[QUOTE]The excitement level surrounding the Utah Jazz has reached levels perhaps unknown to a certain generation of Jazz fans. That generation very much includes me, who just turned 27. That means I was just 5 years old when John Stockton hit that fateful shot to send Utah to its first NBA Finals back in 1997. I imagine the frenzy of interest around the team reached its all-time apex at that point, but I was too little then to remember it now.
[/QUOTE]
'88 was the highpoint for me when they had the defending and eventual champs beat before giving it away. Of course they never built on that like they finally have this season.

I guess. Definitley some questions about 10-15 on the roster and whay kind of flexibility they have. All fully guaranteed? competition in camp?

[QUOTE]Arguing about end of bench guys does not always mean you have a good team
I remember a bunch of slcDunk having the same conversation in the early 2010s, when the Jazz were grabbing guys like Jamal Tinsley, Randy Foye, and John Lucas III.
I’m not saying that the team’s in the same position now as they were back then, mostly due to coaching, but saying that end of the bench signings don’t matter as much because the front of the roster is good can come back and bite you.

[QUOTE]Brantley and JWF are going to need developing either on the 2-Way spots, in the G-League, or overseas.
Posted by TheNextGM on Jul 15, 2019 | 12:04 PM[/QUOTE]
Ideally stashed on the Stars. Brantley is the best overall but Oni can probably play a role sooner as a a 3 and D that can handle the ball and make some plays as well. Brantley will have to work on his shooting and the other guy is a gunner that has to show he can play another role besides scorer
Larsen is saying they will bring people in to compete with Howard so not fully guaranteed I guess. If Exum continues to suck please get rid of him though!
Conley/Exum/Mudiay/Goss
Mitchell/O'Neale/Oni
Bogdanovic/Ingles/Howard(partial guarantee?)
Green/Niang
Gobert/Davis/Bradley
two 2 ways and 3 other training camp spots up for grabs still. Hopefully have some flexibility and competition going into camp. They need to be in position at the deadline and after for buyouts to shore up any weaknesses. I like them 1-9.
Oni/Bradley/Goss with the Stars? The two ways might both need to be vet center/PF so Bradley can stay with the Stars

[QUOTE]This would be an excellent low-risk, high-reward signing, and Howard looks like the kind of diamond-in-the-rough player that the Utah Jazz have made a habit of uncovering.
[/QUOTE]
Why does everything they do have to be considered great? You have no idea if this is excellent. If he'd played in summer league it would be one thing. He's French so he replaces Neto as Rudy's bff but can he play? :confusedshrug:
[QUOTE]Thabo Sefolosha and Nic Batum. If he can transition to the NBA even half as well as they did, this is a steal for the Jazz.

they were both young lottery picks I believe. He's not as young or drafted but keep trying to sell it!

yeah since he is on the roster he would be :rolleyes:

shocking that anyone thinks he should have even be considered. Didn't show up until January
[QUOTE]If they're at or near the top of the West, it's a near certainty Mitchell will get his nod this year.

If he makes it and Rudy still doesn't it will be pretty sad. If they are as good as I think they could be they might deserve their big 4 though

[QUOTE]As exciting as the start of filling out the roster was, the Jazz wrapped it up in rather quiet, conservative fashion. They signed their own former second-round draft pick Nigel Williams-Goss who had been playing overseas, the largely unknown (I admittedly had never heard of him) Frenchman William Howard, who had been playing overseas, and the lowest picked player of their second-round selections from this year
[QUOTE]Michael Scotto: The Utah Jazz signed forward Jarrell Brantley and guard Justin Wright-Foreman to two-way contracts.
3 more guys to compete for last spot with the Frenchman I guess?
So Stars will have their 3 picks, maybe Goss and Bradley and the Frenchman? Exum should be on the Stars sadly :rant

[QUOTE]Ben Anderson: Jazz roster is deep and versatile[/QUOTE]
We hear this every year and it hasn't been true since Millsap was here. U like the first 9. Big question marks after that
[QUOTE]The first thing that jumps out is the team is incredibly versatile. Of the 15 signed players, 11 players are proven and capable of playing multiple positions. Only Williams-Goss, Oni, Gobert and Bradley appear positionally limited.
[/QUOTE]
Exum isn't proven. Who else is? I count 9. Goss is a combo guard. Oni is a wing who can handle it too, I could actually see Gobert at the 4 guarding the perimeter if he was with someone that could shoot and protect the rim. Bradley played the 4 with Reed last year. Not sure if he can do it in the NBA but he can play offensively on the perimeter
[QUOTE]Gobert and Bradley are strictly centers, while Oni showed little versatility offensively beyond his ability to shoot the ball. He may be able to defend both backcourt positions in the NBA but struggled with that during his Summer League appearances.
[/QUOTE]
You saw a different Oni and obviously haven't seen much of Bradley either
[QUOTE]Williams-Goss comes in at 6-foot-3 and has a 6-foot-7 wingspan, which should give him the option to play both guard spots. He has a lack of lateral quickness, which may keep him off the floor in general.
[/QUOTE]
but unlike Exum is an actual basketball player not just an athlete trying to play basketball

Tony Jones: One note on Derrick Favors: New Orleans was his preferred destination when it became clear he had to move on. The Jazz did their best to accommodate that when that was communicated to them. Good business on both sides
When I recently asked someone outside the family, someone who would know the details about Sloan, asked how he was doing at age 77, even though I already had been told by others, he said three words.

[QUOTE]Conley bucks the trend of smaller guards that struggle as they age. He posted some of the best offensive numbers of his career last season, and has a variety of skills on that end of the floor that should be very exciting to Utah fans. From the three to the floater, his mastery of the pick and roll to his quick hesitation moves and finishes at the rim, he has really improved as a scorer and should (in theory) be a perfect match next to Donovan Mitchell on that end. Defensively he may struggle a bit as he ages, but as long as health isn
