The 2014-2015 NBA Season Thread. Lock It Up Please: The Golden State Warriors Are The Champions

[kevin cleveland]

Right on cue.

@Lockedonsports Incredible growth - Last 10 games Jazz have #1 opp FG% in NBA 41.4% and #1 opp EFG% 45.9%

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Gobert is free now that Kanter been traded, Utah going to be

next year if they get a good pick.

Winslow or Devin Booker 

 

[Bert.]

Are we still waiting on Favors or has that ship finally sailed. i feel like its been 5 years since all ive heard is Favors will get it going and become a real player/star

Cool story. NBA teams/players are really pretty good, for the most part, when it comes to community stuff.

They are man, great story.

Favors is still only 23 semi mind blowing

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Favors is still only 23 semi mind blowing

I'm hoping he has a Paul Millsap type awakening next season

I wonder if Henjoza pans out, maybe the Jazz can pick him up

 

[nick.]

Burke, Burks, Hayward, Favors, Gobert is a nice core

and they let Millsap & Big Al walk for nothing

 

[johnnyredstorm]

he's having a good season this year, 16 and 8 roughly with a 22 PER (lulz). his numbers month over month have been consistent for the most part. scoring has increased slightly but FG % and rebounding has dipped a little. could 16-18 and 10 be his ceiling? maybe, but that aint so bad

Seems like dude been in the L forever but I remember him being super young at GT.

 

[awwsome]

Right on cue.

I'm telling, that's a no way fly zone with those two.


The fact that the Jazz have had all these guys in the past couple years is crazy


Al Jeff
Milsap
Favors
Kanter
Gobert


Two All Stars and maybe 2 future ones.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Sucks they had all that and had to basically choose 2

I definitely would have parted with Jefferson but the others were tough tough decisions 

 

[kevin cleveland]

Favors is doing 16, 8, 2, 1 and 2 on 54.0% with a 22.2 PER, playing a huge part in an emerging defense and steadily improving his jumper. And now he gets to play his natural position next to a more compatible big than Kanter.

 

[friscostylez]

I would rather play with Steph than with Russy

 

[johnnyredstorm]

i like utah's core a lot. hayward, gobert, favors, exum, burke. very nice future in utah. i still think exum develops into a solid to very good pro.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Utah about to F around and select WCS

 

[johnnyredstorm]

khris middleton is developing into a really solid pro. good foot work, good midrange game, moves well without the ball. not the best at creating his own shot, but a really solid no. 2 or 3 option when plays are ran for him or he's open for the corner 3. milwaukee has a nice young core as well.

 

[awwsome]

Jazz should try to sign KJ McDaniels, his value is getting hurt after the trade to Houston.

Shooting over 40% from 3, he's a guy every team should want.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The Bucks getting playoff experience will be really valuable for the young players

Like I said last night, I'm upset Parker will miss out 

 would have put him ahead of the curve

When's the last time a hyped rookie starter (top 3 pick) made the playoffs?

word, and he's not even making anything crazy salary wise.

Yea it would've been great for him but I think Bari will come back strong next year new and improved.


Luckily his game isn't dependant on his athleticism like most young wings.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I think Jabari will be fine too

Serious though, anyone remember the last time we saw a top 3 pick make the playoffs his first season as a starter? I can't recall but I know I'm probably blanking 

 

[awwsome]

Utah about to F around and select WCS

If I'm the Magic, I'm drafting him and moving Vuc to the 4.


Payton
Dipo
Harris
Vuc
WCS


Who's keeping up with that team in transition and on the boards?
