Jamaal Tinsley waived according to the internet

[♪alt13]

This was published yesterday before 2:00 p.m. and later Marc Spears said the Jazz would take time and work out a few people. Maybe that plan changed for some reason, as I see Spears has deleted that tweet.

I took a quick look at the 3 guys ESPN mentioned and I have to say I'm not that excited about Garrett. Among other flaws, Tinsley couldn't shoot, so the Jazz scour the world and bring in...a guy who shot 32.7% last year???? 20% from three? And only 5 out of 10 free throws? Nice job improving shooting.

TS% numbers for the three guys are Garrett 37.5%, Marshall 45.5%, Fredette 54.6%. I would have given Marshall a long look. Not as good a shooter as the Jimmer, but more of a real PG and much better shooting than Garrett.

I think Garret is perfect. We're not tanking we brought in this talented young man(*snicker*)

Garret's DLeague number were much better than that.

I'm sure they were. Every single player who makes a roster and gets sent down to the D-League SHOULD have better numbers. They get to play more and the competition isn't as good.

It sounds to me like this will be a try out for him, probably 10 day contracts and seeing what he does. Usually these guys never see the floor, at least not when the jazz have brought them up. Me thinks Burks will be in the point guard line up now, hopefully starting or something.

6' 5", not bad. Seems like he can be at least better then Tinsley.

Here's his Euroleague page(nothing really to read into there):

Where IS Morris Almond these days, anyhow?

Can't do 10 day contracts until later in the season. Have to sign players to non-guaranteed contracts.

Boom just read that, nice to know. Seems it's all official now, I wonder if he'll get some playing time tonight.
