    Game Thread Aug 13, 2020: Utah Jazz vs. San Antonio Spurs

    I hate being a Jazz fan sometimes. We can't even lose when it's beneficial to lose.

    The ability to rebound doesn't mean someone can play center.

    It's interesting. Bol was a better shooter and probably had better natural shot blocking instincts. Poku is a better passer, is a more fluid athlete and I'd say has a slightly better handle. If Bol had s clean bill of health I'd say he was a better prospect just because the production was...

    Saddiq Bey can shoot, although the mechanics are little funky. I'm just not sold that he's going to provide much else. He's gonna be a passable NBA level athlete at best. He doesn't have NBA level wing skills. I think he's gonna end up playing the 4 in the NBA. Biggest misconception about him is...

    Also with all of these losses it looks like we'll probably be picking around 20 instead of in the mid 20's. So that's a positive.

    Ty-Shon Alexander is another guy the Jazz could look at if they trade for a second round pick. 22 year old guard from Creighton. He shoots the three well on volume. He's more than a shooter too. He can a handle a little in pick and roll. He does a good job of holding defenders on his back when...

    I would be insanely happy to get either one where we are picking. Poku is a risk. But he has top 3 upside in this class imo. The combination of size, age, mobility and skill with the ball that he possesses is crazy rare. He's in my big board top 5. I may end up putting him at 2 when all is said...

    Kira would be great value for us imo. He's likely gonna end up 6 or 7 on my final board. He's my #2 guard overall.

    Jay Scrubb is a really intriguing prospect. I'm surprised he's not higher on boards. 6'6 with a 6'9 wingspan, athleticism pops on film, legitimate ball skills. I think Malik Fitts is being slept on too. Which isn't as surprising because he's 23. But he has NBA size and he can shoot the 3. He's...

    Why is Jeff Green looking playable as a 5 in Houston?

    The main thing about our perimeter defense that has bothered me all season is that our guards and wings consistently run right into screens instead of going under or over. A lot of the time they don't even try to avoid it and I don't understand. I'd like to see us switch more 1-4 if we have...

    Playoffs!

    Thought 1: I hope we play Denver Thought 2: Our 9 man for the playoffs should be Gobert, O'neale, Ingles, Mitchell, Conley, Clarkson, Oni, Brantley and then either Bradley or Morgan depending on matchup. Thought 3: Overall I'm just ready for the offseason so we can fix this trash a** bench.

    Game Thread Aug 07, 2020: Utah Jazz vs San Antonio Spurs

    Why don't we try Bradley, Niang, Brantley, Oni, Clarkson as the bench unit? Why hasn't Niang next to Oni or Brantley in the forward spots ever been a thing? Like I get the idea of valuing Niangs ability to shoot. But the thing is you can't put 3 guards and slow footed Bradley around him...

    It's impossible for Maxey and Maledon to "drop" to us. They aren't top 20 prospects. Either a team is going to reach on them or they will be available. No drop involved.

    I can't believe I've been pushing for Brantley to play over Niang for a like an entire year. And I'm still gonna have to b***** even after todays game where it was blatantly obvious who needs to get those minutes... BRANTLEY.

    Prediction... We Will See the G League Guys

    Watch Quin play Niang for 48 minutes just to avoid playing Brantley again

    My big board for the Jazz is simple. 1. Aleksej Pokusevski 2. Precious Achiuwa 3. Paul Reed Poku is in my top 8. If he's available they should take him and not think twice. The combination of size, age and skill with him is rare. If he turned out being the best player from the class it...

    Welp a lot of the second round targets we talked about are going back to school. Chris Smith is returning to UCLA John Petty is returning to Alabama Corey Kispert is returning to Gonzaga Jared Butler is returning to Baylor

    I'd love to know the context behind the attitude concerns teams have with Jaden McDaniels. It's something that always comes up with him but context is never really given. Is it just the technicals? Was he a poor teammate? Uncoachable? Is it off court concerns? Knowing the context is so important...

    Which is why I said that we need one in the mold of Favors/Davis, and one in the mold of Crowder/Green. The one in the Crowder/Green mold will be able to stretch and not be total a** at everything else like Niang. Niang is the perfect example of why shooting matters but you shouldn't be so damn...
