Utah Jazz Extra: Bold (?) predictions, a quirky Q&A with Fes, who's hot/not and more
12 comments | Read story
It is simply uncivilized..
KJZZ will fill the time with roasts of Frank Layden and WNBA games from the past of Margo Dayek and the Utah Starz. Danny White will have his thoughts on growing Arena Football in Utah
When Boozer goes, Okur could move to PF if needed. Millsap could play 3 about 1/3 of the time. There are some nights that a big line up is needed.
Koufos is rebounding like Dennis Rodman. It is only a matter of time before he gets his shot working better. Boozer has also been getting blocked a lot. I expect that to fix before long.
Right now the Jazz have depth at big. They have some options. Small ball is a little limited but that will solve in a month.
If the Jazz can rebound better than last year and not tank when Okur is out for games, their record should be better. However, they still might not do well against elite teams.
The Jazz need oOutside shooting to open the inside.
The loss of CJ and Korver are a problem. The Jazz will have to modify their offensive approach to some extent when Okur is out. Brewer needs to shoot jump shots and hit them to pull his man out. DWill seems to be working pretty well as a 2 guard.
I am not a Sloan fan but he seems to be adapting and adjusting. I hope the press and fans keep up the pressure on the Jazz playing defense. Sloan can't do it alone. He also has to short of a bench to sit key players who do not defend. He should play Fez and Koufos more to rest starters for back to backs.
The back up PG position seems to be the biggest problem. DWill is not as quick with a lot of minutes.
This is the same team that almost beat LA last year. Aaron Brooks is a lot more experienced than Ty Lawson.
Boozer and Millsap should have big nights. The rebounding is crucial against Houston. They are going to attack inside and they are going to bomb outside. The guard and SF defense are key to stopping them.
With two regular players out of the lineup, it will be a long week on the road. The game will be a blowout in Dallas. That is, Dallas blowing us out.
@macnamara: Boozer has been horrible. Jody is right on. Don't forget, he opted in. No one asked him to stay. He choose to stay.
Koufos is kind of forgotten. However, I am seeing the following.
1. Koufos is leading the team in offensive rebounds with very limited minutes. Koufos is leading the team in rebounds per minute.
2. Sloan sees something in Koufos. He is trying to turn him into a PF. Koufos played C most of his limited career. I think Koufos could become the next Gasol. He is tall enough. If he can develop enough fast twitch muscle he will be quick enough.
If he studies Gasol and Boozer's moves it will serve him well. Boozer's first step and left hand make him great in spite of his height.
3. Koufos plays pretty good defense. That will improve with time and as he gets more game experience.
4. Koufos can shoot but he needs a lot of work in that area as his shot is flat and he needs to be quicker with more vert. He is getting blocked. Watching film will probably fix that. His moves are limited and therefor predictable.
Boozer gives us an all star and we are short of those. D Will is legitimate but our offense needs to figure a way to get the ball to Okur to shoot as his percentage is as big as they get in the NBA.
We have CJ and Korver returning but they should be packaged together and traded. Together they are at best, streak shooters.
Fes has been entertaining but most NBA players understand he is still rookie status and is about as hard to guard as a package of cookies, thus he is effective for short bursts. Time and lots of experience will cure what ails him.
Like I said all last season Fez just needs a chance to play.
If you want to crack on Booze for his shooting in the Clips game, you better bagg on Williams as well....They both shot for virtually the same FG% on the night.
You dudes don't really care about the Jazz at all. And you've been pounding on Boozer for so long, it's become the "IN" thing to do. Get a new story line. Your comments are worn out!!
