2014-2015 Raul Neto Watch

Did you think Hayward had the drive to be great?

Had! I don't believe Gordon is "great" at all. I would say he has become a better player until you would have to almost consider him for an all star spot. But great players are a whole other animal. He Disappears way too often and turns the ball over in critical situations way too much. His "taking over" in key situations is much improved (end of quarters, game on the line etc.) over last year. Last year in those situations you just knew nothing good was going to happen. He would turn the ball over about one out of three times the other two would end with a forced missed shot. Much better this year but not "great" in my book. He can be very good, but is not the player to lead a team to a championship. Another big step forward next year and he would be close to being a great player. All just my humble opinion of course.

Yep. What I remember from summer league is that he looked a lot like Trey. Neto MIGHT be a slight upgrade, but he certainly isn't great by any means. And Dante is SO, SO far away. Exum doesn't drive, telegraphs his passes and is actually not that great of a defender. I'd be surprised if Exum is a starter before the next 2 years. Jazz need to trade for or sign a veteran PG.

We must be watching a totally different game. Dante is 19 and doesn't want to turn over the ball so he isn't driving into the paint. He WILL start by the end of the season and then will be a VERY capable threat to drive on every play in 5 years. Dante stayed in front of John Wall by moving his feet!!! Dante stayed in front of Westbrook and then blocked him a second later! Name me another Jazz player who can do that right now? He will be an elite defender in 3 years in my opinion. The biggest thing he lacks is CONFIDENCE. That will come.
