We are now all alone in second place. I have an irrational amount of confidence in this team. In every game this season at basically every point of each game i have felt like the jazz will win. I look at the roster and see so many good players. So much balance. Versatility. I think this team is much better than last years team. The only slight concern i have even had so far this season is conleys early struggles but even then i would remember the bricks of rubio and how the defenses defended him (or didnt in this case) and i still felt fine with conley. He is now playing how we expected him to.
Green, mudiay, and bojan have all been good pick ups. Green has been slightly disappointing overall but I have been a huge fan since the first time I saw him in a jazz uniform. Its so weird that he hasn't had a good career. He has the perfect size, length, athleticism and skillset for todays nba. I mean he is basically the perfect prototype player for todays game. 6 foot 9, 235 pounds, long, athletic, can shoot and handle. On paper he should be very good. Hoping the jazz can get him to his full potential.
Mudiay has been fantastic. Bojan is amazing. Conley is a big upgrade at point guard. Mitchell has made a leap. Royce is solid. Rudy is a monster. Quin is a great coach. Exum will be back soon for depth. Ingles will get there soon. Bradley is learning how to contribute and we are still winning.
This could be the year!
