Here we go again

 

[Jazz Spazz]

This time it really is his breakout year.
Trust me.

 

[cctrackstar]

He kicked trash in the scrimmage................

 

[Jazz Spazz]

So did Raja.
Can you say "comeback player of the year"?

 

[prodigy]

He kicked trash in the scrimmage................

no doubt at it, he looked great tonight

He is a preseason hero alright. Here are his preseason stats from last year

10-11 UTA 8 2 21.9 0.456 0.450 0.889 0.5 2.6 3.1 0.8 1.5 0.1 0.88 2.88 11.9

46% FG, 45% 3, 89% FT

Then the real games started and he ended at

10-11 UTA 78 19 25.2 0.407 0.322 0.811 0.7 2.6 3.3 1.7 1.0 0.5 1.19 2.83 12.8

40% FG, 32% 3, 81% FT

So we can all cheer him on while he tears it up during preseason. I will believe something is actually different when his numbers are different in real games, not the crap he has been putting up, getting worse year over year for 4 straight years. If he takes significant minutes away from Burks or Hayward, then he damn well better be putting up better numbers than that. And if he is, I will cheer him on. Go CJ!!

Interesting. So would you suppose we should see Hayward multiple these numbers, by 6, in 2016? Kidz

Good stuff.

We are freaking stacked at the shooting guard and small forward positions. I'm going try to curb my enthusiasm after tonight because we didn't see Millsap, Jefferson, or Howard, but I think that the Jazz definitely make it back to the playoffs this year. C.J. and Gordon Hayward really impressed me tonight. This might be one of the most talented Jazz teams we have had in a while. We are DEEP!!!!

On the wings, we have a mix of aging/under-performing vets and inexperienced youngsters. The two and three are easily our weakest positions right now. Though I do see a lot of potential.
