So where can we find all of the other media coverage? I've only watched david locke and it sounds like theres a lot more.
 
Jazzfanz, this was a terrible, terrible media day coverage on your part. I've learned almost nothing after reading this topic. Shame on you.


This.



I've got nothing from this except Kanter may or may have driven a truck off the road. Stockton said don't tweet. A couple other things and that's about it.


Where is the good stuff?
 
Just watching this now. Locke is in complete agony listening to Lindsey talk. Polar opposite personality types.
 
WTF Jazzfanz. 2/10 on the Media Day reporting tbh. Didnt learn ****.
 
"wow, that interview was so interesting!!"

"Haha, Kanter is still a goof in interviews"


*no elaboration*
 
Doing some twitter searching


Enes says he cannot WAIT to frosh the 3 incoming rookies (Trey's dad had a funny tweet regarding this).

Ian Clark and Rudy Gobert apparently are becoming pals. Went to a football game together, bought their first cars together.



Trey learned LOTS from Stockton, like different reads from the pick-and-roll, and stuff: "John is a basketball genius".

Enes says that Big Al wasnt a teammate-- he was a big brother.

I hope we dont boo Al when he comes back.
 
Fine you whiners, you want to know what I learned:

Trey Burke has something new that Locke was looking at. He may or may not have had it on draft night.

Jeremy Evans hasn't forgiven Locke for that thing he said last year.

Derick favors favorite candy bar is Reese's

Lindsey wants to borrow a stick from Ron Boone and hit Locke

Lockes neighbor is a rich retired lawyer from la who has season tickets to the lakers and clippers.

Andries biedrens is married and his wife snow boards.

Mo Williams had a gaggle of kids. Biedriens may be the only jazz player with a kid.

Locke spent a lot of money on his summer vacation.

Fg% is like batting averages....worthless.

Ian Clark really liked 7th grade.

Rush first beat his brothers in a basketball agame when he was 14.

Clark watched about thirty minutes of the draft, but did not expect to get drafted.

Clark knew he was a shooter in 8th grade.

Marvin Williams thought he would be back sooner than expected, but didn't specify when.

Lindsey said that with favors, Gobert and biedrens the jazz could have a rim protector for 48 minutes every night.

Evans has muscles now, and has a gained a little weight. He worked on his 15 ft jump shot and went to the Cayman Islands with his wife.

Hayward was pist that the pacers went deep in the playoffs while the jazz were out.

Before meeting with the media, Jonathan Reinhardt prepped favors and Hayward about how to answer questions about contract extensions.

Hayward and favors both said that they wanted to leave contract extensions up to their agents and just focus on basketball.

Locke thinks Hayward is just like richard Jefferson's first three seasons.

Lindsey thinks Jefferson is very smart and has a god like body.

Locke thinks Marvin is very smart and has a god like body.

Lucas wants to be a coach when he is done playing.


I don't think Lucas likes Jeremy Evans. Because Evans dunked on him and then landed on him.

Favors thinks Hayward is cheap for not paying for his friends to get fast passes.

Locke is really Santa clause and his daughter wants an autographed Hayward jersey for Christmas.
 
alright, here's the skinny:

Jefferson:
Explained he was injured for a month last year, during that month GSW started winning w/ Harrison Barnes --only spot minutes afterwards. Locke made comparions of RJ to Hayward taking leadership roles with their teams in year 4, as well as having similar college #'s (neither were amazing scorers in college. RJ scored 12, hay was like 15 or something). RJ said he understands role with Jazz, seemed open to mentoring Hayward on how to be #1 option with other team's scouting plan targeting you.

Marvin
Talked about his struggles last yea, his injury, healing, etc. Said he'll play the 3 or stretch-4, or whatever Corbin decides for him. Talked about graduating college next year, ATL aquarium, blah blah blah.

Beidrins
Says he still has the double-double player in him and hopes to bring him out here. Weird interview, kind of looked like he could ry. Probably knows all too well the mean **** we all say about him.

Lucas
Talked about being a ball boy in the league when his dad was a coach, knowing DL, Baylor days. Talked about playing tennis, and planning to play some tennis w/ Hayward. Said Trey Burke is very receptive, and is listening to what the vets tell him, and then implementing it and asking questions. Talked about mentoring Rose, and how he is willing to do what he can w/ Burke. Jeremy came to table, Lucas talked about Jeremy dunking on him last year.

Evans
talked about improving his jumping...again. Locke was weird, called Jeremy out for being surly with him in past interview. Jeremy talked about loving Buffalo Wild Wings, Olive Garden, and then started naming downtown restaurants hoping he could get some free meals for naming them :)

Kanter
Child-like wonderment. Told stories about being w/ Malone, getting in crash, etc. Talked about shoulder and feeling good. Says he appreciates his past mentors of Al and Okur, but is ready now. Locke told him he thought he could post Randolph, Kevin Love kind of #'s in the future, Kanter glowed. Hayward came to table, and Kanter kind of deferred to him as the vet. Jokingly, but also a little seriously (his demeanor changed a little bit).

Hayward
Very serious, and kind of closed lip. Was very humble about his great improvements @ P3, said they could be better. Talked about being ready. Favors came to table. They talked about being ready for whatever, extended minutes, leadership, etc. Both were less jokey than other plays--very serious. Locke told story of running into Hayward @ Cedar Point amusement park while on vacation. Says Locke bought his family the pass to get to the front of the line ($50 a pop), but Hayward didn't do so for him and 3 buddies. Hayward said some of the lines were 4 hours long --kind of regrets it. Favors said Hay is crazy.

Favors
Serious. Said back problem from USA mini camp is fine. He says he is ready, and has been ready to lead team. Talked about buying a house in SLC, and how he bought his mom a house the year prior.

Burks
Quiet, confident, licking his lips a lot. Talked about his offseason and how he improved himself and got better (adding 6" to jump), etc. Said he was ready. Love this kid.

Clark
talked about not being drafted and not expecting to. Talked about summer league. Talked about befriending Gobert and going out to football games, breakfasts, playing video games, etc. w/ him.

Gobert
talked about being tall, and how he is not afraid to be tall.

Burke
talked about Spokane tweet. Deleting the tweet for Stockton. Talked about how much he learned, how he will react to broken screens (locke gave scenario), and not coming out shooting a lot of 3's. Said Stockton helped to understand that being a better passer will help him to be a better scorer. Poised and confident as usual.

Dennis Lindsey
Talked about free agents @ mini camp and expecting learning curves this season. Notable, he said team really likes Scott Machado, called him a pure point, and a pass-first, and seemed really high on him, and referred to his possible role as that of Jamaal Tinsley. Said Harris is an undersized PF who can really score the ball.

Rigby
blah blah blah. scoreboard. blah blah blah Millers. Blah blah blah Dennis. Blah blah blah.

when did my boxers get wet....

Great picture... this right here made my day.... burks arms lok about the same size as fav, kanter and hayward both look very tall in the pic (though I think derrick is kinda slouching)

Thanks dala!
 
Nice work sf.

One thing your post reminded me of...Lindsey talking about Harris (or maybe another guy)said he could play multiple positions and fill in for rush and Marvin. I think he might make the team on a partially guaranteed until the three wounded players are coming back.
 
I really liked the Marvin, Ian and Jeffers interviews. They are really articulate, well speaking guys and showing great maturity.

No way Evans, Favors, Burks or Hayward can lead this team vocally. Burke sounds much more suited for it.

Enes will never be a grown man/adult, I believe. It's just the way he is and I like him that way.

I don't expect much good from Lucas' mentor-ship. He seems he likes the idea but it will be shallow at best.

It was hard to listen to Gobert. French accent on English always sounds horrible.

Rush knows he is a 3 and D guy and that's kind of a good thing.

For Biedrins, well, I have no comment.
