Yeah, but again I'm focusing on the 6'6" and above dudes here, if you're a naturally athletic dude at that size, you SHOULD be funneled into basketball. Financially and potential career length are much more rewarding for basketball vs football. Even when you're good in football, the wear and...

This can/does already happen. All the stuff around 2nd contracts though, REEAAALY discourages this behavior.

Lots of Dad's living their dreams via their boy's AAU teams. Lots of them can afford the coaching or private schools to maximize their potential. Still a lot of the bigger white guys will end up in the football funnel, with bigger teams it's the easier path. But I think the average kid enjoys...

I think, because he was really good in college too, people forget just how much Kawhi improved in the pros. He made a much bigger jump than people projected for him, so for anyone at all to reach the Kawhi level, is unlikely. That being said, Flagg is sooooo young that the dude MUST have a lot...

The more I hear this discussion the more I just want a 'take your turn' approach. Take the weighted records from the past three years and create a permanent order of all NBA teams worst to best with worst picking first, then shift 3 slots 'up' each year for everyone, but incremented by 1 within...

Yep, the league is prioritizing offense even more than ever, even with all the talk of 3andDs. Look at the all-star teams- some MAY be decent defensively, in a 'by the way' sort of mattering, but it only really matters if you're a center.

I think Garland is his best track with a decent likelihood. DG: 6'1", 192 lbs KG: 6'4", 185 lbs So Keyonte has a few inches on him, but is slighter. Keyonte out-stat-ed him in their comparative rookie seasons in fewer minutes. Garland doesn't really seem to do anything on the court that...

This is where having a GLeague coach that has been focused on player development has been key for BYU and Demin- a traditional college coach focused on the immediate game in front of them would have limited Demin by now and told him to stop firing so freely, Coach Young instead, has encouraged...

7+ because the roster has too much uninjured talent to win fewer games than that regardless of the tank-wishes of management. The rooks and youngins are getting so many reps in that, since they are actually talented, they'll start winning a few games. Vet status is more about minutes on an NBA...

Nah, he's been firing away on his 3's of late, even though not hitting at a good clip and he's happy to drive. I'd be more concerned if his mechanics were ugly, but they're fine. He hit a pretty one from deep during a small Kansas run to take their hope away. The less he thinks the better it...

Like I noted, his main issue is his 3pt shot, which I think is fixable. If he was hitting another 1.5 per game of his 3 point shots, his numbers would basically be on par with these guys...

Yeah, he’s too good defensively to say he doesn’t play hard, but he can definitely play passively on offense.

As long as we're top 3 we'd have equal shot at Flagg: Team > Odds for No. 1 Pick Team 1: 14.0% Team 2: 14.0% Team 3: 14.0% Team 4: 12.5% Team 5: 10.5% Team 6: 9.0% Team 7: 7.5% Team 8: 6.0% Team 9: 4.5% Team 10: 3.0% Team 11: 2.0% Team 12: 1.5% Team 13: 1.0% Team 14: 0.5%...

He also has the best +/- on the team. He has a big influence on the game with his passing/defense and decent rebounding. He REAALLLY needs to work on his shot consistency- sometimes it looks great, but he can't seem to keep his form consistent. Fixable though, so his draft status will probably...

With the With the rules expanded recently to clarify that holding players out specifically during nationally televised games, it seems the Jazz are abiding the letter and the spirit of the laws- it’s just the law that sucks.

Since the coach has specifically called out putting the youngins in ‘difficult situations’ purpose, I think there is at least some evidence to the contrary.

Collier's turnovers I'm more than happy to live with. Not so much lazy pass turnovers Key and Clarkson sometimes get plagued with. Clarkson will take care of itself as his contract ages out, and Key seems to be upping his passing game lately, so we'll see how it plays out. The other glaring...

I get where you're coming from, but the NBA is set up a certain way, with certain rules, and the Jazz are working within the framework to optimize for success, to help them overcome certain structural disadvantages. The question that Ryan answered differently than previous ownership- Is our...

Its amazing how playing w/Collier seems to increase Key's assist game. Maybe his competitive juices are going as far as keeping his assist numbers comparable- if so, great!
