Really? Why do you have doubts

sigh, I am reluctant to say because I will get killed on here, but since you asked:

Hayward has got killed in the playoffs and late game situations and can become a CJ-esque type chucker...but he is everyones favorite including Corbin's. The Jazz have tried to make him a star and he doesn't want to or can't rise to it. But as he continues to play through his mistakes he is playing more at SG which is a real problem for Burks. And rather than letting Burks play his natural position at sg the Jazz tried to push him into a 6-6 scoring pg? Both players are too inconsistant from 3pt. They might have been able to work together if there was actually 48 minutes to split between them at sg but the jazz had like 20-24 minutes split between them. I don't see how they compliment each other, it is much more like a duplication, so how can they be on the court together?

Same with Enes and Favors. No NBA team, not even the behind the times Jazz can run two post players at the same time if neither can consistantly hit the 18+ ft jumper, or put it on the floor from the high post, or pass out of the post (high or low). Yes, I know some people say Kanter has range to 18 ft if given the chance. I hope so, but until he shows it regularly in games I doubt.....

2 sets of players with similar strenghts and weaknesses, all needing more pt to develop. To me that is a problem.
 
Is My Daughter On This Forum? She Always Complains About My Writing Style When I Send Her Emails While She's At College. She Told Me Amanda Bynes Writes The Same Way But I Don't Know Who Amanda Bynes Is And I Think It Wasn't Meant To Be A Compliment! I'm Not Sure What The Problem Is. It Seems Like The Only Times People Respond To What I Say Are To Make Some Slight At Me Regarding How I Write. I Think I've Made Many Good Points And Created Good Dialogue For This Forum But No One Responds. I Guess I'm Not In The Club Yet.

I do see Favors and Kanter as a problem if not used right. Hayward, for me, will not be that leader as commonly expected. I see him as the glue guy. Not the main focus of anything but the guy that makes it all work. Burks, to me, will be a fantastic 6th man. A high energy, aggressive scoring punch from the bench. Let Burkes take the reigns and lead this group and they could accomplish big things.

Probably not but it is nice to know she frowns on your gimmik as well.

Your whole capital letter at the beginning of every word thing is ridiculous. It's as silly as Zoolander not being able to turn left. All you have to do is not press the shift key when you start typing a new word. Or, if that is simply impossible, go back through after you're done and replace all the incorrectly capitalized letters with lower case ones.

On a slightly even more random note, I've always wondered why there wasn't a function in word processing software that allowed users to shift existing letters from lower case to upper case. You have to delete the letter and retype it.

In Microsoft products, just select the word(s) and hit shift+F3. Viola.

Who says that Hayward and Burks have to be on the court at the same time? I'm not sure that Burks will ever be the answer as the starting SG, and that's OK. He can be groomed to a heckuva bench sparkplug, which we need. A lot of people overrate Burks, which doesn't mean he isn't a good piece. I'll be very disappointed if the best we can do at SG for the near future is Burks because I just see his game as too easy to prepare for. It's one thing if you storm off the bench and get yours, because nobody gameplans for you, its another when you are a major part of the rotation. Look at what happened to Brewer. He was amazing, until the opponent's gameplan pushed him outside of the paint. I have a feeling that this is obvious to the staff in practice which is why we have been "hiding" Burks until he diversifies his game. We would have to get OJ Mayo at the right price, but I see him as what I would be happy with Burks becoming over the next couple of years. If we can get that now as a starter, while Burks develops as a bench spark, we should probably do that.
 
Cheese. Seriously, I'm withholding my vote until the Jazz sign their 3-4 FA's to round out the team. Bring back Al and my optimism would be ZERO. Bring back Paul or Randy and I'd understand, but my uptimism meter would take a hit. Same with bringing in a PG who would HAVE to start. Likewise, I want to see DMC and Jamaal return. Tinsley needs to be here to mentor Trey. DMC is limited, but you've got to reward a player who works his butt off and cares enough about the organization to run around doing Jr. Jazz clinics as an UNRESTRICTED FA. That's a quality guy, right there!

he only played 4 playoff games in an embarssing alfensive showing.

his late game faltering is because of fatigue.
playing 17-19 minutes straight of game time
