Exum-3 point shooting, free throw shooting, handle, his body
Hood-3 point shooting, free throw shooting
Hayward-3 point shooting, free throw shooting
Burks-3 point shooting, free throw shooting
Favors-3 point shooting, mid-range game, free throw shooting, post moves
Lyles-3 point shooting, free throw shooting, his body
Gobert-free throw shooting, one post/counter move

My message is obvious. I want to improve our perimeter shooting and free throw shooting.

We were 23rd in free throw % at 74.5%. I wanna be top 15.
We were 12th in three point % at 35.6% and 15th in attempts. I wanna be top five in % and attempts.

If we do this and walk out a healthy team next year for a top 3 team in defensive efficiency, we can win 55 games. We just need to hit our gimmes and threes better and there's no reason we can't.
 
Shooting everybody shooting
 
Gobert - HANDS!!!!!! Post move, passing
Favors - strengthening his back, midrange J
Lyles - core strength, 3 point shot, rebounding
Hayward - dribbling in traffic, 3 point shot
Hood - drawing fouls
Burks - jump shots, not slamming into the floor around the hoop
Exum - aggressive driving, 3s
Team - FREE THROWS!!!!!
Snyder - when to yell at refs, out of bounds plays

Hands, hands, and more hands. Catch the damn ball, Rudy, and dunk it with authority. Probably could use more explosiveness and lift, as well, which will help his dunking ferocity. Increased strength also will cause players attempting to stop him to risk injury. Needs to get in the weight room, maybe get a weight-training session or two with the Mailman.

Probably not the best for Rudy's back but I wish he'd dribble with these for like 5-10 minutes a day(and try to keep the dribble as low as possible). I think it'd really help his coordination grabbing low passes..

But also focus on teammates getting their passes to Rudy up high rather than passing the ball to him at ankle level.
 
Gobert needs to have some human adult male hands grafted in place of his inanimate infant doll hands so he can actually catch and hold onto the ball.
 
We need a coach that has an actual offense, instead of the "run in circles until someone stops dead with the ball with nothing to do with it until someone running in circles happens to run in a circle fast enough to maybe bail him out before they trap and poke the ball loose....oops too late they stole it from doll-hands Gobert yet again" and the ever popular "take the ball and dribble hard into the middle of the defense with your head down hoping to draw a foul and then throw it directly to one of the 4 opposing players that have since converged on you since you were dribbling hard into the teeth of the defense with your head down hoping to draw a foul".

Ugh.
 
Add DL to this conversation. Cut the large gap between the starting 5 and the bench by adding some proven veteran players, preferably with experience in clutch situations.
 
Exum - shooting, taking contact, work core strength, running the team. Getting some post moves would be amazing so he can take advantage of his height.

Mack - spend time with his teammates this summer. Work on his quickness.

Neto - needs to work on his speed and court vision. Spend the summer at p3.

Hood - needs to work on his strenght. Spending time at p3 would be great. He needs to get quicker and take contact better. I would also like to see him het some post moves.

Burks - get healthy and stay healthy. Needs to add more strength. 3 point shooting and court vision.

Burke - finding a new appartment in a new city. I will pray that the jazz can get something for him.

Hayward - needs to lead a bunch of dungeon raids to the max boss he can find. He needs to learn lead. He needs to get the desire to kill.

Ingles - p3 p3 and more p3.

Favors - needs to work his core to help his back. I want to see some go to post move.

Lyles - p3 p3 and more p3. I want to see him more explosive.

Gobert - needs to do a lot with weights balls a lot. Work his hand strength. He needs to work the tennis balls on the wall. He needs a back to the basket move and passing out of it.

Quin - needs to work an a quicker offensive scheme. Run a more pressing offensive attack off a miss even if it doesnt creat a shot put preassure on the defense.
 
Exum- Health, aggressiveness, 3 pt
Hood- Consistency, adjusting to opponent's game plan
Hayward- A new contract below market value
Favors- Health, mid-range
Gobert- Consistency, hands
Lyles- Defense, rebounding, strength
Burks- Health
Burke- A trade
Snyder- In-game adjustments, game management
DL- A superstar
 
Hayward needs to be better in the post. I saw him get beat by Tony Parker and blocked by Avery Bradley. He's big enough and strong enough. I really think he can get better in the post and this will help the Jazz a ton. (It actually gives me a lot of hope that Hayward was so terrible with his back to the basket this year. He could really improve and become a 25+PPG player.)


Maybe we should realize Gobert will never have great hands. It's a struggle for big men. Maybe point guards should stop throwing him low passes. From what I understand (which isn't much,) it's basketball 201 not to throw a pass at the big man's knees.

I read an article somewhere that said Exum has changed his shot? He's been working on his form and has changed how he shoots. Anyone else read this? Where did I see it? I'm always amazed at how people get to the NBA with bad shooting form. Favors' shot was pretty ugly when he got to the Jazz, its taken a long time, but it looks pretty good now.

https://stats.nba.com/league/player/#!/playtype/post-up/?dir=-1&sort=PlayerFirstName

So people have actual stats, not just "Remember that one time he got blocked? he sucks at posting up".

According to the stats, he is the 52.7% percentile on post-up efficiency. So he is a very average post player, but he hardly ever post-up (he actually has the 14th lowest post-up frequency of his possessions. The only SF with a lower frequency is Otto Porter (Aminu is tied with Hayward) I just don't think it's a very reliable thing in Utah's offense with Favors/Gobert. Maybe it's something he could get better with if he plays with Lyles more.

The one clear positive about Hayward's post up game is that he actually does draw FT trips out of his post-ups at a high rate compared to the rest of the league and he turns the ball over at an extremely low rate compared to the rest of the league out of his post-ups.

I read that Exum Article. He's working on releasing the ball with one hand instead of two or something, which will make it a smother higher arcing shot.
