NAOS and a few others were spot ****ing on about Rubio.

He is a great fit as our playmaker. He brings an new exciting, dare I say fun energy to the offense.
The way he sets people up is so easy on the eyes.

I wasn't around lots during the summer-- did some people seriously ****ing think that Rubio was gonna be a terrible acquisition? That's mind-****ing-numbing to me.

There'll be times where we wish he could hit that crucial floater in the crucial-moments of the game (and frankly right now he seems to be doing that)-- but I seriously think we have the best contract for a PG (that isn't still on his rookie contract) in the NBA.

Hood will never be in a better situation for his career IMO-- it's a big season for him. I wish him the best.

My god he was good last night. I thought we overpaid for him. He might end up being a steal
 
Okc plays Minnesota tonight. Should be interesting to see how that plays out.

Some thoughts:

-If the Jazz can play like they did last night with any consistency, this is a 50-win team, even in this conference. Unbelievable how good this team can play so far, and they should only get better.

-With all due respect to Rudy, if there's a defensive player better than Udoh in the league at this point in the season, I want to see who it is. Rudy is blanket protecting the rim, but Udoh's defensive floor vision, instincts, and timing are blowing me away. He seems to make every possible correct decision and more. Totally blown away.

-Even on his new contract, Ingles is a damn steal. Pretty sure all of the best Jazz lineups will feature him and Rubio. His biggest issue is not shooting enough? Amazing.

-Rubio can only get better. The chemistry still has to develop as players are still surprised at having passes coming to them and it causes turnovers. When those situations get cut down, that's another three-or-so baskets a game. I don't love his pulling up for threes, but his pull-up midrange shot looks to be money and that's going to be important for his PnR with Rudy. And Jesus, the dude just hustles and gets into it.

-Mitchell in a lot of ways has been dog****. That he still impacts the game positively bodes well for him and the Jazz as he refines his shot selection, converts better, and builds chemistry with others. I think we would do well for him to cool it a bit, but I think he'll put it together.

-Rudy is just a ****ing monster. All he has to do is walk on the floor to change the opposing team's offense.

-Favors has looked damn good. That shot is going to be important, if it keeps going down and he's healthy, damn.

-Joe Johnson is invaluable when the offense stalls. Such a good player.

He was a steal. No might, maybe or other qualifiers needed. Jingles exudes what this team is. Hardworking, unselfish, hustling, smart and confident.

Jingles was a steal. Udoh was a mother****ing steal. Sefalosha was a steal. Rubio was a steal. Joe Jesus was a steal. Mitchell was a steal. Gobert, Favors, Burks and Hood are all steals at their current salaries. Haven’t seen Jerebko enough yet, but he might prove to be a steal also. There’s a pattern here.

It's true Mitchell's shooting is off. But you must be like an all-star voter who only evaluates based on PPG. Mitchell has played well in other aspect sf the game, including his defense and assists.

Assists: 4/2/6 (he led the team last nght)
Plus/minus: +22,-1,+3

I see a player making a few rookie mistakes, but generally doing everything else well, except his shot isn't falling.

Also, I know +/- can be deceiving, but Jazz aren't playing well when Rudy is in the game. He's been negative EVERY game thus far: -14, -15,-2. That is, by far, the worst for all Jazz players.
 
But the 13th pick of the draft hasn't played like a superstar 3 games into his rookie season. Plus he can't jump off of 1 foot. Total bust. Fire everyone in the front office.

Well, JJ contacted the Jazz (perhaps after being rejected by many teams; we don't know the whole back story). But I have to give credit to DL for Sefalosha and Udoh, especially. The FA market had all but dried up after Utah waited for "the decision." Then suddenly, DL has a flurry of signings. Udoh wasn't on ANYONE'S radar. And yes, Ingles. That was like the Bolombiy situation. Clippers decided to keep another player, IIRC, because of an injury at a different position.

I really wouldn't classify Burks and Favors as "steals," though. Burks was a lottery pick and hasn't performed up to that. Favors was selected #3, right? And Utah got him for an all-star. Now, I guess because DWill flamed out to his health problems, that was a steal. At the time, it was a fair trade. And I'm still not a fan of the Favs/Gobert tandem.

The fact that this is what you're translating what people have said about Mitchell to this is pathetic, really.
