Better, for the AIS coaches, meant three early targets of focus for Ingles: individual defensive footwork, shooting and physical development.

2 of 3 isn't bad!

[QUOTE]When the Jazz traded for Ricky Rubio on July 1 last season, nobody really knew what to expect. It was a move made to replace an outgoing George Hill, who had played the point guard position for the Jazz the prior season and was an excellent fit when healthy. It was a move intended to help convince Gordon Hayward to stay in Utah. Obviously, it didn

The Swagger. Ricky Rubio has a confidence and swagger like few possess. He may have gotten off to a rough start, but wow was the ending worth it. He was crucial in leading the team to an unexpected comeback last season. He became more comfortable with his 3 point shooting, despite the odds saying that would never happen. The Spanish Samari has the flare necessary to receive the Han Solo comp.

He has mental issues. Confident?

[QUOTE]The Sidekick. Much like Boba Fett, Raul has become quite the fan favorite despite not playing a very big role. Is it the looks? Is it his rookie season where he surprisingly started 53 and played pretty well. Is it his bromance with Rudy Gobert? Who knows, but I

Still, in his limited regular season action and especially in an incredible Game 2 performance in the second round of the playoffs against the Houston Rockets, he showed just what a force he can be. If he remains healthy, as he finds his groove and establishes a role on this Jazz team, I expect him to take major strides throughout the season, growing into a dominant force for the Utah bench.

A guy that has never even shown flashes of being dominant outside of Summer League will be dominant? Why not start a little lower like just being a non liability at the offensive end by taking and making some 3's?

In the playoffs, Mitchell upped his personal ranking to second on the team, averaging 4.2 assists per game.

He needs to be first. The ball should be in his hands and running pick and roll with Gobert with shooters around them. Be unstoppable!

[QUOTE]Adam Johnson: Because some have inquired re: Bazley, he MUST go through the G League Draft to play in the upcoming NBAGL season. He cannot sit out and wait to sign in until a team of his choice sits atop the waiver order. This rule applies to all players who have not been through NBA Draft.
