Summer 2015: FIBA games of Utah Jazz players

Sorry, no help there. Turkey didn't have names on the back and I'm watching without sound, so not sure who he is. (edit) Kormaz has 3 points at the half.

In regard to Pleiss, I started watching in the 2nd quarter, after he's scored his 8 points. In the 5 minutes that I watched him, he didn't touch the ball. It's the first time I've seen him and have no idea how he gets his points - his teammates never even came close to looking for him and doesn't appear to have anywhere near Rudy's ability to get his own on the offensive glass.

Most of them are on cuts to the basket, dump offs around the rim and hard rolls to the basket. He's actually pretty long and has a nose for the ball on the offensive glass. A lot of his points in previous games came from offensive rebounds and tip ins. He also has a smooth jumper but they don't seem to run any stuff for him to pop for jumpshots, so the few he's gotten so far are a bit accidental.

4 apg in 22 minutes is high for Europe. Stat keepers are ridiculously stingy with assists. Also good passers usually benefit from playing with better athletes and in more open court game in the NBA.

I completely agree-- minutes played are shorter for players, AND assists are MUCH more strict in Europe. With this said, and despite a greater knowledge of European basketball, people still make this mistake. Look no further than Jazzfanz, who dismissed Tomic's assist stats when they were pointed out earlier this year. "Only 2.3? Meh, that's nothing to be impressed by".

That should read, "possible future Jazzman, Hanlan."

Don't forget possible future jazz man Andrew Wiggins. (He will be a free agent some day so it is a possibility)

Why would Wiggins want to come to Utah?

He is from canada, chose kansas over Kentucky and duke, plays in Minnesota, seems humble, jazz will have a good young team contending for championships.

But really it was a joke because another poster made a post about some European dude a while back saying that he was a potential jazz man simply because he might play in the nba someday.

So basically anyone who is currently in the nba or who will someday be in the nba is a potential jazz man

Lebron, the brow, durant.... All potential jazzmen
 
By the way, Fish, now I've been to SLC, I can understand why Enes made that comment that he would miss the mountains in Utah that people were ridiculing. You guys who live there probably just take it for granted, seeing it every day.

Allot of people do take it for granted..... Not me though. I love living here and I spend time in our natural beauty as often as possible. And it still often leaves me in awe.

Last week I was standing I the middle of a river throwing my line upstream in hopes of catching a nice trout, when I see a golden eagle flying about 20 feet above the river coming right at me.
It passed right over my head and then landed on a hillside and hopped around for a bit.

I got some pretty good pictures of it.

I was there only a day and a half ... stayed in Park City. Just driving thru there was awesome. Spent a day at Zion Canyon. I have to go back someday.

I was ridiculing Enes, not the mountains. I love them and wish I was fishing in them right now.
