Jazz claim Joe Ingles and Jordan Hamilton off waivers.

Knowing something about the Nuggets, would you prefer Hamilton or Quincy Miller? Wonder if the Jazz were hoping to get Miller off waivers (though that won't be known until Wednesday), as he's younger/longer/probably more potential, though less production at this point.

I prefer Hamilton. Miller is even more inconsistent on offense and although I like his rebounding and shot-blocking I think Hamilton can rebound well also (probably 4 rebounds per 20 minutes - not bad for a SF who's known for his shooting). Did some research and saw Miller tore his ACL during high school. Eek.
 
That makes the team

Burke/Exum/Clark
Burks/Murray
Hayward/Hood/Hamilton/Ingles
Kanter/Booker/Evans/Novak
Favors/Gobert

We are heavy on power forwards and small forwards. We could really us another guard.

Not that light at SG. Both Hayward and Hood play both sg and sf.

He is better at Hayward at nothing.

The only reason we got this guy is because of Exum, let's be honest.

He is longer, that's a fact, so not going to argue it. Not saying he can use it or anything else but, I'm hundred percent sure that Hayward won't add inches to his wingspan anytime any soon.

The cuts; it's arguable, I've seen many cuts from Hayward the three years I've watched him, he has it. But they were never natural as Ingles can do. To me, it's that way, you can see the other way, I respect that. It's subjective.

Dynamic shooting; well, every basketball player(most players at least) has his own unique thing that they can do very well. For Ingles, this is it. The guy has a good shooting balance and can really shoot the ball off the balance, like while running, after dribble or while leaning sideways. How good is Hayward at these? He even struggled with his spot up shooting for a long time.

I don't know what did I say to get such a strong objection from you but to assure my viewpoint, I will state that I in no way think that Ingles is as good a player as Hayward is. Not even close. If my Hayward Lite phrase made you think that I think that way, forget about it. Gordo is the better player by miles in any kind of comparison.

But you said, let's be honest. I was and still am honest with the things I said.

It's kind of like saying Ian Clark would be a better 3pt shooter than Hayward since his 4 year college averages where off the charts, then he gets to the NBA and he isn't nearly as good a 3pt shooter. The NBA athleticism, size, and strength changes things and some players can't adapt.

No it's not. We are talking about Euroleague level here. Sorry but you're talking from the typical NBA high-horse. Ingles is a well known talent who proved himself to be not maybe a star but a very beneficial player on multiple high levels. Now, he's gonna try to make it in the NBA.

From your point of view, Diamantidis or Spanoulis are worse PGs than all NBA PGs.
 
What I thought as well. I am surprised that he couldn't find a place in Clippers bench. He should be better then Hedo at least.
I believe he could be very useful here in Quin's fast system. It's very alike with David Blatt's system with Maccabi.
