they also have Clarkson don't forget.

i really like Clarkson. Wanted him at 23 until a couple picks away when it looked like Hood would fall to us. Don't know how he slipped to the second round.

 

[mdalby]

Hayward-25
Favors-24
Burks-24
Gobert-23
Hood-22
Exum-20
Lyles-19

No other team has seven guys this young, long, athletic, skilled and developed at such an age. Period. We have the best young core. We're gonna show it this year.

Also, add a 25 year old Pleiss in long, youth to the mix.

I've been stressing this for a while now. The year we went to the WCF with Deron the team won 3 more road games than we won last year. If you take into account the abysmal start with Kanter, I believe we are already a better road team than that WCF team. Utah is on the verge of a big-time breakout, so the bandwagoners should get a running start to jump on. Once again I'll make my prediction that Utah will have their best team this year since the days of John and Karl. #BestBelieve

Amen to that. Because once the season starts I am not slowing down. I will run you over if you get in the way.

GO JAZZ!!!

24 years old of 24 total shots made in his career?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Cappy_Smurf again.

It always drives me crazy how so many people (here on JazzFanz in particular) take pride in being the most skeptical, the most negative or the most cynical. IMO it is a much bigger deal to have the guts to go on record with a positive and optimistic prediction. Big props to you, Cappy, and ima gunna ride that bandwagon with you, 56 wins next season is my prediction!

I'd take Philly off and put New Orleans #1 because the brow is that good. He took NO to the playoffs last year. I'd trade any three players of Gobert, Favors, Hayward, Burks, And Hood for the Brow.

For example Gobert, Favors and Hood for the Brow? No way man

I'd have to take off Gobert off this list......Exum at 6'6"defending PG's and 7'1" Gobert at Center is going to have Utah in serious contention year after year purely on their defensive talent ,just wait til their offensive talent matures.

I'd trade Gobert for the Brow in a heartbeat. Gobert is great defensively but will probably never do more than Tyson Chandler offensively. Brow is the best of both worlds.

Exum
Hayward
Brow

We will beat Favors, Gobert and Hood.

Exum, Hayward and Brow win titles. I'd make that trade any day of the week. Superstars win titles. Brow is a superstar. Gobert, Favors and Hood aren't.

In the prediction thread I said 62 victories that I think is tied for the most wins Stockton and Malone got.

Yup.

I love Gobert but Davis might go down as one of the best ever. So young and so talented and already producing amazing numbers
