Orlando Summer League info, July 5th-9th

Dominic Waters is my early pick for the guy who surprises everybody and gets a camp invite.

We've got a really good summer league team this year, I wonder if Wesley being so successful has very much to do with that.

No, I think it's the fact that for the first time in many years, we actually may have 3-4 roster spots available. And those spots are at every positon. Most of the time our roster is nearly set going in to the summer league. Agents will direct their players to the teams that give them the best shot at making a roster. This year, add Utah to the list where multiple rookies and D-Leaguers have a legit shot.

Probably subtract Boozer and Korver. Add Hayward. Also take into consideration we had Gaines and Jeffers filling out our roster. That at least 3 roster spots up for grabs, just to get the Jazz back to 13. Maybe 4 if KOC decides to carry an extra big until he's sure Okur will be able to play. And even more spots if for some reason the Jazz don't match offers for Matthews or Fesenko. '

Boom Tho and Nichols were in the Pacer's camp last fall and didn't get much of a run in preseason gaems.

Here's a nice write-up about the roster. I don't know if this guy is a Jazz fan or what.

What's up with all these people saying Benson's personality might be keeping him out of the league? What am I missing? He seems like a likeable guy. Does he think he is above coaching or something?

Benson has a nationally famous blog. There is some concern that stories about the team would end up on yahoo sports via Benson's blog.

He had a run with the Pacers in training camp and didn't get much of an opportunity minutes wise in the preseason. His 24 points and 16 rebound average in the DLeague playoffs shows he can play at that level.

Last year he didn't blog during summer league.

Othyus Jeffers fact - Othyus Jeffers was once shot in the leg protecting his sister from an abusive boyfriend. Noble.

Wow, I did not know that. Jeffers is a hero. I'm looking for a hero.

Awesome, Paul Harris is on the roster. If we lose Matthews, I wouldn't mind seeing him on the Jazz's roster.

I want this white guy on the Jazz's summer league team. That first dunk is just sick and the followed up flex is flat out called for.

All I'm saying is that you should not be surprised if Hayward demonstrates a jumpshot in this tournament that is smoother than a baby's arse. His 29% three point percentage from last season was an aberration. In the U-19 championships last summer, Hayward's jumpshot was Garrity calibre. That was no aberration either; his jumpshot has been good in every year except last year. And when you consider the versatility of the rest of his game, plus his sufficient athleticism, then you'll realise why Pat Garrity does not suffice as a comparison, and why Utah had to pick him at 9 before Oklahoma City could. It's still a reach, but it'll be deemed less so when the overdue jumpshot turns up.

NO NO NON ONOONOONOONNO

Hayward can't shoot, damn it. ONLY look at one stat. IT'S RIGHT THERE. IGNORE EVERYTHING ELSE. He can't shoot.


NOOOOO. He can't shoot. 29, 29 29 29 29 29.
