What's new

When’s the Jazz media day?

Wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't one with how media access seems to ha e lowered in the Ryan Smith era.
 
Today they had JZ/DA/Ryan and players are next week.

If you didn't listen... basically we tanking the eff outta this B. Lots of young player talk... mentioned "no free minutes" and how development is key. Vets were brought in to "show the young guys how to work".

They understand the assignment.
 
Yeah according to KSL:
"Team owner Ryan Smith, CEO Danny Ainge, and general manager Justin Zanik will all speak on Friday, September 27, beginning at 11 a.m. MST, while coach Will Hardy, and the team’s players will speak on Monday, September 30."

I listened I think about halfway through... nothing super notable imo. Really the theme seemed to be development, youth, some arena stuff, etc. No big game hunting type quote.

To me one interesting part was DA reasoning the 3 vets we added.

In a nutshell:
Eubanks brought in to teach our big toughness (they said this really directly), Patty Mills was brought in for professionalism (DA slipped Keyontes name in that context) but the surprising part is that Svi was apparently brought in as a prospect. They gave no other purpose for that other than they see upside in him.

So Drew and Patty are here exactly why we thought they are here, but I think they hope Svi turns into another Fontecchio or smth.
 
It does feel like the FO is pushing the youth forward more than the past two media days, so that probably speaks to how much the Jazz want to lose and are dedicated to losing.
 
Muscle watch week… who hits the requisite 15
Lbs of muscle?
 
My summer league predictions:

- Kessler added 6 gonads worth of toughness however Eubanks' job is to add 15 lbs muscle to each gonad. At least it's a good 8-ball framework to build on
- Keyonte has been working out with Kyrie Irving to improve his handles and he now is a flat earther
- Lauri took up Boxing... with Kangaroos. And now he has a Pouch that he staches weems in
- Taylor Hendricks grew 2 inches and 5% better shooting and is now a Top 3 prospect in a redraft... unfortunately 2.5 inches is his hair style. Tall Threads!
- Hardy joined Quin Snyder's night club called "The Human Corpse Bride" and he has gained 15 lbs fat from dining on strippers off of Popavich's belly (a lifetime member)
- Danny Ainge traded his VW Beetle for a CyberTruck loaded with shovels, rakes, and TONS of picks
- Corbin got a job... as an usher at the Delta Center and he will hopes to be the best usher but we all have our doubts
- Cody Williams gained 30 lbs of pure muscle. He now weights 122 lbs!!! Unfortunatley 3 lbs of it is in his hair. Strong threads!
