What would our record be right now with Dante?

Pretty sure Franklin is just trolling. Anyway, I agree with Cy in that we would be 3-4 wins better right now with a healthy Dante. At the very least, he gives us a consistent player that we could plan on being on the court for 30 minutes a night, instead of Burke and Neto fluctuating night to night in minutes.

Neto does not seem to be anything more than a third string point guard at this point.

Oh, and Exum's defense is a lot better than Frank is giving him credit for.

Trolling? lol. Were you one of those who claimed I was trolling when I predicted how bad Kanter would be? Fishonjazz was I know for sure. Some of you beg to be "trolled" only to eat crow and adopt my predictions/ride my sack a couple years down the road. It's cool, feel trolled. In fact, I'll troll with my next post.
 
Guys, did you know Dante gets 0.2 blocks per game? That's HUGE for a guard. I think it might be the best of all time in fact. His perimeter defense is the best ever, 0.2 blocks yo! Even David Locke agrees with me and all the announcers and 1280zone guys for the Jazz. They ALL say Dante has top notch defense.

I remember you talking tons of **** about favors, Hayward, Burks, AND kanter.

Come to think of it, I never see you post anything positive about any of our players or coaches.
Jazz fan? I think not
Troll? Likely

I, on the other hand, have been pretty much right 100% about every player. My biggest miss is Burke, who I considered a lost cause, but might actually turn out to be a passable backup PG. Always hated on Kanter, and always praised Favors, Burks, Hayward, and Hood.

So with my amazing perfect record, I think Dante was near worthless last season, hurting us on O at least as much as he was helping us on D. Neto is garbage offensively as well, and not as good defensively, so maybe Dante would have made a small difference to our record. He was NOT the defensive juggernaut people make him out to be, but he was an effective defender. I also don't see top 20 potential in him at all. It would be the shock of a lifetime. I expect him to become a 10-12pts 5-7 assists kind of player who plays good D. Pretty much an average, or at best slightly above average, starting PG

Aren't you a clever little munchkin ... it's a wonder the Jazz haven't been beating your door down for help !
 
While Dante wasn't a beast, he stays in front of his man, can switch on most players, and contests shots better than any guard we have with a 6'10" wingspan. There is a chance he could have improved a lot, it tends to happen with players in the 20-23 year old range, ya know?

Dante is an enigma. Will he develop into the player scouts thought he would or won't he? You can argue either way. It's pretty fascinating isn't it?

Well i remember hearing people saying that he maybe should have went #1 and comparisons to Kobe and whatnot.

I dont think he develops into that....... oh hell, i dont think he ever becomes an all star.
