Desnews is singing Raja's praises

This won't be popular, but who do we have at any position that is on the level of those guys? Was just thinking today that we are low bbIQ (between some bone-headed vets and rooks that are just still too green), too many are lazy on the fundamentals (i.e. boxing out), and we don't have any elite players. Players with elite potential, certainly, but not currently.

At this current point in time: none. Could this change by the end of the season? Maybe. Who knows what the future will hold.

I agree, Cy, but I still put Favors in the potential category. Will he become an all-star? I think it's near 100%. Is he dominant right now? Hardly.

Yeah, I agree. That is why I changed "players with elite potential" to "player with elite potential".
 
I am still baffled that a nice 15 pt showing from Burks (regardless of whether it was garbage time or not) led to two DNPs. I know Ty will start Bell, but surely Burks deserves a little time to develop on the floor. Unless Bell's offense (and defense) blossom to the point that we can't afford to have him on the bench, ,we need to sit him a little and give a decent lottery pick a chance to grow.

QFT.

For what it's worth, Jody Genessy usually writes pretty solid pieces. Apparently the Jazz coaching staff aren't the only ones to have left incriminating photos around for Raja to find.

It's true though. His 3-4 shots per game don't really have that huge of an affect on the game. It's not like if Raja goes 0-3 we are going to lose the game, and it's not like if Raja goes 3 for 3 we are a lock to win. Raja knows he isn't out there to score or play amazing, he is a placeholder for now and he has to play hard, which I think he does.

WEll, at least Raja has the good sense to know when he's struggling and that 0-3 doesn't turn into a 2-13 night, umlike some chuckers on the team. After TY's comments, we can confidently diagnose him as having Sloan Syndrome: an irrational fear of the unknown which causes one to stick with the status quo. It's closely related to battered wive's syndrome. On some level, Ty HAS to realize sticking with a washed-up vet will never lead to success, but he's just too afraid of change. KOC needs to save Corbin from himself by making a trade.
 
I would like to be a shooting a higher field-goal percentage," said the 12-year veteran, who's shooting 29.4 percent. "But, ultimately, I don't think it really matters if I make or miss my three shots in a game."

Bell doesn't care if he hits his shots. He doesn't think it matters because he only takes 3 shots a game. He'd like to hit his shots, but not enough to actually try hard.

Bell has got to go!

Bell didn't say he didn't care but his description is correct as is his understanding of his role. Much better than last years situation.

If he doesn't think it matters if his shot goes in he doesn't care.
