What's new

Coming to Grips on Draft, Free Agency, and the Ultimate Future

Good post. I even like the arrogant tone.

Message boards are all about wearing masks and Ive found that strategic and bombastic arrogance demands more homage, prestige, and appreciation than my typical real world down to earth self. Batman is boring to hang out with. Bruce Wayne? Hell no.
 
Tyson Chandler has never been an offensive player. Wtf world are all of these Jazz fans on that think Tyson Chandler comes off as this top 10 center of all time that has an all around game?

Hood a bust? he's hardly played.

Bring Ty back? Send Snyder to the film room? No thanks.

First, see post 10.


As far as hood goes, he's a 21 year old rookie shooter who shoots below 30% from 3. those guys dont last long in the league. and on top of that, he's limited athleticly and has T-Rex arms. I know he's only played 30 games or whatever but I'm a realist. If it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck, it ain't a damn Mongoose.
 
Hood is not a bust. Way, way, WAY to early to pass any judgment one way or the other there.

Exum shows promise and I'm very hopefull for him.

Gobert is a beast. With a good passing PG his PPG could increase by 6-8ppg right off the bat next year.

Favors and Hayward. Enough said.

Burks is our 6th man IMO.

Burke eludes me. If he can get consistent and up his %s then we are in business.

Kanter is improving on D but he must improve his passing. No love his hunger on the boards and he is a great post threat on O.

Snyder has lived up to his billing in my opinion.

The future isn't bright it's blinding.

Oh man... I was wrong about Hood's age. He's 22, and 23 in October. Don't understand why everyone is saying its too early to tell on Hood. History would say that 22 year old shooters who shoot below 30% from 3 don't get all that much better. And as I have said before, he's quite limited athletically. I think 5 years from now, he'll be out of the league or a 12th guy on the bench type.
 
Only reason hood might be a bust is due to being Injured not his ability to play.

I think Exum will be fine. If you think he can be elite defender and can get to the line at an elite level combine that with his already good passing ability and usable three point shot that means he could be a top 30 player in the league. Pretty sure if you have an elite defender, elite and getting to the line passing pg you are pretty damn good.

Gobert is already better than Chandler on offense. Thought about it and he is and will be.

Pretty sure Burke is already most hated player on this board or close to it, so nothing new there. I dont think he is a starter in the league unless he becomes a better shooter and a more willing passer. I do think he is young enough that maybe those things change though. But I think our future pg is Exum.

Jazz going to taper off winning since we have no depth and Hayward is getting worn down. Unless we make a trade deadline move we are not going to be winning at the same clip we have the last month. We are going to get around the 8-9 pick still though. I believe we will make the jump and get a top three pick.

If we keep Kanter in the offseason we will do almost nothing in FA. If we let him walk for nothing we will be very active in FA and get someone better than Ronnie Price (still my favorite player)


I'd like to address your comment about Exum. My concern with Exum is that he'll have below average ability to shoot off dribble throughout his career. Perhaps even worse than Rondo or Rubio. It looks really bad whenever he does it in the games. Seeing it makes me cringe and I'd rather fancy having shards of glass in my eyes instead. No one seems to even talk about how bad Exum is shooting off dribble. It's a big problem along with his unwillingness to just go to the damn cup. If the shooting off the dribble continues as problem going forward, Exum will absolutely not sniff top 30 ever. He's gotta get to a point where people will respect his J.
