real case for Rookie of the Year honors, and is sure to take home the monthly award from time to time.[/QUOTE]
:wtf:
[QUOTE]with the departure of Gordon Hayward, he is likely to have an increase in playing time as well. With that being the case, Johnson could average between 12-14 points a night off the bench.[/QUOTE]
I doubt it. He's old. Burks is the 6h man. Should be Hood and Burks
[QUOTE]Honorable Mention: Donovan Mitchell. If he is given the chance to be a primary option off the bench, he is capable of scoring 12 points a night.[/QUOTE]
If he can do that he will be the primary option. You have no idea what he can do though
[QUOTE] This is the year where he is going to have to show the Jazz that they did not make a mistake by drafting Exum with the number 5 overall pick in the 2014 draft.[/QUOTE]
Don't think he can change that
[QUOTE]During the playoffs and the summer league, he passed the eye test.[/QUOTE]
He mostly sucked in the playoffs.
[QUOTE]This season, I want to see much more than just numbers from Dante. I want to see him confident. I want him to have a mindset that he get past any defender to get to the rim. I want to see him confidently rise and shoot when he

So they went from willing to pay tax back to the Jazz of old that save money on camp spots! With the G-league team I see absolutely no reason not to have a guy in camp just for the Stars. :wtf:
[QUOTE] Joel Bolomboy, Raul Neto and Royce O'Neale are the three players without fully guaranteed contracts, meaning one of them must be released before the season begins.[/QUOTE]
You wrote one of maybe two articles all summer locally that were realistic and you don't know that O'Neale is fully guaranteed. :rolleyes:
Also they don't have to be released. There could be a trade
