I'm not even arguing any of that right now. I just said he looked bad at the start of the season and wasn't ready to play right away. There is video evidence that was the case, yet people constitently have a problem with it. It's just really weird.

Sarcasm my friend.

Among the things Tony Jones mentioned on radio interview today:
  • His own (personal) preference for Jazz at PG is Austin Reaves; would offer max. But thinks Lakers are going to match anything offered.
  • Strongly thinks Jazz top priority is more playmaking at this point
  • Again emphasized positional length for all positions (though threw out a few name for PG possibilities without much length)
  • Said Jazz had removed Cam Whitmore from draft board (I'm personally interpreting this as the Jazz felt Whitmore, GG would be better as "second draft" options than being the team to draft them initially)
  • Confirmed that Jarace Walker was higher on Jazz's board than Hendricks; that George was higher than Jordan Hawkins

What I would really be interested in knowing is if George was higher on their board than Wallce and Bufkin.

I would assume yes, because George was 10 on their board. If either of those 2 were higher than 9, the Jazz would have drafted them over Hendricks.

I know that's what Zanik said to the media, and maybe it's the truth. I just find it hard to believe that they truly preferred George over both of those other guys, especially Cason.

You can watch all the games on league pass. You might be able to find some full game replays on YouTube.

He mostly played in garbage time, where I'm very lenient in my analysis. It wasn't like he was just missing shots though, he looked like he didn't know where he was supposed to be on the court. It was even more obvious as a 3&D guy.

He had a few games where he got actual rotation minutes and he looked just as bad and lost as he did in garbage time.

I didn't watch him in the GLeague, but from what I understand he didn't do anything there to show he was an NBA player at first. Only Hardy saw him in practice, where he decided he wasn't ready.

What evidence is there that he was ready to play. How can people possibly say they saw something that Hardy didn't? It's just an annoying argument.

What evidence was there they he was ready to play when he did start getting regular minutes doe?

If you are looking for a dynamic lead guard that can create, George is the better choice and probably has a higher upside. Cason definitely is more ready and has a higher floor though. Jazz has more of a need for George than OKC who already has their dynamic lead guard.

The fact that Zanic would say they had Hendricks rated 9th seems to suggest he is being honest.
