Since I put my picks up vs Vegas in the OG post, I thought I'd check to see how I was doing vs the professionals: Team order is my pick order. Turns out not too shabby so far, outrunning the pros by 12. Big misses are OKC and NOP. Pelican's I was counting on injuries that haven't happened-...

Not often you see positive +/- from every single player on the team.

Ah, 1/2 my risky picks justified w/Morant out for season: https://jazzfanz.com/threads/2023-2024-western-conference-regular-season-prediction-contest.198754/#post-2354300 Now just need Zion to follow suit.

How often is win probability at 99.6% at half-time?

He's been picking up a bit on the energy side- he went through a stretch where it wasn't just matador defense, he wasn't blocking out and letting the other team get contestable rebounds. Zero energy. His facilitating prowess isn't enough to overcome being such a huge negative on the defensive...

Yes

Yeah, he was in my new SIL's BYU Bishopric (I think the actual Bishop.)

Smart to tap more into the Utah County market. Much easier to get into Draper area than fight traffic all the way downtown.

His form is fine and we saw him shoot a good percentage in summer league. Its the passing that was in question - the shooting will improve dramatically as he settles into his other, more important, jobs.

Some teams worse at D some at O, but the Jazz stand alone at sucking at both simultaneously...

5-5 1 win from 1st two. 2 wins Memphis/Orlando, 2 wins from the road trip.

Possibly, but who'd they cut? Jazz are pretty deep and it isn't like a perfect vet PG is going to drop into their laps on the waiver wire.

Very D-Will-esque on his drives. He doesn't have the passing game D-Will had, but body type and general offensive game is pretty similar.

Many, many b̶o̶t̶h̶a̶n̶s̶ hookers died for this.

SECOND DRAFT=- with Vegas rankings of total wins in parenthesis to see where I diverge from the conventional wisdom DEN (1) SAC (10) LAC (5) MIN (7) PHX (2) UTA (12) GSW (4) LAL (3) OKC (8) DAL (11) HOU (13) SAS (14) POR (15) MEM (6) NOP (9) Lots of good teams with not a lot separating them-...

Also like how PG all the way up to PF has switchable players so you can slot in who's playing the best to get minutes at whatever spot makes sense at the moment.

That's a very good starting 5 with depth up and down the roster. Playoffs incoming pretty comfortably, even with other teams improving if George doesn't give away too many points on defense.

Like that he's a willing runner. We really have the pieces to be a downhill team looking to break even after a make. He has the mentality and quickness to make that work.
