This is an indication of how far we have fallen when we are talking about Juzang getting meaningful minutes

I'm afraid I have to disagree with this statement. With the current NBA having a player like Juzang on your bench becomes very important. Players that will come in and not lose your games. He is the kind of player that playoff teams covet. They are very affordable and will not lose you games.

Too early for victory laps, but man did Juzang look the part.

I dont even care about his steaming hot shooting night, but his decission making and passing were on point in addition to being one of our better defenders. The no-look pass to Brice at the end was awesome.

He also constantly relocates on offense to find the soft spots instead of spectating when others have the ball.
 
Vastly improved stats from year 1 to year 2. Lets see if he has another jump in him. Really just needs to be stronger on defense. But, that's the while team, so hard to say.
 
whatthe said:
A shooter with good size, good aptitude, without lead feet. That cures a lot of problems for a team.

It's the "without lead feet" part that surprises me even more than the shooting part (which I was a bit skeptical of coming out of UCLA). We still need to see it over larger stints, but I thought his lateral movement was going to be his achilles heel. I think he may be proving me wrong.
 
I thought Juzang was a nice player, but not necessarily one that had the best chance at sticking onto an NBA roster. Being a 3&D role player is typically the pathway for these wings and he wasn’t known for either of those things at UCLA. He was really more of a tough shot maker. To me that signaled more of a great Euro player…but he’s looked good in a smaller role.

We’ve seen some success stories of these types of prospects transition to smaller roles and thrive. Austin Reeves is a guy that comes to mind. He was a heavy ball dominant player at Oklahoma but has really thrived in a different kind of role in the NBA.

Brice and Flip will also have to make this kind of transition.
 
i saw his play friday, and thought: well it's good to have some stabilizing vets for our guys. how old is he anyway? (checks the internet) holy hand grenade, he's 23. he's the same age as walker kessler. guess what folks, he's Part of the youth movement. he has a multi year. he's one of the best shots on the team. he has positional size. i don't care where he came from, he has skill. too often we draft players and try to turn them into stars, but there's nothing wrong with someone being a backup player. a bench energy guy. can't have too many cheifs, and he's making a good case for being that hard working soldier.
 
i feel juzangs role will be the same as last year. Maybe more minutes after ASG when the tank is completely obvious. Jazz need to 'appear' competitive first, they need to sell trickets then theyll shut down lauri, clarkson, collins.

They signed him to a 4 year deal. They have incentive to play him.
 
so we are claiming that the guy who nailed several threes in a row and helped the team win the game will be played to drive the tank? i think he might have something to say about that.
