Predict Memo's Impact On The Jazz

I think it's a positive. He will add much needed depth to this team. However if he completely relegates Fess to the bench then it may do more harm than good.

My ideal minutes with the return of memo would be.

AL 30
Millsap 30
Memo 20
Fess 16

These would be approximate for the PF/C positions. And minutes would obviously vary depending on how well the players were playing.

Will it be a positive or a negative impact from what we see transpiring?

Your Thoughts ?

Positive on offense, negative on defense.... But who knows he's seemed to have gotten a little less lazy on defense this last year... Unlike that stiff Boozer (and yes I think he's a stiff.. Especially on defense..))...

I think what Sloan is going to do when he comes back is bring him off of the bench at the 4, keep Fesenko/Elson at C for defense and use him to take the big man out of the paint so guys like CJ, Price, etc can cut to the basket... And if that isn't there, he'll spot up for the 3...I]

He will bring a positive confidence to the team when he steps on the floor simply based on two things:
He knows the offense -and-
he can stretch the defense with his perimiter shooting.

Even if he doesn't play that well the first few games when he gets back, I think the team will respond well.

Another 3 point shooter? Well, at least we will have one then. LOL.

Not sure what you meant by this. The Jazz don't have any 3-pt shooters? If that's the case, here is my rebuttal:

This year D-will is at 35% or 12-34 and AK is at 61% or 11-18 from beyond the arc. I understand that it may be a little inflated because it's the beginning of the season (hence why I'm not including Millsap at 75% or 3-4), but they seem to be shooting well.
 
Ya, Utah's 14th in the NBA in 3-point percentage thus far (although with limited attempts).

Memo is a potential game changer. Opposing teams have to account for him when he's on the floor. If used correctly, he can help the Jazz win games.

If he's counted on to do things he's not very good at (like, say, guard Dirk) for too many minutes at the expense of better players (given the game situation and team needs at the time), he will be the on court negative he has been for much of his time with the Jazz (please don't flame).

With this many new players on the Jazz, I'm going to continue to have a wait and see attitude. The range of possible outcomes is just too great right now.
 
I'd like to see how a Fes/Okur lineup would run. Theoretically, they are a perfect fit to be on the floor at the same time.. one provides interior toughness and defense, and the other pulls a big away from the basket opening up the floor.
 
We need him on our bench, our bench is very very thin this year...I'd say our best scorer right now is CJ miles! YIKES
