I looked at Fitts’ college stats and now I’m an expert. He shot really well from deep and rebounded well. I wasn’t paying enough attention to his defense but if he’s a competent defender (which would make him a relatively good defender compared to the rest of our guys) and he can have Oni’s role.

Haven’t watched the whole game… what I saw he looked solid on defense. I’m research him for 5-10 minutes and become an expert too.

I don't think the Jazz are looking to move Ingles off the ball, during the scrimmage he was handling the ball a ton. I think that's more just what Locke thinks they should do. He's too good of a playmaker to take the ball out of his hands. I expect Gay to get all of the backup 4 minutes.

Yeah, Ingles is the only one big enough to pass the ball to Rudy over the defense.
 
Right now, Butler is the 3rd-string PG behind Conley and Ingles (understanding that Mitchell will play with the ball in his hands). However, he might take minutes from Oni as the 3rd-string SG depending on matchups. Both Butler and Hughes might get ahead of Oni in the rotation. You'd expect Butler to play if one of the guards ahead of him in the rotation is out for some reason.

Gobert / Whiteside / Azubuike
Royce / Gay / Paschall
Bojan / Hughes
Mitchell / Clarkson / Oni
Conley / Ingles / Butler
 
So all y’all idiots are telling me that even if Butler is really good this year, Quin says too bad hes tenth, can’t play oh well. Quin will figure it out if he really does make the team better

Butler reminds me of Brandon Roy a bit. Roy was bigger more physical, but other then that, they seem to share a similar play style.

Oh no, you went there, didn't you?

Not really comforted by the comparison after Tim McMahon was mumbling something on the Spence Checketts show the other day about many teams not confident that Butler's knees will even make it to a second NBA contract.
 
Wow, Butler looks amazing. The game seems slowed down for him. Thurl and Boler used the word beautiful over and over to describe his game.
