Can we really claim Pistol since he played the majority of his career with Atlanta and New Orleans? It seems weird to me that people are ranking him ahead of folks like Dwill, Boozer, AK47, Spida, etc who played their best seasons in Utah.
Idk I listed their Utah stats only on the polls. He was still a force in Utah. Better than a lot of people who played here. He played 330 games in Utah/NO and averaged 25 ppg with the Jazz. Crazy stat line of 25 ppg, 4.3 rpg, 5.6 apg, 1.4 spg for the Jazz.
This is my greatest fear. I would lean toward trading him just due to speculation it becomes chronic. Bad enough if it's his ankle. Even worse if it's his foot.
He is shooting less at the rim for sure. Down from %26 of his shots to %14 but his %FG went from %64 to %71 so the looks he is getting at the rim are much better. Most of the attempts at the rim his rookie year progressively became 3s. That helped his %efg too. It's less exciting but I think it helped him improve offensively since he hasn't been great at going to the FT line.
100% agreed. It seemed like we could just outscore anyone anytime with ease. The Hydra was in full effect and we were getting points from all over the place to the point that teams had to play to get the bad option instead of the worst option against us. It was a fun season capped off by a big cold slap in the face when we exited the playoffs in a series we absolutely should have won. I remember during the season thinking that the way the Jazz were playing there is no way any team could catch us four games out of seven having an off night.
Done
