What's new

Anyone else get the feeling....

yet he's always getting a hand on the ball on defense better than his swifter footed team mates

He's slow but he can still create space. He's the guy at the gym that you think you will own and you underestimate him... all of a sudden he has a couple layups and threes and u can't figure out what's going on. Classic old man dad type game. I truly enjoy him in a bench complimentary 15 minute a night type of role.
 
I don't get the feeling at all the CJ is on the team. And I see no way that we don't keep Ingles and Bolomboy. Seems to me they see Bolomboy as having an upside they want to develop. And if they move Withey he will be replaced with another cheap back up 5. IMO the only people in play for being moved are Neto and Mack. If we keep both of them, CJ is gone.
 
It's Withey or CJ, it's that simple. Everyone with a guaranteed contract is probably safe barring a catastrophic injury or them have a PR nightmare.

If Bolomboy was out there getting minutes I would question if Withey was getting cut, but he isn't. I think Withey is pretty safe.
 
Both Favors and Gobert are going to miss games. Derrick has back problems that are likely to flare up. Yes, Utah has Diaw, but I think a true 5 is more valuable than another wing, especially if Burks is coming back for the start of the regular season. Utah has a lot of wings.

He had back problems one year and it was due to his bed. I don't think his back will be a problem.
 
For his career, Derrick has averaged 9 missed games/season. He's never played in all 82. It's likely he'll miss some games.
 
I think they gave him a couple of minutes to help try to find him a job.

Barring injury, he's not making this team.
