It's More Than Us Jazz Fanz that Want Neto Now!

Absolutely. I think he has more point guard attributes than Burks does, but that doesn't make him a point. Because a player can handle and pass doesn't make them a point guard.

you mean if gordon hayward was 6'2" he would be a point guard?

Sometimes when a coach decides to start a player, it gives that player confidence because he realizes that the coach has confidence in the player and believes in him.

How long does that confidence last as he gets shredded on the court?

What besides "point guard attributes" makes someone a point guard. Blow my mind.

We could have had MCW if it wasn't for Corbin.

Oh please stop. DL owns that draft. Aren't there enough real reasons to not like Ty?

I like Netos chances. He definitely needs to speed up the release on his jumper doe.

A good point. I do see he has both a quick release on certain shots and a slower release on others. See the video for when he had all day to measure a three pointer, versus other shots in traffic when he squeezed the trigger more quickly.

I don't know.
Would love to find out though. (I have heard that his confidence/attitude/swagger is one of his strengths)

There was a lot of talk that corbin was the one who pushed for trey.

Btw, the jazz have about 5 or more people involved in thier draft decision making process..... and the coach has a lot of say about it.

lol @ anyone who thinks Neto is anywhere close to Burks' league.

The feel for the game, understanding how to control/dictate tempo, etc. Not sure why you didn't include my last sentence in the quote considering it answered the question for you.

I'm a bit confused about why Neto isn't coming over. I know there are strategies with regard to contracts and playing time, etc. But, there's willingness on his end, he has established report with some of our players, and we have a clear need for creative players. I think the pros of bringing him over now seem to outweigh the cons. But, I suppose another year overseas can't hurt too much.

Anyway, I still laugh at the jazzfanzers who think this is a major issue. Neto is a 8th or 9th guy at best.

NBA teams are like very difficult puzzles with contracts fitting together, so I'd like to assume DL has his reasoning for not bringing him over quite yet. But I agree that he'd be 8th or 9th guy at best - but I think he'd be an excellent source of depth in that role.

No that's not what I said at all. No sense in having a convo about 'if Hayward was 6'2'. Totally meaningless.

I think Neto is better than Burke right now. Don't think it's tanking at all to move Burke and bring over Neto.

Neto was better than Burke at summer league last year.Trey has got the nod over Raul simply because he was a 3rd pick and not a 47th pick. I have mentioned many times that Neto is our guy at point guard.The Jazz not bringing him to the team now is a mistake on the Jazz part.
