Corbin: I was afraid of this

@op: "philosophy" doesn't exactly equal "STYLE". Chill the **** out, man. The dude has to hire a staff and will have two promising rookies to work into his groove. I think it's time to go change your pad.
 
For that matter, "system" is also not "style". It seems to me you can play systems like the Flex (or the Triangle) loosely or tightly, with a run-first or walk-it-up tempo, with emphasis on the post or the wing players, etc. Over the years I have been watching, Sloan changed his philosophy barely (if at all), tweaked his system (sometimes in consecutive years), and changed the style they used regularly.

Even Jerry, praise be his name, changed things up over the years. The '89 Jazz stand Eaton at the 3pt to scream "illeagal" while john stood freethrow line esxtended and threw to Karl on the left block offense , was not the same as the '97 Karl high post offense, and it certainly didn't look like the Boozer/Williams "it takes three years to learn our system" offense.

If anything this tips the Jazz hand concerning personnel moves. If Ty knew he was going to have Harris/Jefferson/Milsap and some rookies he could make a plan. But if he is going to have a bunch young players and possible new faces....then it is not disconcerting that he does not yet have a concrete plan.

I think Draft Night could be very interesting. Go KOC!!!

But to my way of thinking, draft night choices should be governed partly by what kind of basketball you want to play, what you think will be effective in the modern NBA. It sounds like despite playing b-ball for 20 plus years and then being an assistant coach for 7 years, Ty has not figured that out yet. That is not a good thing.

Not to be trite... but that is the kind of thinking that leads to passing on Michael Jordan to draft (what was that guys name?) Joe Berry Carrol?

Not when you have the third pick.

This. You don't fit a high pick to a system. You pick the best damn player you can and fit your system to your team. If Corbin knew right now how this team was going to play then I would be concerned. My biggest problem with Sloan is his insistence on making players adapt to a role they were not able to fill.

Get talented players and find a system that works for them. Don't get inferior players just so they fit your so called system.
 
Whatever system the Jazz put in place, then need a big who can rebound, a guy who can create offense on his own, and a better shooter at the SF.

Great example. Bill Walsh stepped into the 49ers HC spot before the season started, hired his staff, chose his players, and went...8-24 in his first two seasons. I'm sure that had zman1527 been on a 49ers chat board at the time, he would have been bitching about Walsh's lack of direction and how he had no idea what he was doing.

Give Corbin some time. Let him fill out his staff, get some players, and let the dust settle on the most turbulant season this franchise has ever seen.
