Though I am indeed the hero JazzFanz deserves but not the one it needs, I decided to check in and shower you with my thoughts thus far on the preseason.
-Quin Snyder! I love the hair, the offense (The spacing looks so much better even 2 games into the preseason), the transition D and the fact that Gordon Hayward seems to be completely sold on his new coach (Good sign).
- Rudy Gobert. If he can ever figure out free throw shooting and a few post moves, he's gonna be relatively big time.
-Dante Exum is really fast and he makes good decisions on the court. Its not hard to see the court vision is elite for a 19 year old. My only concern is that shot. Sometimes he takes a shot off the dribble and it is pretty ugly, but other times I see him shoot and it looks fine. Really hope he figures out that shot in time! It would make him "non relative" big time! Still, He's a few years away. At least we'll see flashes!
- I really want to see some Rodney Hood! Monday?? Let's hope so.
- Why are only 2 of the preseason games televised??
-Alec Burks is gonna score a lot of points this year. The question I have about Burks is will he use 20% of his possessions to shoot the 3 and if he does, can he maintain a 3 point % higher than 35%? If he does that, He's gonna get major pub!
-Kanter hit his first 3 point shot of the preseason. That was awesome!
- I have a feeling Favors is going to have a major defensive year. He seems as engaged as ever and The eyeball test tells me he's making a big impact on the games. I know. It's preseason, but one can't help but hope its indicative of things to come.
- I am thoroughly convinced that Trey Burke will exceed our expectations this year. Seriously. He's gonna do it.
-Lastly, Gordon Hayward's dunk on freeland was incredible. I did not think Gordon could do that. Got up pretty high and he's looking strong.
My guess is that the Jazz are going to win 32 games this year and that we'll be more competitive than last season.
