What's new

Young Guns (next year)

Kevin Durant shot 43% is first year in the league.
Now he shoots over 50%.
If you also look at his assists per game his percentage has increased along with his assists.

Those 2 go hand in hand IMO. When you are a threat to pass. It opens up the floor for you so you can get easier shots.

This will determine whether or not Trey Burke becomes a great starting PG.......or a back up point guard his whole career.
 
I was kind of wondering this too. People say it's about the 3rd season when players break out, but then I've heard people say that players get to their primes around25-28 years old. So which is it? Our players are all still young so I'd think it would be when their older, not just by which season.

typically, major statistical categories see dramatic increases between those years. I think players reach their peaks much later because things like IQ, work-habits, chemistry, etc catch up. Still roughly the same at scoring, rebounding etc at year 4 as year 8, but in year 8 theyve stopped making as many dumb mistakes, stay out of foul trouble, or understand the schemes better. Hence their prime, as their abilities, and intangibles, are at their peaks together.
 
I think the Jazz are going to have trouble making the playoffs next few years. OKC, SAS, Hou, and LAC are all going to make the playoffs. I don't see GS, Portland and Memphis getting any worse either and Phoenix will likely improve. Dallas might drop off a bit, but not much. NO and Denver could also be in the mix. Minnesota it will depend on what happens to Love. LAL could be in the mix if Kobe is healthy. Sacramento will stink, as always though. Most people will view the Jazz as a bottom 2-3 team in the West to begin the year, depending on what they do with Hayward, and what Minnesota does with Love. I could see them around 9-11 in the West realistically, but it would take a huge jump to get them into the playoffs.
 
I think it's going to be a while before the jazz are able to put in any sort of work.
