[QUOTE]Maybe my view is clouded because I’ve spent the last three years watching backup centers like Hassan Whiteside, Udoka Azubuike, aged Derrick Favors and Tony Bradley and have forgotten what it’s like to see a legitimate replacement-level center on a regular basis. Maybe Jones just looks good compared to what I’m used to at this point.
[/QUOTE]
Whiteside sucks but not sure why we need to say shit about the others who have all done more in the NBA and the Jazz than Jones
[QUOTE]But, maybe he’s actually good. He’s got a $2.5 million player option for next season and if he decides to stay with the Jazz rather than test the open market, I think that would be really good for the Jazz’s future.
[/QUOTE]
doubt he's giving up the money. Might be out of the league if he does
[QUOTE]I have two competing thoughts when it comes to Talen Horton-Tucker as a point guard. My first thought is that I understand the appeal with Horton-Tucker’s wingspan and his potential on defense as well as his ability to pressure the rim and beat his man off the dribble. But, it just doesn’t seem like he is a quick enough decision maker or that he reads the defense in the way that a point guard needs to. In short, I don’t think that he should be playing point, despite the appeal.
[/QUOTE]
I'd guess he won't be playing it once Sexton returns. Dunn is one of their best players sadly
[QUOTE]The competing thought though, is that Horton-Tucker is in a tough spot positionally in the NBA. Where does he play if not at point guard? He’s not a shooting guard or enough of a threat from deep to play out on the wing with regularity, and he’s not big enough (6-foot-4) to play deeper into the frontcourt. His chance of having staying power in the NBA is at the point.
[/QUOTE]
with his size and length he could be a small ball center. That might be where he has the best chance of success
[QUOTE] For Kris Dunn, the most important day of 2023 could be March 14. That’s the day Dunn’s second and final 10-day contract with the Utah Jazz will expire and the Jazz will have to make a decision — move forward with Dunn, or let him walk. [URL="https://www.deseret.com/2023/3/8/23624080/utah-jazz-kris-dunn-nba-journey-long-term-deal"]“No matter what happens I’m very appreciative of the Jazz organization for giving me this opportunity to showcase my game,” Dunn said. “I feel like I’ve been doing a good job.”[/URL]

[URL="https://www.deseret.com/2023/3/8/23624080/utah-jazz-kris-dunn-nba-journey-long-term-deal"]“It’s been a beautiful, ugly journey,” Dunn said. “I’ve learned a lot through my experience and that’s the beautiful thing. … And then there’s the ugly parts. I’ve been through the G League, I’ve been waived, I’ve been traded, I’ve had injuries,[/URL] so I’ve seen what the league as a business is about and throughout it I’ve come to understand that it is a business and how to be a pro, on and off the court.”

[URL="https://www.deseret.com/2023/3/8/23624080/utah-jazz-kris-dunn-nba-journey-long-term-deal"]“He came in with a tremendous competitive fire,” Jazz coach Will Hardy said. “You see that on the defensive end of the floor. He really is engaged on that end.[/URL] That part, he came in with. He’s getting more and more comfortable on the offensive end, understanding our system, where his opportunities to score are, what the reads are that he has to make as a primary ballhandler to get his teammates involved, and I think he’s done a better job every game.”

No brainer. One of their best players sadly. I'd look to sign him to a multi year non guaranteed deal. Has yet to have a bad game

[QUOTE]One prospect that would make a lot of sense for the Jazz is Nick Smith Jr. Coming out of high school, Smith was one of the most highly-touted prospects. However, an injury kind of threw his freshman season off at Arkansas. Since his return, though, he’s flashed that potential that got him ranked, at one point, as the No. 1 high school prospect in the 2023 class.
[/QUOTE]
6'5". Says combo guard which would fit next to Sexton. What if they end up with two top 10 picks?
[QUOTE] [URL="https://theathletic.com/4300281/2023/03/13/quin-snyder-exclusive-interview-trae-young/"]“Quin’s a hell of a coach, hell of a person,” Young said after the Hawks swept a key two-game series in D.C.[/URL] over the Wizards last week, giving them a little breathing room over the Raptors and Wizards in the Play-In chase. “I just continue to take it day-by-day. We’re continuing to learn each other. It’s been a great process so far. It’s just the beginning. I know we’re going to win a lot of games here. We’re going to win a lot of games together. So, that’s the plan.”

What did you want to establish with Trae going forward? [URL="https://theathletic.com/4300281/2023/03/13/quin-snyder-exclusive-interview-trae-young/"]I haven’t had a specific agenda. That’s why I felt like being thrown into it with all the guys — with D.J. (Dejounte Murray), with Hunt (De’Andre Hunter), with Trae, you kind of go down the line — just being together and being around each other, those windows that you feel, those things that you think are important, present themselves,[/URL] and then you can talk about them. Whatever that might be. Rather than kind of having a list of things. Let’s experience it first. Let me get to know them, them get to know me, and to the extent that everybody gives each other the benefit of the doubt on trust, until that gets violated in some way — and maybe it will, even unknowingly. But even that is an experience, if you’re transparent about everything, that can help you grow as a team, and grow as a coach.

tell me how great he is when he doesn't make any adjustments for 3 straight playoffs
