The Young Guys Talent.

[Deleted member 848]

We need a real coach first and foremost. Then, watching those highlights, it had me thinking maybe I like Smart at 5 more than Vonleh only from a "immediate impact/we need a killer to lead this group" standpoint.

I keep going back and forth. Exum dropping would obviously change things.

Yeah. Quite honestly we have a decent amount of talent. We could have been coached to a better record IMO. Bring in Messina, bishes.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I agree about both of them..... and m i believe kanter might make the jump as well.

Add in improvement from trey, plus a better bench and the jazz might suprise people.

Not to mention an upgrade in coaching and a high draft pick in a very good draft

I know that a lot of fans are down on the young guys right now, but I still love their potential together. I still think that there's a good chance that any/all of the Core5 guys (Hayward included) are capable of improvement. Gobert looks like a keeper too. Add one or two stud rookies and this team could get really good in a hurry. They're young right now, but they're also vets too. They need to keep playing together and gaining experience. Chemistry and coaching will do wonders for a talented group of young players.

The two key things for the near future will be who they hire as a coach (and what his philosophy is) and who they get in the draft. If they hit two Homeruns with those things, this team could be special down the road.

Watching this clip makes me think that Kanter will come back better after a healthy offseason-- and makes me hesitant to trade him given that we'll probably be drafting Vonleh.


Damn damn damn. Wish we would've snagged a top-3 pick.

Bigs are just so valuable. It won't surprise me in the least bit to see Vonleh move into the top 3 after workouts happen. Either that, or it might make a team more willing to trade back a few spots.

How? Playing at SG when he can't shoot? Starting him at PG will do us wonders?

We agree. My biggest fear is getting a guy who scores 20 pts/per on 20+ shots, but thinks he's a superstar because he's a "scorer."

 

[Jazz Spazz]

I bet at least 3 of the young guys are all-stars next year. That vid was awesome.

 

[GVC]

Yeah. Quite honestly we have a decent amount of talent.

Yep. The Jazz are just a couple lead scorers, a couple decent perimeter defenders and a couple decent shooters away from being a good team.
