What's new

Let's show em' how it's done in Detroit tonight

As a Kanter supporter let me just say that I'd like to have him come off the bench. Start Booker.

Let Kanter figure out the defensive schemes against back ups. He'll like that more and let's just be honest, until Exum starts, the ball moves better with the bench unit.

This might work. I like the idea. Booker has both a defensive intensity as well as a sweet outside shot that would make him fit better into the stretch-4 role. The only issue I see with it is that there's some pretty solid chemistry developing in the Exum/Booker/Gobert trio, especially with Ingles as an extra facilitator. I think that bench group is meshing nicely.
 
Monroe is like what Kanter will be if he lives up to 100% of his potential. Monroe isn't anymore physically gifted, but is 10 times smarter.
Monroe could be a better palyer than Kanter but Kanter is way better than you think.
He is coming along well, with all those rebound numbers going slowly but steadily up.
He was, and still is special.
He has to blossom, though!
Jazz, as they are now, are the right place for that. Under QS, Jazz are a totally rejuvenated animal. They were frozen once under the guidance of TyCo like a siberian Mammoth but they are alive now.
I would go on and give the whole credit to proper coaching for this very good season start!
(and pls lemme add that Jazz can only be incrementally better than last year's team roster-wise)

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your basketball team (mandatory Hoosiers tribute)
 
Exum played 21 minutes . Trey 24. (per CBSSports) that's 45 total.
Was there a time that neither were on the court? If so, who played pg?

In the first half, there was a moment when both Burke and Exum got 2 fouls each and Quin got them out. Burks and Hayward were playing poing guard and forward respectively.

kanters DFG % improved from 60 to 56 % after this game. I think he played very good defense against Pistons and the numbers are backing up. Kanter still has moments looking like a dumbass on D, because of it everything seems worse than it is. I think he will came along. It´s not easy for him to play defense at the 4 position.

Ya I thought he played pretty good defense last night too
 
How about Jingles? I'm really liking what he brings to the team. He has been to passive to start the season but he has been a nice piece for us. Defensively he is solid, no big mistakes, and plays great team defense. His one on one defense isn't great but it isn't bad either. His offense spacing is excellent, and so is his passing. He over passes right now but i'd rather overpassing then bad shots. If he can give us 6-7ppg and continue everything else that will be huge.
