Seriously. He’s superb from the line. There’s no reason if he stays in Utah for the summer and works on his shot that Rubio can’t come back and hit between 35-37% from 3 next year.
That would be so ****ing huge to who we are.
I’d roll with the whole team. I can’t think of a single player whose personality, what we see at least, that bugs me.
Gobert, Crowder, Mitchell, Ingles, O’Neale, Rubio, Favors, Jerebko...
Yep. I think we can trust him to be the biggest BAMF on the team. And notice he was closing over Favors. Realize that was in part because of no KAT. But I'd say Quin already trusts him.Jeff Teague shoulder-checks Rubio into the front row.
First guy in Teague's grill? Jae Crowder.
Then follows up by getting in Thib's face.

The biggest key to Ricky is getting to the rim effectively and not missing layups. When he can do that, he can get Utah through our tough shooting stretches. The 3 point shooting is important, but not the most critical part of what Ricky brings to our offense, despite all the criticism he took early in the year for not being able to shoot.
Anybody who can be a defensive stopper against big wings in the playoffs is a keeper. It’s one of the reasons I’m hoping for a Burks for Carroll swap this offseason. Gobert, Udoh, Favors, Thabo, Crowder, Carroll, Jingles, O’Neale, Mitchell, Exum and Rubio is one hell of a defensive lineup.Yep. I think we can trust him to be the biggest BAMF on the team.

And his father is on record as saying he hopes Jae finishes his career as a member of the Jazz. If Snyder can help Jae rediscover his shooting touch, especially from the other corner as a 4, Jae could be part of the answer the Jazz need.
This has been part of the Dubs strategy imo. They have not only elite talent and shooting but a lot of toughness with Green, Zaza (Bogut before), Iggy, etc.
Get athletic, multi-faceted guys who can shoot and buy into playing great defense. Have a big body who can rebound and play d at the 5. We have the 5 and a multi-faceted guy in Mitchell. In Ingles too but he’s more of a bench/5th man imo.
If Rubio ever developed his shot, he’d be one of those guys so I’m very curious to see if there’s growth next year. Exum could maybe be one too. But I highly doubt either are gonna be your typical top 2-3 guy on a championship team type of guy.
That’s what we need. One more gem in the draft to become a stud. Or for Exum to turn into Kobe. And for Rubio to stay in Utah and work on his shot this summer and come back next year hitting ~36% from 3.
Probably as long as it took some people to comprehend the fact that the Bermuda triangle wasn't the root of all our problems.

Boo! Booo!Call me cynical, and I know I’ll get lambasted for saying this, but I think Mitchell bolts the first chance he can. He seems too mature and too happy for me. His dad has coached him up his whole life on how to play the PR game and the kid has done it almost perfectly.
I just don’t buy it. I’m jaded I guess.
That's seven years down the road at the earliest. What's the point of even having a thought about that for the next 6 years.I’m serious though. He always just seems “on” like he’s Tom Cruise or Will Smith or some other weird Hollywooder.

Fishing trip with Ingles would be pretty good. Don't think I could hang with Rudy, those suits...
But it is a conscious decision to post those thoughts. Too bad the neg feature is gone.The point? It’s not always a conscious decision to have thoughts.
