Summer League Jazz Interviews

I just realised that Gordon and Jeremy are now the longest serving current jazz players

Hayward notes (worth a listen):
-GH is taking leadership role.
-Likes Burke - think he's poised, going to be a leader for years to come.
-Has worked on adding multiple mid-paint options to his game this summer, especially floaters, etc "a la Tony Parker."
-"Our offense is still early and we'll be figuring it out as we go."
-Thinks wings will be used a lot more, think they'll use a LOT more PNRs.
-Going to miss the scoring of Milsap and Jefferson.
-"I expect us to compete next year. It's hard for me to handle losing. It's going to be difficult when we struggle - and we will struggle."
-"We will compete."
-Thinks Favors is going to be huge next year, player who will improve the most, as long as he stays out of foul trouble.
-Is going to have dinner with Coach Stevens and hear how his transition has been.
-"Coach Stevens knows more than I do about winning. He's going to have to accept losing, and find a way to get over that."
 
Burke notes:
-Jazz office wants me to be a leader.
-Not worried about his shot falling.
-Had jitters, but that isn't why he went 1-12. Thinks going 1-12 isn't excusable.
 
Evans notes:
-Hayward can definitely be a leader.
-Working on adding and polishing the mid-range jumper.
-FO and coaching staff wants him to be more aggressive and comfortable.
-Is going to miss the vets, think it is weird he and Hayward are the oldest now.

Impressive wisdom there..
