    Guys have to remember that winning and the team are paramount. There are going to be a lot of factors that go into lineups and matchups. Our group understands that."
    we'll see!

    The wing rotation feels clear (Hill, Hood and Hayward start, backed up by Exum, Burks and Johnson,)
    Considering how good Mack and to a lesser extent Neto were I don't see it being that clear.

    but the big rotation much less so. Assuredly Derrick Favors and Gobert will start, but will Quin Snyder pull one relatively early to stretch the floor and ensure one of them is always playing?
    I'd guess he won;t worry about it as much as last year but it depends on how the reserves play together. Booker/Lyles sucked together!

    Will Lyles play see 20-25 minutes as third big, or will Boris Diaw, um, eat into them? Is Jeff Withey (who advanced stats loved last year) assured a spot as the fourth big who anchors the second unit defense?
    Withey won't play! Deal him!

    Imagine if Jeff Withey came out with his usual impressive defense and was hitting consistent mid-range jumpers.
    hit them last year better than any big not named Lyles

    According to Lyles, a primary objective this summer has been to change his body. In addition to his skill work, the second-year pro has been swimming and working extensively with weights. He has also assembled a close-knit team of experts to help him along the way.
    Good! He certainly needed to at least get toned.

    While Hood considers himself equal to the challenge and is coming off a summer in which he worked hard on his game with teammate Shelvin Mack in Atlanta
    That's interesting. He didn't play well with Mack last year and they could be fighting for time ultimately

    He's 6-6, long, his shot has started to develop a lot now, he can get to the basket, very good court vision.
    encouraging

    Hood, by the way, is excited to have Johnson around. "It's a great feeling to have that mentor type of guy that I haven't had for my first couple years," Hood said.
    Who needs mentors when you can have all young guys!

    Shelvin Mack, too, raved about the example of Johnson. Hood, Mack and Johnson all worked out together in Atlanta during the summer, where they saw firsthand the effort it requires from Johnson to stay strong going into his 16th year in the NBA.
    Maybe Shelvin can actually play with these guys after all?

    "I got in the paint multiple times this session during the scrimmages. The biggest thing for me once I get in the paint is trying to finish. And once I get back down and get back up."

    And when he does stay out on the perimeter, he says he's a much better shooter than before the injury. "Oh yeah. 100 percent."


    With so many quality players competing for minutes, though, "I'm going to make a bad decision, and hopefully I'll make as little of them as I can."
    After the Withey debacle I'm worried.

    While Neto certainly showed flashes of promise, he was an extremely low-usage player who kind of looked like he was just trying to not screw up.
    I think that's more on the coaches. When they let him run the offense he looked good. Perfect role player.

    The Jazz are not hosting an open scrimmage for fans as they've done in the past. …
    lame!
