Well then, my posts are not only wrong, but they can't spell either. This is my second post in the Jazz forum in... maybe... 6 months?
Well i was referring more to the fact that prob 2000 of your post on this board have something to do with "Chucker J Miles" here in the Jazz forum more than how often you happen to post now.

I had not even thought of him. Lindsey has used all of the other assets, so maybe.....
Just a reminder. Draft picks can be traded 30 days after the draft, regardless of when they signed. Sunday July 28th is 30 days. Next week.....

Burke being optioned to Bakersfield. Jazz signing Mo Williams to a 5/$35M deal.
JK. Probabkly nothing more than the official signing of Clark and the release or trade of McNeal.

Nah. No point in releasing McNeal till after camp. Let him think he's in a battle for the last roster spot. Can't hurt him to see limited time in a couple of meaningless pre-season games.

Maybe they've sent Biedrins off to the glue factory?
With that fancy new jumbotron, there's got to be concern about one of his FT's hitting and breaking it.

Good point. Maybe they have just decided to send Jefferson to the old folks home down the street from the stadium? Play against some of them so he can resurrect his career.
Ball don't lie
I happened to record the Heat-Indiana semi-final game in the Orlando summer league because it was on immediately prior to the Jazz game. I didn't pay much attention to Clark at the time except to notice that he was the best player on the court for long stretches. After his signing, I re-watched the game and confirmed my initial impression: Clark is a player. He has a great all-around game and took it to the hole several times, belying the idea that he can't drive or slash. The obvious reason he has a low number of free-throw attempts is that he's well beyond the three-point line on most of his shots, and the defenders back off until they realize he can hit them with great consistency. As they say "Ball don't lie" and he can really shoot it. The fact that he was named defensive player of the year in two leagues belies the second myth about him: that he can't play defense. He's quick, crafty and determined. Here's my long-shot prediction: he will one of the top 10 rookies next season and will push Rush and Burks for playing time. There's just no substitute in today's NBA for a long-range shooter, and he will be among the best. He may not have the greatest athleticism, but but flashiness doesn't equate with offensive production.

Only thing that concerns me is his funky release point. He puts the ball out in front of him and shoots it from a point a 5'10" player would. It is a quick release, but could see NBA defenders easily running him off the line or blocking it.
Release points aren't that big of a deal for role players, IMO. It's not like we want him shooting contested jump shots. As long as he can get it off with enough quickness, it shouldn't be a problem.
