Ed Davis available tonight. (Game Thread)

[Et tu Brute]

The Jazz's success has literally never relied on Dante being good. But you make a good point, the Jazz should prioritize developing a 6th year player in a season they need to win games.

Mate. The Jazz are going to be another 1st or 2nd round out, unless you get some dynamic play from another perimeter player. Bogey is super hot atm, doubt he is this good for the whole year. Maybe Conley won't be this bad...

And Dante isn’t gonna be the difference, mate. He might be tall and quick, but he isn’t explosive and he is a complete non-threat as a shooter, especially off-the-dribble.

This team will rely on everything it always has, which whatever those things are, one is not Dante.

I think there is a very good chance this is true. Hate to say it.

But I do think Exum can be an NBA player. Just doesn't seem it will happen.

And I'm sure you blame the Jazz for that, right?

Not really.
I think it is unfortunate for everyone involved. I get that Quin wants to win etc...Just think Exum isn't as bad as he looks over the past few seasons.

I think one of the problems with Dante is lack of self-confidence. His body language says everything, it's not forceful. He's like the kid that everyone picked on when you were growing up. That kind of mentality is not going to make it in the NBA -- guess you could just say he's soft besides the fact that he's physically not strong enough, as his injuries demonstrate and he doesn't trust his own body. Just compare him with DM, physically, who is an absolute rock. That to me is the problem with Dante, and I think his inability to shoot and be a scorer is part of that inner lack of confidence. I've seen him pass up many easy shots because of that.
