CBS sports with some pretty high praise for the Jazz

The article has our bench barely beating the Warriors. Sorry, but I would take Jingles over Ian Clark, Burks over Livingston, Trey over David West, and Boris Diaw over Anderson Varejao. Iggy beats out Joe Johnson. But a 4 headed ExumWitheyMackaNetosaurus puts us over the top by far. They didn't mention that all 4 of these guys have started for us at least 10 games in the last 2 years.
 
The rally Churro, the Koolaid, the punch...

I have consumed them all by the truckload. We need to go full course this year. No more kid snacks. I am talking about the whole enchilada!
 
Anyone want to take a stab at the players' scoring averages this year? Seems like we'd have a bunch of guys averaging low double-figures.
 
Ran into a Jazz fan on the court today. We talked about the CBS list, he was pretty hyped on the team this year. Always fun running into the rare Jazz fan down South.

I tried taking a stab at minutes and it was tough. If we are healthy some guys will probably not be too happy.

I wonder if we do the thing where on backend of back to backs we play the bench guys that did not play the night before. Like ingles takes Joe johnsons minutes or neto picks up exums minutes. No idea how we work it all out but there are some interesting options.
 
And IDK, I like our bench, but it's just wild to think of it as the best in the NBA. Kind of feel like it be might be overrating us, but I guess we do have a pretty elite bench if Burks actually stays healthy.
 
I think Golden State's bench is overrated. No way they're the #2 bench in the league. Livingston and Iggy are legit, everyone else is garbage...I think losing Barbosa, Speights and Ezeli will hurt them.

i think losing Bogut is going to hurt them way more that that

I think their happiness will in large part be determined by w/l. If we are winning I think you can keep guys happy. If we are in the lower half of the wc playoff race there will be problems.

I'm more prepared to say we have the #1 bench than I am to say that we have the #5 starting lineup.

I initially thought the bench thing was a reach... Then I looked at the list. Iggy is likely the best bench player in the league but overall the benches look fairly weak... This could be a huge advantage for us. I think lyles could become a real weapon... I'm really hoping he doesn't disappoint.

Our bench is full of guys that have been starters, you could make an argument for them to start, or look to be future starters. That's quite a change from the last few years of D-leaguers.
