*****2013 Training Camp Updates and Discussion Thread*****

Freakintabulous!!!

I just realized that the Jazz will play a game in 7 days and 4 hours at the ESA against the Warriors.

Edit: I tried to find tickets, but couldn't find them on Flash seats or Utahjazz.com. Does anyone know if they sell tickets to preseason games?

Edit2: Not that it matters the game will be broadcast on Root Sports, just so long as the G'vmt shutdown doesn't affect the FCC.

Hell yeah man. About freaking time!!!!!! Jazz youth movement and the Denver Broncos steam rolling teams? If I suddenly stop posting it is from a heart attack and I'm dead.

"Today’s morning session was primarily conditioning with a focus on a defensive conditioning. Coach Corbin and his staff did begin to institute some of the early offensive sets with slight variations from years past. Karl Malone was present working with the other coaches and after practice held a session with the Bigs of the far courts working on various moves and positioning.

The talk after practice was about Gordon Hayword’s increased role as a ball handler this season. Coach Corbin talked about altering some of the offensive and defensive sets this year to better match the personnel.

Coach Corbin was really pushing guys today. You could see a bounce in his step and the excitement to be back out on the floor coaching his guys.

Two highlights stood out from the morning practice. Enes Kanter hit 21 of 23 jumpers from 15 feet during one drill. And in the final conditioning drill of the day Gordon Hayward and Trey Burke had a nice little friendly competition be to see who could get to the line first. Both giving huge effort at the close of the conditioning drill." David Locke

Corbin said, "I thought for the most part the guys were in pretty good shape. The energy was there. The enthusiasm about getting back on the floor was good. I thought they paid attention. ... We did a lot of stuff."

Gordon Hayward noticed the difference between the first practice and ones from his previous three training camps with the Jazz.

I thought we should have a thread to share and discuss the updates that are coming out. Here's my contribution:

"Karl Malone conducting a big clinic on far court as practice comes to a close"


Bill Oram
"Ty Corbin put Jazz through some unexpected conditioning at end of first practice. Looks like it worked. Hayward and Burks look gassed"

Andy Larsen
"RT @andyblarsen: Brandon Rush and Marvin Williams did not practice due to their injuries."

Bill Oram
"Gordon Hayward says he has been asked by Jazz to be more of a playmaker this season."

Andy Larsen
"RT @andyblarsen: Gordon said he's focused on working on his mid-range finishing game this preseason."

Damn gobert is tall!
Look at how short he makes favors, kanter, and brickens look in that pic
 
Andy Larsen
"RT @andyblarsen: Ty Corbin mentioned how important it is to get Favors and Kanter on the move in order to score. Making changes to the offense"

Finally.
Well, duh. Ty no longer has Big Al he can rely on. With Ty's coaching ability he's probably just going to tell them to pass the ball around until someone gets open.

I could see a few fake cuts into the lane with a quick move right back to where they started. Maybe a double screen at the top of the key for Burke where the first screen is on who is guarding Burke, and the second screen is on Burke so he can't actually get into the lane. I also like to see 5 passes around the 3 point line so that every player gets a chance to touch the ball before they try to get it into the paint. 2nd option could be a Burke clear out on the right side, other 4 on the left ready to crash the boards.

They are what I call "Tank Plays".

Listening to Corbin gush about Big Al made me a little sick. We are going to miss him blah blah blah. His man crush over Al is a little disgusting at this point.
