After 2 1/2 games of watching this year's Jazz, the preseason is over and the season is going to start. What did we actually learn.
What else did we learn from the preseason???
- Favors - Looks like he is ready to make a leap to the next level and if he can stay out of foul trouble, should get a lot of minutes.
- Hayward - I know it's early, but obviously he has struggled this preseason. His slow release is a big problem behind screens because the defenders have three seconds to finally get to him. I'm also concerned that he can't stay out of foul trouble. Maybe someone should tell him it's April.
- Big Al - Looks like he is in great shape and should have a better year than last. It's amazing he averages as many rebounds as he does without blocking out.
- Devin Harris - Deron relied on his cross-over to get in to the paint. Devin has relied on his quickness and speed. I'm concerned that he looks like he lost a step. If he can't penetrate, we could be in big trouble.
- Jeremy Evans - We have got to get time for him.
- CJ Miles - CJ looks like he is in great shape and I think he should start at the 2. He looks like he is at least trying on defense.
- Howard - He looks like he is moving really well and I think his shot will come around.
- Coach Ty - He is gong to work his bum off coaching.
- Raja Bell - He looks in better shape, but same old Bell. Should be third string SG.
- Kanter - He does not look ready to play on offense. He has an eye for the ball and can rebound right away. As long as he can rebound consistently, he will get some minutes.
- Burks - Has a high motor and can drive consistently. He will eventually start to finish and make some of those shots. He could be a beast when he gets his shot to fall.
- New Defense - I think in the second preseason game, you could actually see how the new defense is going to work. They definitely needs to rotate quicker so the corner three isn't so wide open.
