MEDIA DAY!!!!! ALL ABOARD!!!!!

Well Favors is listed as 260 on ESPN, so gaining 10-20 LB of muscle would be ridiculous. Wish media day had official weigh ins.

I think he was joking. I actually wanted to see Favors slimmed down a bit this year, now that he knows he's going to be playing the 4.

Is there no open scrimmage this year? Normally it's been before any preseason games but the 1st preseason game this year is on Sunday?

The thought is the Jazz want to do something but the first preseason games in Hawaii are making things difficult.

Good point. I guess not :-(

Jerret really sounds like the most boring person on the team. You can really tell in the tone of his voice he knows he isn't staying here. Everyone else sounds like they have at least a little bit of confidence.

I didn't realize his injury was that severe (torn labrum). Can he even go full contact yet? In any case. I just don't see a roster spot for him.

It's the same injury Burks had, took Burks about 9 months.

If ya'll want little tidbits on the Jazz you really should follow Locke on snapchat. dlocke9. he posts lots of good stuff.

Like two today:

says that the offensive focus is getting set and into a shot earlier in the shot clock.

Defensive focus, was seeing if all the little defensive habits returned. Snyder was pleased with what he saw.

Fantastic post-- this is the take-home for today, above all else, IMO.


This is why you gotta stay loyal with your players, and work with them. Hold them accountable, but allow room for error. From top to bottom everyone respects Dennis and Quin, and would walk through walls for them. They've done such a fantastic job with the post-Deron rebuild. It's hard to comprehend. Look no further than Derrick Favors-- I mean in 25/30 teams in the NBA, he would've been dumped or traded. Instead, they've allowed him to progress on offense step by step. He's come out of his shell slowly, on a social standpoint. Just got married, and now he's laughing more in interviews than any other player.


It's really, really refreshing to root for a team that has as phenomenal of a front office as the Utah Jazz. They have absolutely blasted this rebuild, and I think today is the culmination of that. Kudos to all.

Can you believe it, I actually liked one of your posts.

it will surprise me so freaking little if Trey just knocks it out of the park this year. It'll be yet another feather in the cap of the Jazz rebuild: when the entire league asked them to cut ties with him, they show patience, and they're paid back for it.

We can only hope ... it would be a miracle, however, like the old NY Mets of 1969

It means that there is less fat on his face probably

Yeah but does that mean he's leaner now and is quicker around the court? That would be awesome.. he's quite slow without much change of pace for a PG.


Talked about really good numbers coming out of P3 as well.. hopefully that will translate.

That should be fun. I wonder if they'll be playing outdoor.
