Quietly Exum and Lyles 6 for 7 shooting the rock and suppose to be busts

Their shooting could have just been lucky shots but these two have been trashed as not deserving a chance to get onto the court.If the Jazz are to lose ,lets see if they have game.Diaw and Mack look lead foot against the Warriors and Exum and Lyles bring more athleticism and that's starting to look like what Jazz need to compete.

You are basing your topic on 1 game from 90 or so this season.
 
I mean, I want to see Lyles and Exum prosper too, but the Jazz are in a situation of being in the 2nd round versus arguably the unbeatable team of the league while they also are considered to be a bad matchup for the Warriors with their style of play. You want to see X and Lyles hit the court, bring intensity and earn valuable experience, but in this sitatuion you also can't risk them screwing up your plan in risky minutes because they are not ready.

Didn't watch, but one thing about Exum is that Snyder needs to put him on the floor with other capable offensive players. One of my biggest complaints about Quin is his WTF lineups that he likes to play with, and he's done it since he's been here. I remember one game in Portland last year where Utah had complete control of the game, only for Quin to give away a 15 point lead with a lineup that was so ridiculous, I was convinced he did it on purpose because winning wasn't the top priority and he wanted the team to have to fight through adversity. He kind of blew my theory this year when we were definitely trying to win and he still sometimes gives a team 10 points or more with some crappy lineup.

Anyway, I'll have to go watch that quarter, but I won't be surprised if Exum is on the floor in a WTF lineup.

there were 2 portions of the game last night that Quin trotted out wtf lineups, both times we leaked 10 points in no time.


As far as the Exum thing goes, i think now we're really not in win now mode anymore. No.1 is Mack isn't going to be here next year so what is the point in playing him ahead of Exum, and no.2 Mack is dreadful against this team. Dante may screw some stuff up but Mack is going to as well and at least Dante is long and quick enough to get after it defensively. And who knows, he might just grow a bit from the experience which i think is worth it.
 
Just out of curiosity, what are the most important things for you guys that Dante and Trey need to work on this off season?

For X it's contested and uncontested shooting and maybe shooting mechanics.


For Lyles it is defense and hustle and passing.

i'd like Dante to jump into a time machine and fast forward to when he's 26 and a terrific player.


but for next year.. a bloody pull up 14 - 16 ft shot. He's either attack all the way to the basket or shoot a 3

I'm not basing it off the regular season ,only this playoff game ......much more important and more pressure based than a regular season game.How a player responds when 4 games won gets you closer to a NBA Championship or 4 losses your season is done shows if you can perform under the spotlight.This is why so many here want to see if a young players energy and focus can be channeled and be counted on when the stakes are so high.Regular season is done,it's national tv time and the bright lights are on.

Exum: more strength, 3 point shot, keeping a defender on your hip when in the lane (like Hill and Hayward can do), using body as shield when going for a layup.
 
I think Exum,Lyles and Burks get better just by getting stronger.Put them on a rigid summer program,not to bulk them up but to run.Snyder has to speed up the tempo of the Jazz.

Whatever Hayward and Gobert tell them to do this offseason they should do it. End of story
