"Everyone said, 'Well, you should do that overnight,'" Sloan said. "But it takes a lot of work, and some times you don't have the kind of practices you need to try to improve on some of this stuff. It's on-the-job training."

You mean that development happens on the court, and quite possibly might be a bigger source than practice?

What a concept.

Maybe Jeff Hornacek's wife can tell him to look at the basket, then throw the ball in the basket …

Big Al is obviously a willing worker, so I have no concern with his learning the Jazz system. Getting guys to buy into it is always half the battle.

He's a willing worker, except when he's not boxing out.

While he's learning the system, he shouldn't play as many minutes if he's not trying to make up for it in non-system development ways like boxing out. Also, his minutes need to be managed because he's not probably in 100% shape.

In other words, when the matchups call for it or allow it (Griffin/Kaman, Biedrins/Lee, Nene/Shelden), play the centers more--especially given that they will likely be needed against the tall contenders (Lakers, Magic, maybe Celtics, maybe Spurs).

Fairly obvious the Bozzer is a smarter guy. But Ill still take Al and trust he will learn it.

Bozzer must be bringed back.
