Summer 2015: FIBA games of Utah Jazz players

[NCJazz]

Furkan Korkmaz is an intriguing kid, turned 18 today, is smart on and off-the court, athletic, crafty, hardworking, confident and long. He already speaks solid English, knows a lot about the game, is an elite shooter, can create for himself and teammates. He lacks strength and experience; he is too thin, can be pushed around rather easily. If he can handle the physicality of the NBA he has pretty much all the tools to shine. Such a guy should go top-10 in the draft but he is playing for a stacked team coming off the bench, getting little PT. Maybe he will slip to #20 for us to pick? : ) Or we may always trade up in the draft; "flexibility for the future", you know.

Of course Mario did not play big minutes either but got up to 5. Just takes a few opportunities to show what he can do.

Greece announced their roster today and former Jazzman Kosta Koufos is on the roster as well as Calathes and the Greek Freek. Looks like they also got the rest of their top players. They will not be easy to beat.

From listening to the context of the interview, it sounded more like they sent the trainer over with Exum to continue rehabbing the ankle injury and to make sure Dante wasn't going to re-injure it. That said, DL also mentioned that Exum just played in a practice and looked good.

Another interesting nugget from the interview: DL said that we'd see an improvement with Exum this next year, but we wouldn't really see the player Exum is for another 2-3 years (e.g. the Hayward timeline.) That said, I'm sure half of the posters on this board will go nuts anyway next year and call him a bust.

Whenever Lindsay talks about Exum he brings up Exum's dad's body and how if Exum can get up to 215-220...then you hear DL start to salivate on the radio.

I think DL really thinks Exum will lead us to the promise land and is a special talent. I agree. In 5 years, DL will be lauded as a genius with Exum, Gobert, and Hood.

Wow that's amazing if true.. I don't think it's standard practice to send a personal trainer with the player... obviously DL wants to keep working on Exum's body and DL must really thinks he can turn it into some sort of a Masterpiece.


I don't blame him and hope he succeeds.

Athletic trainers are not personal trainers or strength coaches. They help with injuries. They are they guys who run out when someone get hurt, do the taping and wraps and work behind the scenes working with physicians to help with rehabbing from injuries. If they sent a athletic trainer with him it is because of the ankle injury and/or another injury.

Since it's the offseason and nothing's happening anyways, I found a small interview with Tibor in our local newspaper this morning. It's also online, so I ran it through google translate. Horrible as always, but I could figure out from context what it's supposed to mean when erroneous translations occured.
It's about NBA goals and expectations, National team and the upcoming European Championship and a couple of off topic questions.
I hope there're German bakers in the city of Utah

While their major is injury prevention, they know every facet of the human body and how it works. That's their knowledge base. They would know how to improve anything. Including strength training and rehab.

Having worked in this industry for almost 10 years I understand they have knowledge of other stuff but at this level they tend to leave the strength training to the expert strength coaches and performance coaches. But there are people who are both strength coaches and athletic trainers and serve both roles. But more often they stick to their roles and expertise. I'm sure he can and will help Exum with his workouts but the reason he would have gone with him is primarily the injury help.

Hometown team had him in its youth roster last years, they wanted to sign him this summer to a contract in combination with an education(He's 17), kid wanted to go pro and passed on the offer. Talented at hooping though, maybe he'll make it.

Just saw a picture of him. Not entirely French or Russian obviously.

Gotta love that German dark bread! There is actually this German bakery pretty close to ESA: https://www.vosen.com/. I've always wanted to try it out, but I'm pretty much only there after it's closed (6 pm M-F, earlier on Saturday).

It's nice that he said that he couldn't have asked for a better NBA situation than coming to the Jazz.

I also liked his answer to "when does being 2.18 meters get on your nerves?"
--> "Pretty much all the time, when people come up to me and say Wow, you're really tall. I think to myself, Yes, I've noticed that."

Basically an athletic trainer is a personal trainer that actually had to go to school and learn about the body rather than a month long course.

I would take being annoyed for 3 million dollars.

You can hear though that he's from Germany
