Its preseason game 1. I'd be surprised if any starter plays over 25 minutes.

What 3 things will you be watching for during the first pre season game.
- Thread starter framer
- Start date

These were pretty much my three as well.
Oh, and three point shooting across the board.

Exum, Exum, and Exum.
His play will decide the long-term future of this team. If he comes back close to the form he showed us in summer league, then the future looks bright. We have a lot of solid players on this team; we just need a competent point guard at both ends of the floor. George Hill can get us through the next 2-3 years, but Exum needs to become one of the league's elite pg's if we are ever going to challenge for a championship.

Lineup combinations are by far the most intriguing thing for me. I think the hardest part of the season for Quin is going to be what is the "right" lineup. With soooooo many lineup possibilities its going to be really convienent for fans, and the coaching staff for that matter, to second guess what they are doing.

I agree, however I can see the primary backups getting about 20 minutes as well which leaves little time for the d-league fodder. Unless, of course the Jazz are up 30. Previously, the Jazz were actually looking for talent from the camp invites. I don't think that they have any illusions about that now. I also don't think the d-league guys would have signed on to such a deep team if they had any other legitimate options. No one is picking those guys up off the waiver wire. They are here to play for the Salt Lake City Stars, and they know it.

True this. Assuming we can resign George hill tho
I agree. I'm intrigued to see how Hill, Johnson and Diaw interact with our guys. Hoping to see an immediate chemistry, not sure if that's a realistic expectation but intrigued by that. Also interested of course in Exum. Ready to see Hayward as a superhero. LYLES! Hoping Rudy looks better offensively. Really expect Favors, Hayward, Hood and our new veterans to be awesome right away.

1. PG's: Exum's shooting is the main concern. I'm not too worried about him losing a little quickness. Will Hill take some pressure of Hayward?
2. Pace: are Jazz going to take 20-24 secs to put up a shot. Are the guards going to walk the ball up the court?
3. Gobert. He's been underwhelming. He needs to be dominant on defense.
I'd say rotation minutes, but we know we can't ready anything into preseason games.

1. Exum. How improved is he.
2 pace of offense
3. Can Hayward truely be the man. Want to see how big he is. Does added weight hurt or help his game.

He's Too Big, Yo!
No really, he might be too big, yo!
But he also might be just right, yo!
He might need a superhero nickname.
