what he said.

basically we cant evaluate brukes playmaking skills
because we need an offensive system in which a pointguard his playmaking abilty is used.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with Dutch. I'm not a big fan of Trey; I think he's too small and too slow. However, if Utah is going to pursue the Hayward-as-playmaker model, the Jazz should go out and sign a Derek-Fisher type (in his youth) to play "PG" - i.e. someone that can just hang out behind the arc and make 3 after 3. There's really no need for a true PG with Godron trying to do everything.

Favors/Kanter line up played like **** today. Spacing was awful and our players are scared to pass into the post while someone is being fronted.

The lineup with Alec, Gordon and Garrett was actually not bad but the lineup with RJ instead of Garrett sucked big time.

Well when you turn your PG into a spot up shooter and only give him the ball after the play breaks down with only enough time to shoot what do you expect. You want Trey to be a better facilitator then the coach should let him initiated the offense.

Why are we turning our 6 foot PG into a spot up chucker?

This is a collective effort folks.

The Jazz ultimately, are a rudderless franchise. The same as they've been since Memo, Boozer, JSlo, and Dwill left.

We have a GM who wants to tank. A coach who wants to survive. A team fighting for new contracts.And an owner too busy passing gas and messing with his beard. He even appeared on a reality tv show!

This franchise can't make up its mind what it wants to do. Tank? Rebuild? Compete?

If we really want to make a playoff push then lets hurry and unload guys like Burke, Burks, and Kanter right now for vets.
 
So Hawes, Thompson and Irwing outrebounded all Jazz team by 9. Nice 3 reb mister 12 mil/year Favors. Nice 2 reb mister rebounding beast Kanter. Nice 2 rebounds mister Dunk champ Evans. Great effort all our young and athletic guys!

Yeah Hayward is a good playmaker for a wing but if you have a PG who can do that job better(AST/TO Ratio: 2.98 to 1.89) than you should let him do his job. Is it an advantage to have a guy like Gordon who can also be a facilitator? No qeestion about that but let Trey do his job. It can't be that hard.

This is a much bigger issue than speed and quickness. I saw it at Michigan just figured he was so tired from carrying the team. It appears he just doesn't want to put the energy into that end of the court. I've seen some really bad defenders turn around and be solid defenders after they mature and understand how important defense is at this level.

Laterally, Burke is not quick. He's mediocre. On All-Star weekend when he ran the court in the challenge with Lillard, I was surprised by how fast Burke ran the court. I think he can improve on his lateral quickness. And as far as taking the ball to the basket, there's no excuse. The guy should be driving to the hoop. As someone else already mentioned, Corbin isn't helping Burke one bit.

As a point of reference, It would be interesting to see how Williams would have played under Corbin.
