Quin needs to make a change

[tleikheen]

Keep Trey Burks as that 6th man,let him continue working on his offensive game.He's getting pretty good at getting points and can stay in the League focusing his game there.
Next year when Exum is back ,I expect the speed to Utah's offense and defense to dramatically improve,which will make Burke even more valuable off the bench.
I wouldn't give up on Burks,Hood,Hayward,Lyles Favors at this time.With Burke and Booker as energizers from the bench and Ingles the savvy glue guy and 3pt shooter.

Neto isn't providing spacing, isn't really a threat, and we are getting eaten alive by teams that have an average or above average PG.

That part is not on Neto, he defends better than TB. Putting TB in to start would make that worse.

 

[zman1527]

This is a good point. Trey took most of the shots from Hayward and Favors last night. I mean he was hitting them for the most part so there is no complaint there.

I cringe though whenever I see that box score and see Tb with the most shots on the team. I doubt that gives the opposing coach any heartburn.

it's a sure sign that the opponents' defensive game plan was well-executed.

I thought we had too many cakks and pies?

We needs some cookies...

And TB took the bait. LOL

Can't be too hard on him, he is playing better. But I would love to see him stop shooting when he is on the floor with Hay and/or Favs and focus on feeding them. He has shown he can and will run the PNR well with Favs but he does not seem to ever get an assist with Gordon.

Just for clarity: I'm definitely not saying he shouldn't have taken those shots. That's another discussion. What I am saying is the defense is taking away better options. That's all.

If Rudy is not hurt we are not even having this discussion because we have more W's and there is no need to second guess. And I imagine they are considering a different role for Hood based upon how much he is struggling. So that part of the change is probably inevitable.

 

[Jazz4ever]

At some point just have to come to terms the Jazz don't have the talent with Rudy and Exum out to beat the elite teams. I don't think there is any amount of mixing and matching the Jazz could have done to beat a team like OKC. The starters are sending mixed signals to Quin. They had amazing 1st quarters against NY an Indiana, but got crushed against OKC and Sacramento. The one move I would consider is moving Withey in the starting lineup or at least giving him 5 more minutes a game. I don't like Favors playing center for more than 10-15 minutes a game.

 

[Getting Traded]

I would start Burks the next game because they have Roberson guarding Hayward, which means Durant would have to guard Alec and you know Alec will just blow by him. That will force the Thunder to change things and maybe put them back on their heels at the start. I would just clear the lane for Alex and let him go to the rim which would open things up.

 

[jope]

Also... a bit off topic but... doesn't it seem odd that our talent,who are all in their early 20s play so few minutes (g leading the team in mins at 35)? The bench production would be far less of an issue if our top 7 or 8 guys played more mins.

This is quite possibly one of the lowest IQ comments. If teams are giving Burke the shot why in the world would he pass it up? The reason he should be starting is because he has shown the ability to make those shots he's given. It's when he's trying to create his own shot with the back ups where his percentages dip. Burke has shown the willingness and ability to set his guys up when defenses give him the passing lanes. The reason Neto shouldn't start is because teams aren't respecting him.
