What's new

What will next year's rotation look like to start the year?

Exum. Neto. Mack.
Hood. Mack. Burks.
Hayward. Burks. Ingles.
Favors. Lyles. Hayward.
Gobert. Favors. Lyles.

Exum, Neto, Mack
Hood, Burks, draft pick
Hayward, free agent signing, Ingles
Favors, Lyles, draft pick
Gobert, Withey, Favors

I think the Jazz will draft two international players.
 
I seem to remember hearing about how bad a shooter he was that his national team coach wouldn't let him shoot threes. Crazy how he's improved his shooting. Anyone else remember this.

Yes I remember that too

Yup, I remember us all cringing, myself included, when he would shoot a 3 early this season. I said after one game that he couldn't throw a rock into the ocean lol.

I posted about it as well after one particularly horrendous game.

Burks
 
If Mack & Neto keep up the good work we're set at PG. Awesome, since it was our weakness just a month ago. I see 2-3 rotation players next season who aren't yet on the team. I think we'll draft or sign another SG (who can perhaps also play some SF) and another PF (somebody more defense-minded than Booker).

You forgot Burks, Trey will definitely be traded, Booker it's hard to say because he brings a lot as a bench player, Withey is no D-L player. Take a look at his stats when Gobert was out. The guy is definitely an NBA caliber player. Johnson, well we'll have to see, he has made a lot of improvement this year.

I did. I remembered before posting it and I was about to put him in but some things happened at work and I forgot again. I have no idea why I forced to post it on a rush. Sorry my favorite player Alec. You are out of the rotation.
 
My dream scenario is giving 2+1 year max to Batum to be our super-sub(Iguodala style) then drafting Skal in the draft and feeding him some sandwiches and sending him to the weight room.

So this would be my rotation:

Exum/Mack/Neto
Hood/Burks/Batum/Johnson
Hayward/Batum/Ingles
Favors/Lyles/Skal
Gobert/Favors/Skal/Withey

Skal being long term project. I trust our staff to coach him up and develop him.
 
Exum and Mack will get 20+ mins/night to start the season. Neto will get the balance. I think the Jazz are going to bring Exum along slowly, work him into shape and let Mack/Neto take pressure off him.

Hood gets the start at the 2, but Burks is an early substitution. I don't see Mack taking minutes at the 2.

Hayward starts at the 3, and the Jazz keep Ingles around, but Hood gets regular minutes at the 3 next to Burks at the 2.

Favors gets the start at the 4, with Lyles continuing to develop as the 3rd big. Favors gets significant minutes at the 5 behind Gobert and plays next to Lyles.

Gobert starts at the 5; Favors gets most of the back-up minutes, and someone like Withey gets left-over minutes as a 4th or 5th big.


Jazz need to pick up a 4th big who can play minutes at the 4 and possibly spot minutes at the 3. This guy replaces Booker and possibly Chris Johnson.

Even though I have gone with the worst case scenario with Pleiss, there is experience to false my thoughts. Ty sent Rudy to D-L for dumb reasons and he came back as the White Gandalf. So I want to see what Pleiss can become before anything can be said about him.
