Utah Jazz Vs L.A. Lakers Oct.4th at 7pm

Yep, it is quite obvious that Neto isn't going to shoot the ball. Hard to be a starter when you have a deficiency that large.

Stockton didn't like to shoot in his rookie year. I remember him passing up a wide open 15 footer early in the shot clock, only to see the team chuck up a desperation shot at the buzzer. Stockton never made that mistake again.
 
Burks had some nice passes and played good defense but Hood was a complete disaster.

Complete disaster is a little strong, I mean, he just missed shots. It's not like he was turning the ball over or getting beat on defense.

The main thing with Burks was he just wasn't as aggressive as I thought he'd be but didn't finish on the couple drives he took.

Hood is a streaky shooter. He'll have a lot of games where he's on fire with those same looks.
 
Positives:
+Neto isn't going to be able to contest shots like Exum, but his defensive tenacity is going to slow down opposing teams at the point of attack.
+Hayward looks like he is going to impose his will at will
+If Pleiss learns how to set picks without jarring an opponent's jaw, he is a capable backup center
+We have Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors

Negatives:
-For working at his game all summer, Hood was disappointing
-Burke might fool's gold Snyder into giving him another chance at starting which I think would be the wrong choice.
-If the Jazz can't find a way to hit some 3s its guaranteed they will finish bottom third as a team offensively
