Quinn Snyder Believes that Defense is the Great Equalizer

[Jazz Spazz]

If we can sign Exum for 4/32 I'd be really happy. The guy can defend and he's only going to get better. I'm likely one of the few JFers who still believe his offensive ceiling is high. If he can reach even 70% of his potential he'll be decent.

I also get those who have given up. It's been so long. He has the potential, I'm not sure anymore if it will be realized. I do hope so though.

I'm with you. Dante still has a huge upside. His assists are going to go way up, because he plays smart and increasingly draws defenders. His FT attempts are going to go up because he's attacking more. As he gets stronger(which is already apparent) every part of his game will get better. Would be great if he could learn to shoot off the dribble.

His FG% last season was great. I know it was done in under 20 games but he showed me a lot, especially in the playoffs. Thank goodness we can match if he signs somewhere else. What teams can even pay him around 10M per season? It's got to be a short list.

He doesn't play terrified anymore. I think it's because he's growing an NBA-body and isn't afraid of contact or whatever his issue was, plus he's not even at his physical prime yet. I'm not even banking on him shooting at 35% from three - as long as he keeps attacking the rim I'm happy. Heck, Kobe shot under 33% from three for his career but like Exum, he had that first step we always like to talk about.

I think this is the year we'll see Dante breakout. It's going to be challenging for Quin to keep him off the court.

I'm with you. I liked the attacking he did in the playoffs, if he can just stop letting the ball squirt out of his hands into the stands after a good move, that would be huge for me. He very well could be a mismatch. I do love his defense often.

That would be a great deal for us. I am also hoping for that.

We should be so fortunate to have that problem. It'd be a testament to how well this team is constructed to have the sort of depth where everyone needs playing time because they're just that good.
