Preseason conclusions after two games

[TheGobertReport]

- Hayward, Favors, Burks, Gobert are going to be great.
- Hood and Lyles are going to be potentially deadly off the bench. Consistency will be critical for sustained team success.
- Point guard situation is sketchy at best. Cotton needs a chance but I am nervous about the position.
- Pleiss is not an NBA player.
- Watching Quin Snyder coach this team is amazing. Energy level was a lot lower than Lakers and he called a quick TO down 7-5 and the game changed after that. The Jazz really hit a homerun with the hire after striking out so embarrassingly with Tyrone Corbin.

Everything is spot on expect for Pleiss. He is a decent back up for his defensive rebounding alone.

OP, newsflash! The preseason has not yet concluded.

That's the fun of the thread, sir. Feel free to add any conclusions you're comfortable making about the team without needing to see anymore.

The Jazz are better than the Lakers.

I disagree with your characterization of his role, respectfully. Specifically with "decent" attached to back-up. Festus Ezeli is a decent back up. I think the Jazz will begin the regular season with Withey or Cooley as the backup center.

Bryce Cotton is probably getting cut.

Withey is probably making the team.

Why has everyone all the sudden given up on Pleiss? He is way better than I thought he would be.

Hayward is a major badass!

Gobert is a major badass!

Favors is such a major badass he didn't even need to suit up for game two!

We have three major badasses on this team!

Withey may play over Pleiss, but both will be used this season. We are deep at the Center position. Pleiss can help us whether he is the 2nd or third string. Give him more than 2 NBA preseason games before you make a substantial conclussion. He played decent all summer against NBA players in FIBA.

Burks ia baby badass. He wants out of his diapers.

+We have only played the Lakers who have one of the worst teams in the NBA, starting and bench depth wise so I think any conclusions are inconclusive.
