What's new

Dwill and CJ are BOTH on pace...

Clearly spacing is a huge problem. I think you need three 3-point shooters on the court at all times to win in this league. The Jazz usually only have two. Either Deron and Raja or Deron and Miles.
The Jazz succeeded last year because they usually had three shooters at all times on court (Okur, Matthews/Miles/Korver, Deron).

This is right on the money. Even when we have two 3-point shooters on the floor. None of them are consistent from 3. It's a flaw in the way the roster was built. Until this is addressed, we will continue to have issues.
 
Deron wanted more mins for his buddy Miles. That was one of his disagreements with Sloan. I hope Deron gets his wish. I'd love to see Miles start and play 30 mins every night at SG or SF. Our own Rip Hamilton should'nt be buried on the bench behind Bell or Kirilenko. Play Smiles and give him the license to shoot anytime he wants. And see what happens. Championship, baby!

How do you know this? Where you at a team meeting?

LOL. I don't know how, but I almost missed the beauty in your post.

and of those you mentioned that are on the team this season, I wouldn't say their shooting percentages are anywhere near where they need to be for any of those players to be categorized as shooters

far more depth in the shooting category last year, even Ronnie Price could hit a decent outside shot with some degree of regularity
 
Ummmm how about anyone else?

Those are horrible percentages. I'd much rather see Millsap shoot than CJ. In fact, why the hell did CJ shoot 8 more times than Deron and 6 more times than Millsap?

See, that's another problem this team has. The real scorers, Al and Millsap, don't get the ball. While guys like CJ and Raja cast away like they're Kobe Bryant playing for the 05 Lakers with Chris Mihm at center.

CJ does get a lot of run I agree. He is either on or way off. Wouldn't mind see little Gordie Haywurrrd get some more run.
 
The funny thing about this complaint is that shooting 33% from 3 is the same as shooting 50% from 2. Only downside is you usually don't get points from the FT line by shooting 3's. Still.. lulz.

So we throw out all comparisons because shooting 50% overall (including 3 point attempts) is decent?
