Hayward's Stats and Shooting: 16.5ppg, 5apg, 6rpg 46%FG, 37%3pt FG, 82%FT
Thoughts on Coach Snyder: He's detail oriented. The subs at the end of the game against Portland can tell you just how much he thinks about the little things in the game. I think we will be a well-coached team both in offense and defense with lack of experience and in some players - lack of physicality to compete successfully at this level.

Hayward's Stats and Shooting: Dude will beast it, i expect 15-5-5 type nights, everynight.
Thoughts on Coach Snyder:
Compared to Corbin this guy is looks like he picked up right where Sloan left off. Corbin got weight dropped on his shoulders and dropped it, cause he couldn't handle it. Synder held on, cause he knows how to do what he is paid to do, and that is coach. Coach K is probably in his speed dial, right next to Sloans.

Re: 2014-15 Predictions
Whats your problem, i didn't say he is like Jerry Sloan, and i didn't say they had similarities.
Remember when Sloan left, had this group including Synder been the ones taking over, rather than Corbin and his screwed up group, it would have been a proper way to continue the Jazz legacy Sloan left.
The last couple years were crap, after decades of greatness with Sloan. Synder is not a Corbin, he is going to continue the greatness that Sloan built. If Corbin had this group, i doubt we would be 3-0.

Re: 2014-15 Predictions
I wouldn't be surprised if this Jazz team beats up on the weaker teams in this league competes with many playoff teams but gets schooled by the elite teams.
35-40 wins is more than just possible. Playoffs doubtful though in the west.

Re: 2014-15 Predictions
Not really sure, but I'm LOVING the way the team has played in the preseason, I can really see this team surprise a lot of teams and come out of the gates strong, and play very well at home.
Low 30
Guess - 40
High - 45+
I can see us being the Suns of this year, taking the league by surprise. A lot of it has to do with the MUCH needed coaching change, which coincidentally is what pushed the Suns up too.
Points: Burks
Rebounds: Favors
Assists: Burke
Blocks: Favors
Steals: Burks or Hayward
Biggest Surprise - I think for the league it may be Gobert, then Burks.
Disappointment - Kanter. I think a new coach will have less patience, and Gobert is already better IMO, so I see him taking away a lot of minutes, not to mention Booker has showed up very well in the preseason, and if we need to space the floor Novak will get playing time too. I hope I'm wrong, but Kanter just might not turn out as good as we hoped.
Issue - Probably the lack of a star player, though I think Burks is about a season away from becoming an All-Star level playe, hopefully sooner!
Hayward's stats - I expect similar to last year, but with much better efficiency
Coach - I love what I've seen from the team this summer, so if it's any indication, I think he's doing a GREAT job. I like him a lot right now.

35-40 wins is more than just possible. Playoffs doubtful though in the west.
If we can beat each team at the inverse winning percentage of our opponent, we would win 40-42 games (by definition?). For example, if a team has a .83 winning percentage, we'd beat them 17% of the time. If they have a .46 winning percentage, we'd beat them 54% of the time. Eastern Conference times 2, Western Conference times 4. Round up or down.
26 if we round down every time. 55 if we round up every time. 42 by standard rounding rules. 40 by just adding the numbers up. I, of course, excluded playing ourselves, but didn't factor in who we only play three times. So there's a game or so more than 82 there.
Is this all by definition? Because half the games are lost and half the games are won since there are no ties.
