Jazz players at the World Cup

Good old gif, for the ones who don't drink vine.

Neto is showing that he has the potential to develop into a nice piece. Maybe not a starter, but hem seems like a good fit for what Quinn Snyder reportedly wants to do offensively. I think that they'll bring him over next year if he has a good season with his new club.
 
Croatia with a surprising loss to Senegal. Tomic with 14 points(1/3FG, 12/14 FT), 9rbs, 2ast, 1to. Unfortunately he again showed his absolute impotence in defending any NBA level talent - Dieng had 27 pts, 8rbs, 3 ast, 2blocks.

So in the 3 games so far, against him, Scola has scored 30, Dieng has scored 27 and Andrey Blatche had 28. And those are not even starters in the NBA.
 
France vs Egypt is on. Rudy in with 3 mins to go in the first.

Rudy fouled on his way to the hoop. Will shoot 2. Misses the first. Scores the second.
Rudy lays it up it into the basket on a nice cut inside.
Second Q: Gobert starts.
Gobert with a 2-handed dunk inside after nice ball movement and pass inside from France. Rudy out!
5pts(2/2FG, 1/2FT), 2 rbs in 7 mins of play for Rudy at half-time.

Q3: Rudy in.
Rudy with a block.
Rudy with one more block but it's ruled goaltending... it wasn't.
Rudy with defensive rebound.
Rudy out.

Eudy back in with 2 to go.
Catches a defensive rb.
Fouled hard on the attempted dunk, gets the unsportsmanlike foul. Scores the second only.
Rudy with a nice defensive rebound.
End of the game.

Rudy with 6pts(2/2FG, 2/4FT), 6rbs, 1bl, 1to in 18 minutes

I feel pretty good about Neto and Gobert being very good backups for the Jazz. Gobert COULD develop into a starter, but he obviously needs to be able to do more than just score off layups and dunks.

Timeline for Neto is probably 1-2 years. I think a lot of that depends on Exum. I doubt they'd bring Neto over with Burke and Dante both on the roster. Or, if a trade is made to shore up another position, maybe a team is given the option of taking either Trey or Raul.
 
Rudy has to work on his hands and his strength. He could never be offensive thread unless he can keep the ball in his hands on the low block and in the paint in general. It gets knocked off pretty easily.
