Would you say that Poythress' stock is falling?

Haven't heard that .. but it should be. If he doesn't step it up, he should drop 10 spots. Love the news that Cal is coaching him one-on-one every day.

According to nbadraft.net the Jazz will be selecting McAdoo, CJ Wilcox (Washington) and Nate Wolters (South Dakota State). That would be a dreadful draft. I'm intrigued by Wolters but I think you might be able to get him on a camp invite.

That would royally suck.

In these highlights Shabazz doesn't look all that quick or explosive, and he's settling for jumpers. He looks like a slightly rich man's Joe Johnson. Is he coming off an injury?

Not coming off an injury, but he does suffer from me-itis.

Myck Kabongo is the perfect pg for us. The Longhorn coach is practically running Sloans entire system, so Myck would really be able to make a nice transition.

No to Kabongo.. And I just gotta laugh at anything that casts Rick Barnes is the light of even a pedestrian-level coach. He's a joke among scouts..
Myck is overrated and always has been. Maybe I'm wrong, but I've always called him Avery Bradley.

I really really like this kid. He's a better prospect than Lamb or Ross from this past draft. He's going to make some plays. To me, he still looks like Latrell Sprewell.

Yes, better than them. I'm not as high on him as I was, for sure .. but Love the FIRE he brings.. he looks like he's going to blow up the other team's bus ..

Do you think he's rocking the Bel Biv Devoe cut to make himself look a bit taller? He's what--6 9" ?

He's 6'10.5 and explosive athletic.. MOTOR.

Those highlights are from a month ago. He was coming off some sort of mild injury which prevented him from practicing with the team, and he also missed their first three games or so. Since then, he's lost 13 pounds and has become more comfortable in the system. He's scored 27 in each of the past two games. Top-2 pick, for sure.

I'm going to come out and say it---I think the Jazz are playing the veteran rotations to a) try to protect a few players' trade value, and b) make sure we get a draft pick in the late lottery so we can add a much-needed point guard. I think the FO knows which rotations perform and don't perform as well as Sports Illustrated does. I literally think we're running a slow tank, in part because the Warriors are playing well.

I keep jokingly telling myself that this is true (what else could explain some of Corbin's moves?), but who knows...this really could be the case.

Corbin, you're a brilliant tanker. Keep it up and get us Shabazz.
 
I agree that Bazz and Noel SHOULD be 1 and 2 in whatever order. Please no Cody before 3 ........................................

This is a bit of a mind-blowing idea. And if true, one I applaud the organization for. That would be twice in three years the Jazz have done something brilliant that no one else has ever done.

The only thing I don't like about that is Favors and Kanter NEED to start taking more weight on their shoulders. Starting to really worry about stunting.

This is my fear as well.
 
Through their first three seasons, the Jazz did a better job getting Paul Millsap minutes and opportunities than they have Favors. In Millsap's third season, he started half the games for the season and had something like a 20-game consecutive double-double streak. I know the circumstances are different in just about every way, but considering that the team is worse now than the team Millsap came up through, it's all the more ****ing incredible that the franchise are holding out for the moon with Alsap. Or whatever the **** it is that they're doing.

**** or get off the pot. Take a leap of faith with the players that will probably (eventually) take you further, or plunge into the abyss and get picks. It's really simple. But we ****ing know what these veterans bring and where they can take you: Where the Rockets have been stuck for the previous three years. And who ****ing cares about that.

Boozer being hurt really helped with that.
