Jazz sending a message

[fishonjazz]

I do not think that word means what you think it means. /Princess Bride

Seriously, hypocrisy is not the word you want. It's only hypocrisy if the Jazz are saying one thing and doing another. In this case, the Jazz are not saying that Hayward and Burks have equal talent and are being treated equally. Or if they are, I've missed it somehow. Same thing with Favors and Kanter.

I think he means hypocrisy as in the jazz and corbin like to say that you have to earn your minutes, but that is not the case for some players

There is a reason that both Hayward and Favors are on the best under 25 list and Kanter and Burks aren't.

Because favors and hayward have been given more minutes, opportunities, and prefferential treatment with the jazz?

And have more years in the league?

 

[fishonjazz]

Right now they are. Also the topic is consistency not who is better. Favors has been consistent. Anything else Trolling Accomplished?

Lately alec has been more consistent than hayward imo

I think we might be kind in saying Hayward has been inconsistent. Inconsistency implies he's been up and down- good sometimes, bad sometimes, perhaps 50/50. The Jazz have played 27 games this season, Hayward has shot over 50% 5 times.

IDK, could it possibly be that Favors and Hayward play defense as opposed to being complete liabilities?

I never once said Hayward has been consistent. Not one single time. Favors has been and he was said to be inconsistent by Trolling Accomplished.

Also last night Hayward played 27 minutes and Burks 34. Just sayin.

I'm not saying you are wrong. But, I have yet to hear Favors has to earn his place. Or see Hayward not average tons of minutes since he came into the league. If you wanna crown them go ahead and crown their @^%%^&.

It sounds like you want to see more minutes for Kanter and Burks. I would agree, but why tear down Hayward and Favors? You are barking up the wrong tree.

Favors has clearly been the most consistent of the 4. The difference between AB and GH is overall game. While I think Gordie is not a max player he contributes in multiple facets of the game, even when his shot is off. And teams still feel a need to guard him which is good for everyone else. Alex has been inconsistent and when he is not scoring, his decision making and other parts of the game are a problem. And there are games when teams simply don't worry about guarding him. Not a huge GH fan but IMO he clearly contributes more and more consistently than Alex.

Favors is the ONLY consistent young Jazz right now. Hayward is really struggling. DL looks like a genius not resigning him. He is not worth $8m+/year.
Burks.. He certainly is the most exciting Jazz these days.. Brilliant slasher. BUT sometimes his moves are wild and raw. Shot selection is suspect.
Overall I am very unhappy with young players development. This is the coaching staff's fault, mainly of Corbin who specializes on ruining kids' confidence with bizarre rotations.

DL should have signed a head coach with proven ability to develop young players loooong ago

This thread is at 4 pages. Seems like he hit the exact tree he was aiming for.
