Game tonight! Magic at Jazz 7:00 pm mtn. The last best chance to break the losing streak

The players look down.
Quin looked beat.
The arena looked empty.
Did anyone see Dennis Lindsey?
 
Okay, so lets recap here:

From the 2010 draft, the Jazz came away with Favors and Hayward. Favors is a solid rotation player on a contending team. Hayward is an above-average starter and a 2nd or 3rd-option player with near All Star potential.

From the 2011 draft, the Jazz came away with Kanter and Burks. Kanter is a pick-and-pop big with some rebounding ability. He may be trade bait. Burks is a rotation player and possibly a starting scoring guard on a contending team, depending on the other pieces.

From the 2012 draft, the Jazz were shut out by the Warriors' and Rockets' tank.

From the 2013 draft, the Jazz picked up Burke, Gobert and Neto. All three are decent backup-type role players, though Burke may need to move on.

From 2014, the Jazz grabbed Exum and Hood. Exum is a potential star and Hood a decent 2-way player in the making.


So compared to where we need to go as a contending team we have

1st option - MISSING
2nd option - Exum
3rd option - Hayward
4th option - Burks or Hood
5th option - Favors

Back-up PG - Burks or Neto
Back-up C - Gobert
Back-up SG - Hood or Burks
Back-up PF - Kanter or Booker

The Jazz need to draft a dynamic, athletic first-option scorer. Probably this is a fairly big player, a PF or PF/C.
 
we really need to get the crowd involved early. we play our best when we run and have fun. just have fun out there. we don't play lick of defense anyway, so just go out there and run. few fast breaks early wakes up the crowds. i hate bad turnovers, but i don't mind 'passionate' turnovers. attack the rim early.

He's soft right now. Needs to continue his strengthening. His upside is massive.

He is about a 1/4" shy of legit 7'. Weighs 255. Great handles, ELITE passing, average athlete, scores with a hook (both hands) in the paint while possessing NBA 3pt range (srsly), and has fantastic court vision/awareness/IQ.
4.0 student, has the 'it' factor to be an ESPN commentator, right now.
He's blocking at a rate of 6.33 per 36, too.

But, he is getting pushed around a little too much. He's super young and I think he will get there, but he's not some can't miss all-star.

Thanks.
I know you hate comps.

Sounds kinda like aldridge tbh (like that earlier comp for what you describe)
 
I think we need to give props to Favors who put up 21 and 13 with 5 blocks. He was controlling the paint for the most part.
 
Towns isn't even KU's best big. The other guy is like Tyson Chandler. He's the guy that makes KU scary. A big man who blocks everything, rebounds everything, and can be an anchor in the post while also agile enough to defend guards. Insane. He's the anti-Kanter. He and Favors would go a long way to improving our defense. Have gobert report come off the bench and you finally have a defense.
