Utah Jazz Open Scrimmage.... 11am Saturday (right now)

Where’s the box score so I can critique?

THT reminds me of a young Charles Barkley, just without the drive, passion and leadership skills. Could that be coached in? The kid is built like a tank, and could be good with the development of a little discipline. Otherwise, he's Dinner-Bell-Mel 2.0.

Butler looked like the dominant man out there in that 4th quarter scrimmage. Can he look anything like that against other teams' benches? right now, he looks like a solid NBA backup combo guard.
 
Only saw the last scrimmage… JB was real good in that one… THT missed like 3-4 layups… there is absolutely nothing that can be taken from these but it’s kinda fun so glad they had a good time.

I’ve been thinking about something that’s maybe a better idea. Instead of draft threads, I wonder if we could put together a thread for following all of the collegiate track and field people. We can talk about all the great physical capabilities that are off the charts and all the amazing things they could do on the floor. I mean, it’s a completely untapped resource. All those guys need to do is learn how to play basketball and they’ll be unstoppable.

I swear that’s how I feel some of these guys are evaluated… like if this guy learns to shoot… finish at the rim… if he tightens up his handle… if he improves a bunch on defense… then he will be a pretty great player. So he just has to learn how to basketball.
 
NAW looked good, Kessler had his moments as did Bolmaro and the Italian Stallion. If I were the GM THT would be on the first bus out of town along with his seatmate Gay.
 
If I'm the Jazz, I'm not cutting Jared Butler just because I have Rudy Gay stuck on my roster. There could be something there with Butler.

Jared Butler had some nice moments. He's a reliable enough shooter to space the floor. Can't say that about most our guys. He's also good in screen/roll situations.
Fontecchio can knock down shots when no one is around him.
Nickeil and THT are good at driving the ball and passing off.
Kessler is really good at catching the ball and finishing in one smooth motion.
Markkanen didn't play much or do much. Not sure why. I guess the vets didn't need to run much today.
The most obvious cuts to me, aside from Zeller, would be Gay, Lee and I guess Dok if he's never going to play. Dok missed the end of last season, missed Summer League and just missed all of camp.

I still really want to see Butler get a real chance. Let him run the offense, give him serious minutes, find out exactly what we have. If it pans out then his timeline probably fits the tank really well. If not, it just helps the tank in general. Win-win.
