looks like Exum and Oni have been recalled

This evaluation revealed a fractured left fibula that was sustained on Nov. 1 at Sacramento. Davis will be reevaluated in four weeks. Further updates will be provided when appropriate.

I think Bradley deserves a shot but:

Except for the last game of the regular season last year when he put up a double double off the bench! :cheers:

[QUOTE]Has Bradley developed enough to where he can at the very least not be a detriment out on the floor if head coach Quin Snyder needs to use him? At 6-foot-10 and 248 pounds, Bradley has shown to be a legitimately good rebounder at the NBA level, and he can score a little bit, too. Can he be good enough defensively if called upon?

Good offensive rebounder, can shoot, has improved defensively

[QUOTE]The loss of Davis greatly hurts a Jazz team that hopes to contend for the top seed in a deep Western Conference. Any loss at all to a team that prided itself on its depth undercuts what they hoped would help set them apart from other, more star-heavy teams.

Deonte Burton is back. Maybe the injuries to the Jazz made them pick him up or maybe they aren't happy with the guys they have now? Someone may have to be cut?

[QUOTE]Admittedly, these results probably look different if the voting had been fully completed before the season started. Conley has been a near-All Star for several years, so it would be surprising if he truly is the 4th most valuable player on the Utah Jazz roster. That being said, he

[QUOTE]If you look at counting stats, Embiid arguably won the individual matchup with 27 points (18 in the first half), 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocked shots. He also shot an impressive 16-for-18 from the free throw line, but only 5-for-16 from the field.

Conley and Green are ones that don't generally get lots of boards so that is great to see. Now Ricky has nothing on Conley besides flopping :lol

[QUOTE]We saw that all last year with teams backing off of Ricky Rubio to make it impossible for Mitchell to get a head of steam to the rim, or space to rise and fire from mid range. Add on to that teams backing off of Crowder and Favors and it was a giant mess.
[/QUOTE]

Who was the genius that ever thought Ricky made any sense? :rant

[QUOTE]Tonight Conley shot 40% from the field and 33% from three. Not numbers that will blow you away, but he was a +19 in a game the Jazz won by two. I know plus/minus is super noisy but that tells you something about how much the Jazz starting unit is benefiting with Conley on the floor. This also tells you that when Conley has big shooting nights, the Jazz are going to be lethal.
[/QUOTE]

I love how there was no mention of the stat as you slobbered all over Mitchell.

[QUOTE]Bradley is never going to be an elite big in the league, and he’ll always be at the disadvantage of unfair perceptions by playing behind the most dominant defensive player in the league, but he’s showing signs of becoming something very solid for Utah in the future. You can do a lot worse with your 3rd center.
[/QUOTE]

Might have to think about him as your backup center. Based on what I've seen so far their 5 starters and Ingles are the core. After that they can look to make this team better. Keep Bradley, Oni and Brantley as the cheap young guys ideally though you might have to use them just to get rid of Exum
