Trey-Alec-Gordo-Favors-Enes -9 Last Night in 12 Minutes

So basically, the Wizards hit some shots and the Jazz missed some shots while those 5 were in the game together. I'm not sure there is a more meaningless stat in basketball than +/- with a small sample size like that.

Pretty sure GVC actually agrees with you
His role is to kind of be the contrarion and temper everyone and balance things out a bit. (nothing wrong with that)

And yet the Burke-Burks-Hayward-Favors-Kanter combination is still a net positive for the year has a better +/- than 5 of the 7 most commonly used 5 man units by Corbin.

Thought it was worth pointing out.

Also it's worth pointing out that individual +/- is a tenuous statistic at best.

The post was mostly in response to those in the game thread who seemed to think that lineup won the game for the Jazz (although perhaps I'm misremembering). It was nice to see Burks and Kanter get 30+ minutes; I was getting frustrated waiting for RJ/Marvin to get subbed out in the 3rd.

With that said, I still like Burks and Kanter off the bench for now. Burks should be getting more of RJ's minutes. Hopefully Kanter can find some consistency; the alternating sets of decent to good games and total disasters is hard to watch.

Individual?

I really hope Kanter learns that he can pass out of the post.

Trade Kanter + this years' first (unprotected) + Burks for Anthony Davis.

Then go get Gary Harris.

Burke/Neto
Harris
Hayward
Davis/Evans
Favors/Gobert

CHAMPIONSHIP

wow would they give up Brow? if Brow came out this year, he would be consensus #1 pick.

DAVIS is untouchable. Just dreaming.

The jazz would do that trade in a second.

Yes to that. He can be a black hole at times.

He learned from the best

Intellects don't play contrarian, ever.

That's a dream of the past since the post is a black hole by design. There are so few assists available that it's meaningless in the grand scheme. Best to dominate and get other bigs in foul trouble.
