[QUOTE]David Locke, host of the Locked on Jazz podcast, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and the Jazz NBA Insider, recently released a podcast where he stated that he believes Sefolosha and Ingles will likely split the minutes at the small forward position 50/50.[/QUOTE]

Sefolosha is a defensive specialist only. Bring the one starter who can shoot off the bench? :coleman:

[QUOTE]We need to overcome the notion that being a starter means you are the better player.[/QUOTE]

exactly. Rodney Hood is a bench player not a go to guy! Could be a great 6th man though

[QUOTE]One of the biggest advantages to starting Sefolosha over Ingles, is he can wear down the elite NBA wings before Ingles takes over. In the West alone, we have Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Jimmy Butler. At 6-foot-7, with a 7-foot-2 wingspan, he is better built to handle the top scorers in the NBA.[/QUOTE]

They'll be resting on the other end though.

[QUOTE]This is the main reason why I would like to see Joe Ingles coming off the bench. Our primary backup guards are going to be Donovan Mitchell and Dante Exum.[/QUOTE]

You hope anyway.

[QUOTE]With that being the case, it makes sense to have them paired with a player who knows the system and can spend time handling the point guard duties.[/QUOTE]

If they can't handle it. Neto, Hood, Burks, Johnson etc. can

[QUOTE] While Sefolosha is a respected veteran and a solid rotational player, pairing him with Mitchell and Exum would make our bench worse and would potentially put too large of a role on the shoulders of Mitchell and Exum.[/QUOTE]

Mitchell and Exum need tobe on the bench if they aren't ready. Simple really

[QUOTE]With Sefolosha starting, the projected lineup is Rubio, Rodney Hood, Sefolosha, Derrick Favors and Rudy Gobert. The only above-average shooter in the group would be Hood.[/QUOTE]

Debatable if Hood is above average

[QUOTE]For their part, the folks at ********* have the Jazz band taking a big step backward. After winning the Northwest Division last season, HH has the Wolves, Nuggets, OKC and even the Portland Trail Blazers usurping Rudy Gobert and Utah in

[QUOTE]Utah Jazz newcomer Jonas Jerebko should have a heightened opportunity in his new role and it will be entirely up to him to take advantage of it.[/QUOTE]

5th big

[QUOTE]Jerebko will be utilized in Utah as a stretch-four who can help extend Utah

[QUOTE]Ricky Rubio has found his ideal fit in the Utah Jazz. [/QUOTE]

His ideal fit would be 4 shooters around him. Same with Gobert, Favors and most of the Jazz team sadly

[QUOTE]Hill could never get a tight grasp on the team in which he could have been the general.[/QUOTE]

He was the leader

[QUOTE]Hill

[QUOTE]Howard Eisley[/QUOTE]

like most of John's backups he sucked! :rolleyes:

[QUOTE]While on the topic. Donovan is one of the lone bright spots of the offseason[/QUOTE]


But the wizard! :confusedshrug:

[QUOTE]These may just end up as some of the best jerseys in Utah Jazz history.[/QUOTE]

not saying much

[QUOTE]Which of these players is most likely to be cut from the Utah Jazz roster? (Assuming no trades are made)
Raul Neto
Royce O

[QUOTE]Just as Van Gundy had the word of Pistons owner Tom Gores that it was OK to wade into luxury tax territory to retain Caldwell-Pope, he expects the same marching orders next summer to keep Bradley.

[QUOTE]The Utah Jazz announced today that the team has hired Mike Elliott as Vice President of Performance Health Care. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not announced. In this newly created role, Elliott will lead all of the Jazz

[QUOTE]The Jazz have 11 games on national TV this season: two on TNT, five on ESPN and four scheduled on NBATV. [/QUOTE]

When good no tv. When bad many games. :wtf:

[QUOTE]The season begins with 10 out of the first 14 games at home, giving fans an early look at the renovations completed to Vivint Arena. Then, the Jazz travel on the road frequently in December, including a six-game road trip visiting some of the NBA's best teams, such as Cleveland and Houston.[/QUOTE]

Looks like their hopes should be dashed by January

Sounds like this might be the best thing they've done since drafting Rudy. The Suns are known for being the best and this guy was leading the charge!

Every team plays 4 teams in their conference only 3 times. The 4 the Jazz play 3 times are Dallas, Memphis, Sacramento and Lakers. (1/2)
