Raul Neto Interview

[Tony]

Thanks for the translation. Repped. To me the following section does not necessarily say what others seem to interpret:

I guess it all depends on how you interpret, "There was a player talk about that also..." What does that mean?

There was a talk with the coaching staff and players about him and Hood being placed as starters.

"My style of play fit better than Trey Burke's."

Hmm, that's very telling right there.

**** Corbin.

There was player talk about that also. Meaning the players also (on top of FO people and coaches) talked about how his style fit better than did Trey's.

Seemed pretty easy to interpret for me.

How terrible/irrelevant to our success was the PG last year? We were 14-15 with Mack. We were 26-27 with Neto. Our PG's were TERRIBLE.

It's interesting that our starting lineup was killing it all year both with Neto(+7.2 net rating) and with Mack(+10 net rating). Both of those were top 10 starting lineup sin the league. The biggest problem was when other players got mingled into the lineups and the PGs became more responsible for creating offense.

Our top 5-6 players are all solid NBA players. If I have learned anything from the Warriors run it is that players 6-10 had better provide something or you are done. Unless we make a major move (starters for starters) this off season I feel we just need to improve 6-10. Neto, Booker, Ingles, Withey, Pliess.... Is it a surprise we couldn't make the playoffs?

I like our 6-10 going forward, we were just hurt by injuries and these guys being forced into roles they shouldn't be in. Right now, we're looking at a Burks-Mack-Lyles-draft pick (Luwawu?)-FA signing off the bench.

BTW even Burks+starting lineup was pretty good - +11.3 net rating.
Lyles instead of Gobert + starting lineup(Neto lineup) - +11.5 net rating.
Lyles instead of Favors + starting lineup(Neto lineup) - +9 net rating
Lyles instead of Favors + starting lineup(Mack lineup) - +19 net rating(!!!!!)


This all might mean that we actually are good 7+1(3d PG) deep!!!

Our worst lineups include Withey, Burke, Booker... Burke is probably gone, Booker might be, or if he's not he will have smaller role(I hope). We need to find better 8-12th players.

With Exum (and a healthy Burks?) coming back we would really just need 1 or 2 more players to have a solid bench. We can get those players with the draft and/or free agency (Burks/proven scorer). I don't think the Jazz have too big of holes to fill really, we just need scoring off of the bench.
