If the trend continues with Novak, needs to be cut from the rotation, possibly waived.

I think the Jazz should be happy about where they're at in the development of this team. Year 2 of a 5 year rebuild. New coach. New system. Young guys are growing up. Role players look ready to take a step up. Young guys are getting their feet under them. They need to get healthy and keep working their tails off. Defense still needs to be emphasized on a nightly basis.

The early results look good so far, but I still think that this season won't be defined by wins and losses. It's about learning the system, learning how to play team defense and figuring out how to put the players together into effective groups.

Screw that! As long as there is an Eastern Conference there will be wins to be had. If the lottery is changed we need to be looking to move ourselves out of the bottom 5, and doing that in the West would make it more like bottom 7. I'm not going to moan if the losses pile up, but I am going to want a win every game, especially at home.
 
Nice thread for fun, but you can't draw many conclusions after two pre-season match-ups with the Blazers.

Trey Burke isn't going to go against Steve Blake every night. If he were, I might be okay with him taking that many shots.

I think the numbers for our bigs--Kanter and Favors--are going to go up. Both are going to get more minutes. Hayward's numbers are going to go up, as he'll take more shots. Trey's numbers should go down. Burks can probably sustain what he's done in the first two games.

Burks is now leading the team in mpg, a big change vs. when Corbin was coaching.

I think our bigs' rebound rate so far could hold steady. You see Kanter's rebound numbers are down a bit compared to the end of last year, as he's further out on the floor. Gobert is rebounding and defending great. It's going to be hard to not give him more minutes. This means Kanter would play more PF minutes and guys like Booker, Evans and Novak will get fewer minutes, though they'll put pressure on Kanter to perform well.

Kanter has 13.5 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 1 apg, 0 spg, 0 bpg, 3.5 TOpg in 25 mpg

Gobert has 6.5 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 1 apg, 1 spg, 1.5 bpg, 1 TOpg in 20 mpg

Hayward has 12.5 ppg, 5.5 rbg, 3.5 apg, 1 spg, 1 bpg, 3 TOpg in 30.5 mpg

Burks has 16 ppg, 2.5 rpg, 1.5 apg, 3 spg, 0 bpg, 3.5 TOpg in 33.5 mpg

Burke has 16.5 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 5.5 apg, 1.5 spg, 0 bpg, 2 TOpg in 32.5 mpg

Exum has 5 ppg, 1.5 rpg, 1.5 apg, .5 spg, .5 bpg, 1.5 TOpg in 25 mpg

Added Booker for Green and the TOs for Karpasov

I'm guessing Favors and Kanter improve... somewhere. They will play more than 25 mpg each.

Gobert looks about right. Dat per 36 rebound rate doe.

Hayward will obviously score more.

Burks will score less and get less minutes. QSS Express is finding out if he can run an offense. He cannot.

Burke will score less and cut the TO's (Considering I'm not buying that 2 TO/game figure; I watched him bounce balls off his toes a lot).

Exum cannot do anything well. He'll drive into the lane and dish until teams realize he will drive into the lane and dish. At that point his t.o. goes up and his assists go negative.

Novak is a bad, bad man. Snyder has a ton of plays that utilize his stretch ability. He'll average 12-13, and little else.

This is a good one for zulu to hold on to.

Btw with this experiment of Burks running the offense we won both games by an average of 11.5 pts per game.

Definate proof that it's not working

And when Zulu posts it again Frank will say it's been taken out of context, then he'll start calling people names and claim he's been right all along. I've seen the way this is going to play out several times already.

cool stats but i wonder efficiency numbers more. Kanter made double double but really played poor at last match etc.
 
^
Those assists numbers are horrid considering Quin's preached ball movement and unselfishness more than anything else. I've not watched the games but I wonder if that's a reflection on Burke who to me is more of a pure half court offense type of guy, one who really has the ball in his hands a lot to be effective type of guy.
 
In the two games, we've held the Blazers to a combined 40.5% fg percentage. Excluding individual player growth, this may be the most important to me this season--clear growth in our team defense. It's just two games and it's the pre-season but it's encouraging.

I'd like to see us be top 15 team in team defense this year in pp100p, dfg%, and ppg.
