Gobert Needs Court Time

[fishonjazz]

You mean, because that worked so poorly for Burks?

Maybe it did...... we will never know.

Right now burks is fighting for minutes with richard jefferson of all people, a guy who could not even get on the court last year, and is still coming off the bench.

Burks might be an all star this year if he was handled differently...... there is simply no way to know how he would look now if he had more playing time in those previous years.

What we do know as fact is that randy foye, josh howard, cj miles, raja bell, and earl watson all have zero points, zero rebounds, zero assists, and a per of zero for the jazz this year.

I'm pos repping you Eenie Menie to balance out the tards negging you.

You can tell Ty could care less about the future of developing players. Why would he play John Lucas the turd even a minute. Gobert definitely needs a few minutes.

Lol. This argument makes no sense. A back up PG is going to play. Lucas playing takes time from Garrett. Not exactly a travesty. Lucas on or off the floor has no bearing on Goberts playing time.

Kanter will never get fast enough to start with Favors and this will cut Rudy's minutes all the time, which is a consequence of Kanter being veterer than him in years pro. Why did he call him back if he was going to sit? Did the towel guy quit his job or something? Being a rookie is one thing. But you need to give them confidence on always knowing they will earn their minutes on the court.

I think there is some merit to this post. A Gobert-Favor tandem would not have this problem. However, it would have a huge offensive liability as things stand now. I doubt Rudy will ever be much of an offensive threat -- you never know. But just imagine him and Favors in there protecting the rim, what a defensive combo.

He should have
Evans would be an all star by now

Hey Eenie. I think you hurt Franks feelings.

He also might be out of the league if he were handled differently.

From what I recall of description around Burks at the time he was drafted, he's playing as well as anyone ever expected. I don't see any reason to think it will be different for Gobert.

Imagine if Gobert just gets the hook shot down, he'd practically just be throwing the ball down into the hoop. There's hope.

On this we agree.

What about the rest of my post.

How are bell, miles, howard, watson, and foye doing for the jazz this year.

I dont have a problem with vets getting minutes ovet youth if those vets are better than the youth AND in our long term future.

If they are not better and part of the future then we are POSSIBLY sacraficing our youths development for nothing

Who cares? If the intent was to develop Burks, and Burks has developed to near the top of his expectations when he was drafted, then why do these playing times make a difference?

I hear Stockton and Malone haven't done much on the court for this year's club, either.

On the other hand, we are possibly enhancing our youths' development, which is the goal, by playing them the correct amount of time.

Everything you say is pure speculation and not based on experiential data. There is plenty of experiential data that shows that increased playing time results in improvement
