I'm glad we actually have young guys to enter the "complain about the young guys minutes" era.

Jazz roster pre-Danny Ainge. . . average age of 28.3 with 8/9 of the Jazz top players that year over the age of 27. Mitchell was 25.

Jazz roster today. . . average age of 24.5 with only three probable key rotational players older than 27 - Dunn (29), Clarkson (31) and KO (32). Every other major player is 27 or younger.

And. . . every single player older than Markkanen is on an expiring contract at the moment.

This list also doesn’t include the 9 players that have been acquired and either traded or cut since DA took over. Bolmaro (23), Vando (24), NAW (25), Beasley (27), Hernangomez (28), House (29), JTA (30), Westbrook (34) and Beverley (35) - (average age of 28.3)

He averaged 26 mpg in his 2nd season.


Gobert's big break happened when Kanter got injured.

I vividly remember this game (Bulls were a very very good team this year) as the game where I flipped the switch from not believing in Gobert at all to oh **** he is the real deal: https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/400578820

I think that was the 3rd or 4th game he started that season. Kanter came back from injury shortly after that and Utah lost a bunch of games and it was super ****ing obvious to anyone with eyeballs how much of a massive difference the team played with Gobert vs Kanter and we traded Kanter a month later.

That was the last season the Jazz were a terrible team and the Jazz havent been bad bad since. Kanter basically the only player from the past 30 years of Jazz basketball to make us complete ***.


*Also why it's hilarious to me posters get labeled as "haters" of certain players just because you arent leading their bandwagon from Day 1. I thought Gobert was *** for the first year and half he was with Utah and then I became a huge fan. Lame as **** how some posters on this site never want to give anyone room for their opinions to evolve/change*

I agree however I would say there is a big gap between "leading their bandwagon from day 1" and constantly being critical of a player or saying they need to be traded or be put in the g-league or rarely being complimentary of a player who is playing well/always pointing out the negatives without pointing out any positives. etc.
I did this with exum. I was a hater from day 1. I was always pointing out his negatives while rarely giving props on his positives. I do the same with KO. I admit it.
