George Hill coming to Utah

[kabenac]

It's going to be interesting to see if we can sign Hill. If not, it's not the end of the world. It would suck, but we've got four first-rounders in the next two years (granted they won't be lottery picks as the Jazz are going to be awesome and the OKC pick is protected and I doubt GS will magically fall apart).

We have more picks than we have roster spots.

Speculation, but perhaps DL didn't like any of the guys at 12 and he'd rather not have that potential roster spot filled the next few years by any of those available players in this year's draft....

Sure - in two years Joe Johnson and others could be gone and there will be openings that need filled, but we'll be in a solid position and if we're winning and are a playoff lock we will attract talent easier than if we're a mediocre team.

It's going to be interesting!

Two of the biggest lies on Jazzfanz are that Exum is mentally weak and timid and that Favors plays with no Passion and Fire.

A couple of years ago I paid close attention to Favors for an entire game that I attended. IMO his body language did show a lack of passion and confidence. I did a similar thing at a game last year. I was impressed by how far he has come in that respect. I'd still like to see him take another step. If he had Karl Malone like passion and confidence I believe he could become capable of producing Karl Malone type results.

The only report came out was taht Atlanta was looking to move up in the draft with both picks. They didnt watn to get rid of the picks.

The report I saw said they were trying to free up cap room; hence the desire to get future assets instead of draft picks. But it was moot since it then came out Horford doesn't like Howard.

Don't look at the sample size, but George Hill posted +9.5 on/off and +25+/- numbers in the playoffs... he also kept Lowry to under 40% shooting in every single game in the playoffs(3/13, 4/13, 8/21, 4/12, 3/11, 4/14, 5/14).

Shot 56% from the field and 48% from 3.

Sir, as a fan of the game and someone who is more than likely watching the game from home, how do you measure passion and confidence?

You look at his pants. If you can see his wiener through his shorts he has passion and confidence.

Um, gross.

My post said I attended the games so what do you mean by "from home," and I'm talking about body language.

Joebag is committed to it.

Well, I think you're one of the smarter dudes on the board so I'm guessing you'd observe Favors in multiple games and most of those would be from home. And since passion and confidence are usually mental attributes, how do you measure those things from body language?

do you have any specific qualifications when it comes to reading body language?

I didn't claim to have done some sort of comprehensive study. I believe that you probably know the difference between confident behavior and tentative behavior (for example), but anything can be misinterpreted. Maybe Favors has always been an ultra-confident ultra-passionate guy and I have simply misinterpreted it.
