Jazz players at the World Cup

Are we ever going to find out who made the roster?

Cuts are supposed to be made Saturday morning, but it may not be all the way to 12. They actually have until day before tournament to submit the 12 man roster. With Rose and Cousins injuries they may carry 14 up until then.

To be serious, this.

Most teams will wait untill the last day to submit their final 12 rosters.

After being around the team this week, seems like Lillard, Drummond, Hayward will likely be the first three cuts.

Does Parsons making the team over Hayward mean Parsons > Hayward, at least in Coach K's eyes? If so, that hurts.

But honestly we should probably be more upset Plumlee might actually make the 12 man roster over Favors even getting an invite.

To be honest I am not. Jazz are always over looked and I prefer it that way. Everyone ignores us and discounts us until we beat them. Then they melt. the. hell. down.

One of my favorite things about the last few seasons is consistently beating the Miami Heat (I think we were 4-3, one of the only teams if not the only team with a winning record against the big 3 Heat) and there consistently being a melt down in Miami and on ESPN with "What's wrong with the Heat?" headlines.

Is this a surprise to anyone on the board that parsons>hayward? As a third option, he had identical stats to hayward's, but shot 53%/37% from the 2/3, compared to hayward's 46%/36%..

Their career %s are much closer. I like Parsons, I think he is underrated. However, I give his additional shooting stats a lot of credit to the other players on his team that got him wide open shots. With the caveat that I, like all of you, am a huge Jazz homer, I think Hayward is an overall better player, and would be a better fit on the USA team. Honestly, I would consider keeping them both on the team. Except for a few teams (mostly Spain) the competition does not have a lot of bigs, and both Hayward and Parsons could play the four as well. I hope he makes it, but based on PT, he probably won't.

I honestly think last year conditioning was part of Gobert's problem at the FT line. I think he has gotten used to a faster paced game and will do fine at the FT this year (knock on wood)

Did anyone actually defend Parsons though? Hayward in Al, Millsap land shot 44%/42%. That 42% from 3 is pretty sexy. . . Against second stringers as a rookie he shot 49%/47% Of course that was with more than half a season with a Jerry Sloan offense.
I like Hayward much better as a defender too.
