missing next pick for 20 years.

[jazzfan1132]

So we draft, then turn around and trade the rights to that player to the team immediately below us.

But a bit selective:
Trey Burke - CJ McCollum
Rudy Gobert - Livio Jean-Charles
Enes Kanter - Tristan Thompson (Still prefer Enes)
Alec Burks - Markieff Morris
Jeremy Evans - Hamady N'Diaye
Goran Suton - Jack McClinton (just kidding)
Fesenko-Barac (at least Kyrylo gave us some comedic relief)
Ronnie Brewer - Cedric Simmons
*Paul Millsap - Vladimir Veremeenko
C.J. Miles - Ricky Sanchez

*Perhaps one of the best value picks ever.

yeah, there is a coin flip.
We've got 2nd round success
Millsap, Mo-Will, Anderson, Evans,Eisley etc.
but the 1st round trend looks like we drafted more speculated, like the idea of DL we will draft best possible player.

I don't think head-to-head is the ONLY measuring stick. DWill used to KILL CP3 in their matchups. But you'd have to rank them at least equals at that point in their careers (although injuries have now slid Deron down the list). For the season, JV averaged 11.3 pts and 8.8 rbds in 28 mins/per. Kanter averaged 12.3/7.5 in 27 mins/per. Blocks, assists and steals are insignificant by both.

I'd call that pretty much a draw.

How about FG and FT? Defense? Usage rate?
Check 82games.com for some more information. Kanter is ranked second last in all NBA in Roland rating which is very much based on your own production vs your direct opponents production. Reason Kanter is so low was because he could not stop anybody. He was outproduced by 6.3 pts on average.

And what is the reason for Favors to have 22.1 opponents production (Kanter has 23) ? Is this because they both can not defend anyone, or is this mainly because the Utah Jazz have the worst TEAM-DEFENSE in the NBA ?

Could that also be because Kanter plays on a unit that has only himself and Burks as decent players? Jazz were collectively the worst defensive team in the NBA. Sure, a part of that is Kanter; but it's also the team and the defensive scheme. I guarantee you AL Jefferson did not just wake up during the summer and become a great defender. But he is now on a team where defensive is played by all team members; where the coach emphasized defense, put in a scheme and is making players be accountable.

this thread is stupid.

jazz player development also sucks

 

[Getting Traded]

Dwill is better then Paul.. Paul has only won 2 playoff series and will not beat the Warriors this year either. He underperforms bigtime in playoffs. That lob city junk will never cut it in the playoffs

LOL -- CP3 is the third best player in the league. DWill is still a good-to-great player but CP3 is clearly better now.

Not really. I think it is more about individual matchups. Last year Kanter was leading Jazz in this regard as he was mainly beasting on second unit players. This year he was facing starters for most of the time and difference was huge. He was just not ready to be a starter in NBA, getting abused by everybody and that's why Corbin moved him back to bench. What is Jazz record with Kanter starting again? 1-29 or something?

To be honest Favors defense is quite overrated . He has tools but motivation/mentality sometimes is lacking. I doubt he will ever be elite defender. And there is no question Jazz defense was worst in NBA. We just did not have a single defensive enforcer aka JYD. ( Gobert showed flashes of potential here, but he is few years away from being that man)
