This countdown thread makes me happy. It means I'll need to change my location soon!
2014-15 Media Dayzz
- Thread starter mellow
- Start date
No Wiggins or Parker. What could have been....
Snap out of it! Exum, Hood, Hayward, Burks, Favors, Kanter, Gobert and Burke! 4 of which are rookies or sophmores and far, far from their full potential. Not to mention the very realistic chance for improvement in the other 4. Plus a new coaching staff that is both designed and buffed up on player development.
Gonna be a damn good year!

I think people are going to be impressed with the way Burke runs the team this year. He'll have a real coach and some real spacing to work with. He's going to look much better than his rookie year, I think (hope).
ill be coming back from holland on monday. please keep on it, and post all the media day pictures here as they come out.

I would add Kanter, Novak, Burks.
~ Didn't look but I nailed it!
I know that Kant and Burks had some experience against the Spurs in their rookie season, and I thought a big shooting guy like Novak must have some under his belt.
This is like the first time I've guessed something right.

Lol. I think you got it wrong. The question was what 5 guys have playoff experience with the Jazz. Novak doesn't, but Evans does.

3 days to media days...
Gordon Hayward has had 3 different Headcoaches while with the Utah Jazz.
In 3 seasons with the Austin Toros Quin Snyder had a .600 winning percentage. Quin has been an assistant coach for 3 nba teams. Can you name them? Quin played in 3 Final Fours. He signed a 3 year contract with the Jazz on June 6. Quins 3rd game as Headcoach will be against the Suns and coach Hornaceck. Last season the jazz earned win#3 against the suns on November 30th. In that game Alec Burks had 3 rebounds, but his 14 points and team high 5 assists were key to the victory. Alec Started 12 games last season(12 career starts) the jazz won just 3 of those games. Alec Burks averaged nearly 3 points more at home than on the road.
***some perspective on coaching...jerry Sloan has a career winning percentage of .603. His winning percentage for a season with the jazz only ended blow .600 in 8 out of 23 seasons, and remember he lost his first playoff series 0-3.

More #3
In Enes Kanters third season he ranked third on the jazz in blocks, and blocked 3 or more shots in a game 3 times. He had three games with over 15 rebounds, and scored 25 points in 3 games. Interestingly, Enes' numbers are nearly identical at home and on the road, but he averaged 3 more points a game in losses and 3 more rebounds per game after the all star break...when his playing time increased. It will be interesting to see if Enes will move to the outside to shoot more threes. He is a career .333 percent three point shooter, he has attempted 3 in his career.
