Eh to be fair I think Alec Burks, Derrick Favors, Gordon Hayward, and Enes Kanter are guys you can build your team around. You might even be able to turn them into a future starting lineup with a point guard. I don't think Devin Harris is going to cut it and I'm not personally a huge Paul Millsap fan even though he's a good player, but Al Jefferson is a premier center who still hasn't hit his prime. No, I don't think they're capable of playing at our level right now. We made that pretty clear in this series, but give them a few years and I think they'll have a tough team.

Jazz aren't the weakest, that belongs to the Magic. On the road the Jazz aren't impressive, but at home they had a top 5 record. The Knicks are way less impressive so far as well.

I think if everything goes right for them they could be a second round type team. They'll need to upgrade their roster to become contenders but a Memphis or Indiana type of skill level is a possibility if everything goes right for them.

Derrick Favors has potential monster written all over him, especially if he gets an elite PG to play with.

I think Jefferson and Millsap have hit their peaks, can't see them getting any better. Jury is still out on Burks and Hayward. They will probably be good bench contributors, but not starters on a championship team.

I was thinking more Eastern second round but theoretically Favors could become their Hibbert and they could maybe platoon Millsap/Harris into a second option and Hayward into their third or something. Like I said though, everything would have to go right for them to reach that ceiling.

I'm thinking they'll have to add a few more pieces to get higher than that (so of course they'll have to make trades and the like). I guess I might not have been clear.

timvp
05-07-2012, 11:00 PM
Favors is obviously the one very good piece the Jazz have. It's difficult to figure out how good he can be since he's only 20 years old and hasn't played with a good point guard. It looks like he could become a dominant defensive bigman ... but he's still really raw on that end. He doesn't have great size so that limits some of his defensive potential. Offensively, he's getting more and more well-rounded. His ceiling is like a young Amare Stoudemire plus defense. But the much more likely outcome is something like PJ Brown with more scoring ability.

The rest of their team .... meh.

Al Jefferson is too bad on defense and too one-dimensional on offense to ever be anything more than a starting big on a mediocre team.

Paul Millsap tries hard but he's most useful as a 28-30 MPG third bigman.

Devin Harris isn't a starting quality point guard anymore.

Gordon Hayward looked horrible in the last two games. I still think he could be a solid piece on a winning team but probably as a fourth option at best.

Burks was looking good earlier this season but he hit the rookie wall and never recovered.

Kanter looks horrible. He's even worse than Jefferson on defense and his back to the basket game is pitiful. You could put Neal on him and I'm not sure he has the wherewithal to do anything. He's young but right now that looks like a terrible pick.

Josh Howard is done. Tinsley was done about five years ago. Carroll is a nice 11th man energy player.

The Jazz if they are honest with themselves did themselves a disservice making the playoffs.

Going into the lottery, getting two great picks in a top 15 deep draft would've been best for them. Drafting a legit PG and legit SF would've done wonders.

Getting swept in the first round and hardly contending did nothing for their development.

Lol @ Favors not having great size, despite posting nearly the exact same measurements as Dwight Howard upon draft-day. 9'2.5" Standing reach with a serious vertical ain't good size for you?



Also, compare James Harden's sophomore year numbers in both the playoffs and in the regular season, with Gordon Hayward. Hayward shot terribly form three in the postseason, but I know you'll be interested to see that every other category is nearly identical. Just some food for thought, and a reminder to you that it is utterly foolish to try and determine what a player's ceiling is after their second year in the NBA; not to mention your other foolish assertion of declaring Kanter a bust, even though the kid is 19, and has played more basketball in this season than in his entire life before the NBA. But please, continue to make blind-predictions left and right about this jazz team, and enjoy this sweep.

I'd say that Favors' biggest advantage is probably his athleticism and standing reach on the whole. He's not huge or anything but he's not particularly undersized either height-wise.

Edit: But Dwight Howard's probably not a good comparison.

Hey hey. Tough loss by the way but I thought Utah played with purpose this game. I liked their adjustments as well.

Harden is also a bad comparison for Hayward imo. Stats really don't tell the whole story there either although the numbers probably show that Hayward will shape into a good player. I don't think anyone's disputed that. And sure you can tell a player's ceiling in their second or third year. It's easier with wings than bigs though.

Kanter isn't a bust but he's not nearly as high quality a big as Favors if you ask me. As it stands he should probably be coming off the bench for now. His play at Eurobasket has me hesitating as far as the final verdict is concerned but with some work he should at least be a rotational player.

Jazz have some decent pieces to work with and they'll get better either way but after seeing the whole series I don't think they'll be championship contenders unless they pick up some higher quality pieces. If I were the GM I'd start with the 3 and then the 1 because Howard isn't good and I don't think Harris will cut it long-term.

Now it's time to be serious again.

And I was being serious with those comments. Which one do you disagree with?

I think you're right about most of them, but I disagree with Hayward and Kenter.

Hayward just turned 22 a couple months ago. This would've been his junior season in college. He improved dramatically in his second season, with his PER jumping from 10.73 to 15.59, and he really jumped a level the last couple of months. Obviously he wasn't ready for the intensity of the playoffs, but tbh it would've been a major surprise if he was.

Hayward often gets compared to Manu, and I think they have some similarities in his game. Obviously Hayward has to spend the summer in the gym not just getting stronger but really working on his jumper. However I think where he's really being under-utilized is as a ball-handler/passer/play-maker. It's not like they have a good point guard on this team, and none of their bigs can pass worth a damn, so there's no reason why he shouldn't have the ball more. If I'm Corbin, I attach Hayward and Favors at the hip this off-season and have them work on a million pick-and-rolls, showing them tape of Manu & Tiago and Tony & Tim.

I think Hayward could be at the worst the third best guy on a championship club someday, if not the second. The problem is right now they don't have that elite guy and I doubt Favors will be that guy. I think it's premature to dismiss him though because he's already a better player at 22 than Manu was as an NBA rookie at 24. Let's see where Hayward is at in a couple years.

As for Kenter, I think he was in an unfortunate situation, losing almost two years of development because of that eligibility scandal at Kentucky. Still, he's a young guy and he's got some skills. It's not like he's Hasheem Thabeet out there. He just needs to play with a point guard and to spend an off-season at a big man camp. I wouldn't give up on him so soon.

Manu won a championship with his team at the age of 22. Sure Ginobili had to adjust to the NBA (Hayward's a second year player) but I'm not at all convinced that this year's Hayward is a better player than 24 year old Manu. Imo Harden has more in common with Gino than Hayward does at this point.

That said, Hayward is obviously going to be a nice player. Based on what I've seen from him this series though I'm starting to think a player like Luol Deng should be the expectation and if he exceeds that then it's obviously good for Jazz.

As a Spurs fan, I love the sweep but in perspective.. I think the opposition will only get a tougher from now on, whoever we face in the next rounds - the Clips (likely) or the Grizz and later among OKC/ Fakers.

If I was a Jazz fan, I would be heartened by the performance of the Jazz the whole year. They managed to rebuild on the fly without having to tank too much since the loss of franchise player Deron Williams. They have a good core of young talent - with several deficiencies - but tinkering here and there will yield them a bright future around Favors, Hayward, and one among Jefferson/Millsap. So there.

Dont understand wtf so many people see in Hayward tbh. I didnt see any small flashes this series that would make me believe he has the potential to be a star. Theres not one facet of his offensive game that stands out. His first step off the dribble is slow, his handles are average, his shot sucks, he cant finish at the rim that well, his playmaking/courtvision is overrated. I didnt watch Jazz games during the season (doubt many of you did either) but going off of this series I dont see the same tenacity on offense that I see from him on defense. He almost seems content to just blend in on offense.

Pop was like, "Okay...I'm pulling the starters with 8 minutes left."

The Jazz were like, "Hey, maybe we can actually come back and win this game!"

Pop was like, "Psyyyyyyyyyyche!!!" :lmao

Worst fans and city in the NBA.

I'm a UTAH resident and I went to the Jazz vs. Spurs game in Feb and April. When I attended the February contest after the Richard Jefferson 3-ball in the corner to seal the game, I was shoveled sooooo much shiz for being a Spurs fan, I had ONE ignoramus shout at me and my date "WHATEVER, DUDE! YOU'VE NEVER EVEN BEEN TO SAN ANTONIO!!" :bang:bang:bang

AS IF my travels or even being FROM somewhere dictates the teams I cheer for, OR any prior residence determines such! :hat

I just smiled at this UTAH HOMER and held up 4-fingers and shouted back
"4 RINGS, SMOKEY!! FOUR RINGS!!"

He didn't like that reply. :lmao:lmao

NOW I'm like "SWEEP BITCH!!" :ihit:ihit:ihit:ihit

Jazz future isn't nearly as bright as people have said imho.


Favors is obviously the one very good piece the Jazz have. It's difficult to figure out how good he can be since he's only 20 years old and hasn't played with a good point guard. It looks like he could become a dominant defensive bigman ... but he's still really raw on that end. He doesn't have great size so that limits some of his defensive potential. Offensively, he's getting more and more well-rounded. His ceiling is like a young Amare Stoudemire plus defense. But the much more likely outcome is something like PJ Brown with more scoring ability.

The rest of their team .... meh.

Al Jefferson is too bad on defense and too one-dimensional on offense to ever be anything more than a starting big on a mediocre team.

Paul Millsap tries hard but he's most useful as a 28-30 MPG third bigman.

Devin Harris isn't a starting quality point guard anymore.

Gordon Hayward looked horrible in the last two games. I still think he could be a solid piece on a winning team but probably as a fourth option at best.

Burks was looking good earlier this season but he hit the rookie wall and never recovered.

Kanter looks horrible. He's even worse than Jefferson on defense and his back to the basket game is pitiful. You could put Neal on him and I'm not sure he has the wherewithal to do anything. He's young but right now that looks like a terrible pick.

Josh Howard is done. Tinsley was done about five years ago. Carroll is a nice 11th man energy player.

imo, the jazz should rebuild now by trying to get rid of everyone not named favors.

kanter somehow manages to play dumber and move slower than he looks.

:lol @ gnsf thinking that started in the nba forum

Straw man fallacy. If I accuse you of adopting the elitist mentality that pervades BNSF's, do I think that elitism started in SpursTalk? Of course not.
