Totally agree. Any Jazz fan that prefers Motum over him just doesn't know basketball - plain and simple. Cooley's ability to rebound on both ends and screen can't be overstated, and it looked like he was more mobile last night which bodes well for him being able to guard better. He did a good job on CJ Fair (who isn't an NBA player, but is a face-up guy who likes to put it on the floor).

I lol'd when Mickey absolutely stuffed Motum's floater attempt in the 4th quarter.

Mickey was good... Motum suxx. Cooley tried to dunk on Mickey and he wasn't having it.

Cooley is an NBA player in the same way Lou Amundson is... they are smart enough and play hard enough to be on a roster for 12 years... just not the same roster. I see no way he makes our team... I'd rather have Millsap, Johnson, Cotton... If we cut Hanlan or trade Burke or don't sign Neto and Tibor then I'd be glad to have him.

I thought Motum looked really awful last night. Maybe he is jet lagged but he looked a lot better last summer. It is interesting that we have two former first round picks toward the end of the bench and they looked so-so. Pehaps with X's ankle that Hanlan and these two guys get a little more of a run tonight.

I want to see Hanlan play point... he was at 2 most of the time last night. I think Cotton tweaked his ankle too, but stayed in the game. I want more Johnson, Cooley, and Lyles... less Motum please.
 
I also want to see Saunders... he's kind of intriguing.
 
I liked the critique of his game that he has a lot of sneaky old man moves that will drive more athletic defenders crazy.
 
I know that this will not be popular, and probably won't happen, but after seeing Jack's improvements in summer league and the Clips "little problem aka Jordan bolting to Dallas". Anyone think we can trade him or Pleis for an outrageously overpriced rate, like a 1st rd pick or 2 2nd rounders, anything that is going to really STING those pompous pretentious pricks.
 
I hope Cooley sticks. I really do. Impossible not to like what he brings. And he brings a tangible skill (rebounding). I'm baffled Ingles has a roster spot. I'd also like to see Booker back too. With the signing of Neto, we're running out of spots.

The best thing Cooley does is he actually goes up and grabs rebounds with 2-hands. Most guys try to one hand everything and just go in half-way. Cooley charges into a space and goes up strong.
