Fifthed.

Watson is easily the best backup this team has had since Eisley 1 (including Maynor).

I don't think an extension can be done on a 1-year deal and the Jazz would have equal competition from every team since they have no agency rights and he has no Bird Rights. Hopefully this isn't his only season here but I'm bracing for that.
 
We lost.

Seriously incredible game from Watson. Loved it. Wrap that guy up for the next 4 years.



But we still lost.
 
I will also add that the way Watson pushes the ball and looks for lobs/oops legitimately makes those two aspects of Deron's game look WEAK. Not just pale in comparison, but it highlights how little he does either. It's almost like Deron likes to make things more difficult than they have to be sometimes.
 
There is absolutely no excuse as to why Deron should'ne be pushing the ball more. None at all.
It boggles my mind that with his speed and athleticism Deron would actually prefer slowing things down. Especially when he has the skills to take his defender off the dribble and also finish.

I am not sure why the coaching staff doent emphasize this with him enough
 
Brian Smith of SLTRIB just mailed me saying that he has brought this up with Deron and there will be a mention of it in Friday's paper and a more detailed writeup later on. Lets see what Deron has to say about this
 
I've read Deron publicly lobby Sloan to run more. Which I sort of understand, but why would he let Watson run as both a backup and a starter? And doesn't Sloan let Deron call the plays if he wants to anyway?

I'm also kind of talking out of my ***. Does Watson run as much as a starter in these games? I've seen about 20 minutes of them.
 
I suggest the English language changes the spelling and structure of the words. They are too similar and mean total opposites.

I suggest Re-Sign......and rezighnk.........the k is silent.

While Sloan doesnt like the team to compete in a running game with teams like the Suns or Warriors of the past, he has always emphasized pushing the ball up the floor whenever there is a chance. you can even see him in games often urging his PG to push the ball up quickly.
Even recently he has said that unless we rebound the ball well it is difficult to get out and push the tempo. I dont think Deron has to convince Sloan to run more.

I am guessing Deron will blame the rebounding as the reason for not running more.
 
No one expected Watson to take on such an important role with the Jazz at this point in the season, but he's had to with Williams being out. He has played well for the most part in the four games he's started. After being plagued by foul trouble against the Bobcats on Monday, he rebounded with a nice performance against the Rockets.

"He pushes the ball a lot, gets us going offensively, gets some easy points — he makes sure to get us those and picks up the energy," said Jazz rookie Gordon Hayward, who joined Watson in the starting lineup on Wednesday and had 10 points. "He does a great job for us."

Even the rookie has noticed it
