Bleacher Report top 100 players

[gandalfe]

Bleacher Report has all 5 of the Jazz starters in the top 60.

George Hill, #59:

Gone are the days in which George Hill was a defensive specialist who often served as an offensive liability. He's becoming one of the more threatening spot-up 1-guards, and he rarely makes possession-ending mistakes when tasked with some ball-handling responsibility. So long as he's not asked to be an offensive leader, he'll get the job done. And now that he's been traded to the Utah Jazz, we can be sure that won't be the case.

Rodney Hood, #49:

Rodney Hood has developed nicely on the offensive end, though his shaky outside stroke and lackluster passing chops leave plenty of room for improvement. He also plays solid defense, even if he won't blow anyone away. Hood isn't yet a star, but it's easy to see one in the near future. It's tough to expect more out of a second-year shooting guard who was selected No. 23 in the 2014 NBA draft.

Rudy Gobert, #43:

Rudy Gobert could sit down on offense and still remain a valuable big capable of qualifying for NBA 200. He's that talented on the defensive end, especially when he's allowed to remain in the paint and swat away any attempts from those who dare drive into his territory. That said, his pick-and-roll game is improving, and he remains quite adept at drawing whistles when smaller players can't body up against him.

Gordon Hayward, #36:

Versatility is the name of the game, and Gordon Hayward managed to contribute in every area imaginable. Even without a consistent perimeter jumper, he can create his own offense and serve as the unquestioned No. 1 option for the Utah Jazz while also accounting for the roster's (previous) lack of pure point guards with his playmaking.

Derrick Favors, #26:

Derrick Favors rarely gets discussed as a game-changing presence and didn't seem to draw much All-Star consideration, but his all-around excellence has made him the No. 1 player for a Utah Jazz team on the rise. That may not remain true as Rudy Gobert and Rodney Hood continue to develop, but Favors' excellent defense and consistent offensive contributions have made him the centerpiece up to this point in the rebuild, even if he by no means enjoys the same name recognition.

Didn't even notice that, Blake at 42 is laughable

It's health related. Missing a few games is normal, but he missed over half the season, 45 games.

ETA: I'm not saying I agree, but that's their reasoning, and I can see where they're going.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

The Jazz were one of 6 teams in the League with 5 players or more in the list. Warriors, Spurs, Magic, Jazz, Clippers? & Cavs?... (Not sure about those last two, but that's what I remember).

Take it for what it is, but none of our guys were #98 and #85 or something like that. Pretty strong showing even if it's not top heavy.

 

[Miggs]

Magic? Lol.

 

[bigmike]

Awful.

For the Jazz: swap GH and Favors, and Rodney is too high.

Yep. About sums it up.

The si top 100 was a much better rating I think.
