Rate the season!
So basically just want to hear what you have to say about the season as a whole. Starting from the draft last year up to today, rate how you think the Jazz have done as an organization. Grade them A-F.
Last years draft - Eric Maynor/Goran Sutton:
Off season acquisitions - Wesley Matthews:
Pre All-Star Regular Season:
Trades by the deadline - Maynor and Harpring for Cap Space, Ronnie Brewer for Future Memphis First:
Post All-Star Regular Season:
Regular Season Acquisitions - Sundiata Gaines, Othyus Jeffers:
Post Season:
Handling the Cap Situation:
Now rank how every player did this year.
Carlos Boozer:
Kyrylo Fesenko:
Sundiata Gaines:
Othyus Jeffers:
Andrei Kirilenko:
Kyle Korver:
Kosta Koufos:
Wesley Matthews:
CJ Miles:
Paul Millsap:
Mehmet Okur:
Ronnie Price:
Deron Williams:
Now rank the Jazz brass.
Greg Miller:
Kevin O'Connor:
Jerry Sloan:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last years draft - Eric Maynor/Goran Sutton: B: The Jazz traded Maynor with Harpring for about 10 million dollars in cap savings. Not that fans should have to care about the luxury cap but it will help the organization over all. But you don't get better trading away promising young players.
Off season Acquisitions - Wesley Matthews: A+: This guy was lucky to make the team with a CJ Miles injury and was probably our second best wing player this year. Definite keeper.
Pre All-Star Regular Season: C-: The Jazz kept their head above water, but they really should have played better. They lost a lot of stupid games that would have locked up the 2 seed early in the year.
Trades by the deadline - Maynor and Harpring for Cap Space, Ronnie Brewer for Future Memphis First: B+: Again, the Jazz saved a ton a money in both of these trades, and after Brewer was gone CJ and Matthews both played a lot better. Also Brewer didn't play 2 full healthy games for the Grizzlies, and we got a first rounder out of it. That could come in handy.
Post All-Star Regular Season: B: The Jazz record was solid, and they climbed the standings, but still ended the season losing to Phoenix in what would have given them the 3 seed, a first round date with the beat up Blazers, and could have avoided the Lakers in the second round.
Regular Season Acquisitions - Sundiata Gaines, Othyus Jeffers: B+: Though neither really got a lot of playuing time, Gaines probably gave the Jazz the best highlight of the season, and both have a chance to make the roster next year.
Post Season: B: Beating Denver was nice, especially with out home court advantage, without Memo or AK. It's always nice to beat your biggest rival, especially on their home floor. Getting swept by the Lakers is hard to swallow though. They aren't as good as they were in past years, and we had the least amount of success against them. Yes we were injured, but I wanted to see more in what is likely the last time we see this team together like this.
Handling the Salary Cap Situation: B+: The Jazz did a very good job saving money this year, they really shed salary with out giving up all that much. Losing Maynor isn't ideal but saving so much money in the long run helps.
Now rank how every player did this year.
Carlos Boozer: B+: I think we saw everything Boozer has to offer this year. He stayed healthy, he gave us 20/10, he didn't talk to the media, and he played hard. However his weaknesses showed again in the playoffs with his poor defense against long players and his inability to finish around the rim against bigger PF's and C's.
Kyrylo Fesenko: B: Had a pretty crappy regular season, but was a big part of our series win over Denver.
Sundiata Gaines: B+: Didn't see a whole lot of him, but he played well in spot minutes.
Othyus Jeffers: Incomplete. I like his athleticism and his attitude, could be around next year.
Andrei Kirilenko: B: Played very well when healthy, probably the best we've seen him since his big contract year. But he was nagged by injuries again which cost us a lot in the playoffs and the end of the season.
Kyle Korver: B+: Had a record setting shooting season which is why the Jazz brought him in, he finally found his place in the system, and had some big games. Still can't play defense.
Kosta Koufos: C: I really though Kosta was going to have a good year for the Jazz, but he was almost non existent. I can't remember any games that he helped the Jazz win, but the coaches say he is progressing.
Wesley Matthews: A+: What more can you ask for? Rookie, played every single game, played great defense, bought into the system, played hard every night, won the Jazz quite a few games.
CJ Miles: B+: Really took off after Brewer left, and proved he is worth 4 mil a year. Likely a starter next year also.
Paul Millsap: B+: Again, can't ask for much more. Was probably our best big in the post season, and showed he can take over if adequately if Boozer bolts.
Mehmet Okur: B-: I thought he was just average this season, he has obviously regressed from his All-Star year. Love that he tried to play though his injury, but it cost us big time in the Lakers series.
Ronnie Price: C+: He did what he always does, plays well sometimes, poorly others. Good hustle player, not a true PG, is still fun to watch athletically.
Deron Williams: A+: What more can you ask for? Established himself as clearly the best PG in the NBA, had a very good post season, stayed healthy, improved from last year.
Now rank the Jazz brass.
Greg Miller: B-: I think he did what he had too to keep the team competitive, but it seems like money is priority #1.
Kevin O'Connor: C+: Other than bringing in Wes Matthews, I don't feel like KOC did all that much to improve the Jazz this year. He may have been stuck working the Millers pocket book, but his job is to improve the team, and build for the future. He did neither.
Jerry Sloan: A: Again, Sloan did a very good job this year. He had a team that had 3 undrafted rookies on it, only 1 player over 30, and lost 2 solid rotation players and still managed to get the Jazz out of the first round. He was very good this year.

Re: Rate the season!
Last years draft - Eric Maynor/Goran Sutton: B+ finally found a capable back up PG
Off season acquisitions - Wesley Matthews: A+ He's played like well seasoned vet, instead of an undrafted rookie. He deserved much more hype than he got from the national media.
Pre All-Star Regular Season: B- lost a lot of winnable games due to lack of hustle, heart, and focus.
Trades by the deadline - Maynor and Harpring for Cap Space, Ronnie Brewer for Future Memphis First: B, I don't like it but I understand why the trades were made.
Post All-Star Regular Season: A+ the team came together and played some damn good basketball. Peaked early but it was fun to watch
Regular Season Acquisitions - Sundiata Gaines, Othyus Jeffers: A both have great stories (Sunny D's game winner, Thyus' background and journey to the NBA) and I expect them both to make some noise at training camp.
Post Season: I wanna say F but we really didn't do too bad. We competed with the Lakers more than we have in season's past but could come away with any wins and we did a good job against the Nuggets. I'll say B
Handling the Salary Cap: I don't care
Now rank how every player did this year. No.

Re: Rate the season!
Last years draft - Eric Maynor/Goran Sutton: B - terrible 2nd round pick; great first-round pick that they traded to pay for Millsap.
Off season acquisitions - Wesley Matthews: A+
Pre All-Star Regular Season:
Trades by the deadline - Maynor and Harpring for Cap Space, Ronnie Brewer for Future Memphis First: C+ - Disappointed they didn't hold out and try to trade Brewer + Harpring instead.
Post All-Star Regular Season:
Regular Season Acquisitions - Sundiata Gaines, Othyus Jeffers:
Post Season: C - Gaines contributed to one win, then never got off the bench again. Jeffers was a complete non-factor;
Now rank how every player did this year.
Carlos Boozer: A- - Made the best out of a difficult situation (that was partly his fault). Not only was he not a distraction, he played one of his best seasons in Utah, even improving on defense. He also played a ton of minutes at center.
Kyrylo Fesenko: D - Showed flashes but didn't put in the effort to earn more PT.
Sundiata Gaines: C+ - Was good when he got time, but I suspect his failure to pick up on or run the offense kept him on the bench.
Othyus Jeffers: I (incomplete)
Andrei Kirilenko: B - Was great when healthy.
Kyle Korver: C - way too one-dimensional. He'd fare better on a team with a truly dominant big man.
Kosta Koufos: D - Still hasn't shown me that he belongs in the NBA, even as a 10 mpg guy.
Wesley Matthews: A - Earned everyone's respect, even the officials. Guy got a lot of calls and nearly led the Jazz in FT shooting.
CJ Miles: B - What a turnaround. I was calling for the guy's head those first 15 games after his injury. He had a really good last third and postseason. Brings a lot more to the table than Korver.
Paul Millsap: B - As with boozer, made the best out of a difficult situation. There were still too many games where he looked completely lost/frustrated/helpless on the block for me to give him anything higher than a B.
Mehmet Okur: B - Like CJ, he had a good last third of the season. Sucks about his injury.
Ronnie Price: D - He's not a point guard. I'd say he's a really small shooting guard but he's not a good enough shooter to be that.
Deron Williams: A - Turned it up in the postseason, elevated his game and earned a lot of fans. I hope that translates into a fantastic season next year. Hopefully he'll step into the leadership void on this team.
Now rank the Jazz brass.
Greg Miller: C - I have no idea how much he has affected the personnel moves, so I'll just give him a C. I get the feeling he talked out of both sides of his mouth a lot.
Kevin O'Connor: C+ - After committing to contend this year by not dealing Boozer and re-signing Millsap, he failed to land any veteran help for the playoffs; summer moves essentially forced the Jazz to trade what was a really good first round draft pick. I give him credit for trading Brewer.
Jerry Sloan: A -- One of his best coaching performances this season. I think he got the most out of his players, including both Boozer and Millsap, and the young guys, Matthews and Miles.

Re: Rate the season!
Carlos Boozer: B, Stayed healthy for the most time, bad timing on his last injury prolly costed us the WCF. Was a beast for most of the season and was snubbed as an all-star (seriously, Kaman?) Went out on an awful note vs. the Lakers but I always felt like he was giving it his all, he was just entirely outmatched.
Kyrylo Fesenko: F ,Don't know how anyone would give him a better grade. Completely digressed this year and had a couple good games in the playoffs before being shred to bits vs. the Lakers. I wouldn't be sad if the guy is gone.
Sundiata Gaines: A ,Not much more you can ask for from a 3-string point guard out of the d-league, he literally won a game for us so he did his part.
Othyus Jeffers: I , Didn't really show us a ton, didn't really get a lot of minutes, just a body for practice really.
Andrei Kirilenko: C , Injuries plague him again, started the season off slow than really really picked it up, vintage AK. Thought at that point we were a serious contender than bam, calf, than bam again calf, and than bam again for good measure.. 3 calf injuries and the season is over.
Kyle Korver: B, Basically did what he is supposed to and shoot the ball. He set a record for 3 point percentage. Which is impressive but is entirely one dimensional.
Kosta Koufos: F , See Fes
Wesley Matthews: A- , Was exception basically all season. Killed his expectation this year and has prolly played himself into a nice contract and quite frankly I'm ecstatic to see what he'll do for us next year (assuming we resign him). Awful series against the Lakers gives him the (-).
CJ Miles: B , I like his contract a lot more and really played well in the playoffs for the most part. I think he has grown a ton and his potential and age is a good thing. Not incredibly consistent still but with another year under his belt I think he'll be even better next year.
Paul Millsap: B+ , Started the season slow, I questioned his contract but since the "poison" part is over, not bad to have him for roughly 6 million for the next few years. He is perfect off the bench with a guy like Booz infront of him and really played like the 6th man of the year. Had a monster playoffs.
Mehmet Okur: D, Hard to be tough on Memo since he literally left it all out there for us. Came back from his injury to soon only to rupture that achillies. His contract is not the best and really had a subpar season for his standards.
Ronnie Price: D, Was pretty bad as the back-up point guard for the most part. Usually out of control and struggled with his shot. We really need an upgrade here.
Deron Williams: A-, Was finally the all-star he deserved, and was IMO the best point guard clearly in the NBA. I felt like he ran out of steam against the Lakers after his dismantling of the Nuggets. Still has to learn how/when to control the tempo a little better along with his aggressiveness on the offensive end.
Now rank the Jazz brass.
Greg Miller: B , Paid the tax which is something I never though Larry would do, but didn't like the way he treated fans with some of his backwards talk..
Kevin O'Connor: C , Unimpressed with the Maynor trade, thought he could have had a real impact behind Deron. With that said, the Brewer trade was brilliant, though I wish he could have gotten a better pick back in exchange.
Jerry Sloan: B , Did a good job with the group considering the circumstances to start the season. Was incredible IMO in the playoffs with what he had. Prolly could have developed those 7-footers better, but judging by the playoffs, doesn't look like those guys had any hope anyways.
Kyrylo Fesenko: F ,Don't know how anyone would give him a better grade. Completely digressed this year and had a couple good games in the playoffs before being shred to bits vs. the Lakers. I wouldn't be sad if the guy is gone.
Sundiata Gaines: A ,Not much more you can ask for from a 3-string point guard out of the d-league, he literally won a game for us so he did his part.

Re: Rate the season!
So basically just want to hear what you have to say about the season as a whole. Starting from the draft last year up to today, rate how you think the Jazz have done as an organization. Grade them A-F
Last years draft - Eric Maynor/Goran Sutton: C - I wish we could have seen what Maynor would have done throughout the season.
Off season acquisitions - Wesley Matthews: A - I would argue that he is the smartest player we have defensively
Pre All-Star Regular Season: B - We contended but picked up post regular season
Trades by the deadline - Maynor and Harpring for Cap Space, Ronnie Brewer for Future Memphis First: C - I would have liked to have seen Korver go
Post All-Star Regular Season: A - Played sound Jazz basketball and made a great turn around.
Regular Season Acquisitions - Sundiata Gaines, Othyus Jeffers: A - These guys are both steals. We did a great job finding these guys in the D league
Post Season: C+ - Would have liked to have seen a win against LA but we did beat the Nuggets which is always nice in my book
Handling the Salary Cap:
Now rank how every player did this year.
Carlos Boozer: A - What he did for us offensively was tremendous this year
Kyrylo Fesenko: C- - Was really stoked of Fes at the beginning of the season, but now I doubt his ability of being force in the NBA and also his commitment level
Sundiata Gaines: B+ - Every time he was on the court he made a statement in some kind of way
Othyus Jeffers: I
Andrei Kirilenko: B + He stepped up this year and added a whole new facet to our game
Kyle Korver: C - Inconsistent. One dimensional. Terrible defender.
Kosta Koufos: F - Never liked him. Pussy when rebounding
Wesley Matthews: A + - Again, this guy is an extremely well disciplined basketball player. He has the shot, the attitude, and the mind to become one of the leagues best
CJ Miles: B - Stepped up his game later in the season. He is the best player on our team when it comes to controlling the ball during drive ins
Paul Millsap: A- - The guy works his ass off. Dependable. He can score when he needs to.
Mehmet Okur: C + - Never really saw much of him this season. He struggled beyond the arc but did pick it up offensively a little.
Ronnie Price: C - I love his hustle but damn this guy can't shoot to save his life
Deron Williams: A- - When he is on he is the best in the league. I'd like to see him take care of the ball more and play within himself.
Last years draft - Eric Maynor/Goran Sutton: C - I wish we could have seen what Maynor would have done throughout the season.
Off season acquisitions - Wesley Matthews: A - I would argue that he is the smartest player we have defensively
Pre All-Star Regular Season: B - We contended but picked up post regular season

Carlos Boozer: A - What he did for us offensively was tremendous this year
Kyrylo Fesenko: C- - Was really stoked of Fes at the beginning of the season, but now I doubt his ability of being force in the NBA and also his commitment level
Sundiata Gaines: B+ - Every time he was on the court he made a statement in some kind of way
Othyus Jeffers: I
Andrei Kirilenko: B + He stepped up this year and added a whole new facet to our game
Kyle Korver: C - Inconsistent. One dimensional. Terrible defender.
Kosta Koufos: F - Never liked him. Pussy when rebounding
Wesley Matthews: A + - Again, this guy is an extremely well disciplined basketball player. He has the shot, the attitude, and the mind to become one of the leagues best
CJ Miles: B - Stepped up his game later in the season. He is the best player on our team when it comes to controlling the ball during drive ins
Paul Millsap: A- - The guy works his ass off. Dependable. He can score when he needs to.
Mehmet Okur: C + - Never really saw much of him this season. He struggled beyond the arc but did pick it up offensively a little.
Ronnie Price: C - I love his hustle but damn this guy can't shoot to save his life
Deron Williams: A- - When he is on he is the best in the league. I'd like to see him take care of the ball more and play within himself.

Re: Rate the season!
Can we add "offseason signings:Millsap and Okur"?
Boozer-A+ Boozer had one of the best seasons in the league of any player in the NBA. Too bad Gasol is like kryptonite to him
Williams-A+ Really continued to grow. Still makes occasional mental errors, but a allstar
Okur-C Okur was pretty bad this year. His shooting was inconsistent, I thought re-signing him for 3 yrs was terrible. I'll say it one more time "the jazz don't need a center who camps the 3pt line".
Miles-B Nice job by the young guy, continues to develop.
Millsap-B Interesting but if not for the playoffs, I would rate millsap as a C. Guy was invisible for large parts of the regular season. To his credit he really turned it on in the playoffs.
AK-B+ Having a great year until yet another injury. Sad.
Price-D- The guys is garbage, even in his limited time on the court, I still don't think he is anything close to a competent backup pg. He makes me yearn for the days of Capt crunch.
Mathews-A+ This is easy. Undrafted rookie becomes an essential starter for our team. Made defensive and offensive clutch plays.
Sloan-A Not a big sloan fan, but he did an excellent job this year.
Overall Grade for the year- B- Seemed like most people thought the jazz weren't really contenders. I assumed a 2nd round exit before the season started, so no real disappointment. Although, I think the time has run out on this current group of players.

Re: Rate the season!
C for mediocre, as most Jazz seasons are. there is always a period or two where this team gives you false sense of hope but at the end you know they are not a serious contender.

Re: Rate the season!
C- less than mediocre. Finished 5th in the west, 2nd in the division, and were 1-7 against the best team in the west, after 2-7 and 4-8 the previous two years.
Ended season with 2 d=league scrubs on the active roster and still have not addressed length and athleticiam issues
Team always has injury issues=will never be fully healthy as assembled.

Re: Rate the season!
The grading game...
PG
Deron Williams: A+ Became the best point guard in the league. I'm not sure what more we could ask of him. Plus he had the guts to call out the front office and tell them this team, as constructed, isn't good enough to win a title.
Ronnie Price: D Other than the occasional fluke energizer bunny routine, his play has been a complete failure. He can't shoot, he doesn't run the offense, and he's too short to really play any defense. He needs to be traded or waived.
Sundiata Gaines: C Superb game vs Cleveland and really nothing else.
SG
Wesley Matthews: B+ To me the most impressive thing about him was the way he brought it all year. No rookie wall. Got a bit of a rude awakening in the playoffs though.
Kyle Korver: C it took him half a season to get back to being himself, but that 3-point stoke is still really pretty. I hope the Jazz find a way to bring him back on the cheap.
SF
AK47: A/F During his healthy stretch as a starter, AK was the engine driving the machine. His inability to sustain it literally derailed the entire season. I don't know where to grade him anymore.
CJ Miles: B looked like he was heading for a D, but he really turned it around late in the season and in the playoffs. Still maddeningly inconsistent, but he has the ability to take over games for short stretches. He's kind of our version of Vernon Maxwell.
Othyus Jeffers: D Thanks for stopping by. Don't forget to pickup your parting gift on the way out.
PF
Carlos Boozer: D- I don't care what kind of numbers he put up during the regular season. His refusal to even try playing vs the Suns on the last day of the season burned any bridges he had left. I want him gone. He talks a big game but never backs it up.
Paul Millsap: C Sulked his way through the first half of the season. I honestly want him gone too. He's too short to play the position as a full time starter and he's too good to be just a role player.
C
Mehmet Okur: C He gets an A for effort, but he wasn't physically right all season. I hope this isn't the end of Okur, but I kinda think it is. Sad, since he's my favorite current Jazzman.
Fes/Kosta: D- Both players regressed to the point that its questionable if they should even be in the league.
Sloan: B+ a nice coaching job for the most part, but he still is absolutely owned by Phil Jackson. His inability to even try to do something different against Phil is the biggest blemish on his coaching resume.
Front Office: C. Brewer trade was surprising good. Maynor trade wasn't, but that move was never about basketball. If the Jazz don't find a way to get a legitimate bigman in the offseason, then the grade goes to F, because they are losing the same way, every season and doing nothing to address the issue.
Ownership: D They claimed they were willing to pay the tax, but then made money trades that stripped the team of depth and hurt us in the playoffs. I don't like being lied to, and it felt like Greg Miller was ust another used car salesman in a bad plaid sportscoat.

Re: Rate the season!
Last years draft - Eric Maynor/Goran Sutton: B
Good pick in Maynor but was traded away to save money. Good to see the Jazz scouting department is still on a hot streak. Sutton was what everyone expected and didn't last long.
Off season acquisitions - Wesley Matthews: A+
Great pick-up that should be in a Jazz uniform for many years to come. We would have been in a whole lot of trouble without this pickup.
Pre All-Star Regular Season: C-
Pretty horrible start that really hurt us coming down the stretch. Losing CJ and Korver to start the season really hurt. Finished strong going into the break but was mostly dominated by the dissapointing start.
Trades by the deadline - Maynor and Harpring for Cap Space, Ronnie Brewer for Future Memphis First: B+
Saved money but nothing else. I loved Brewer and was sad to see him go, same with Maynor. Good to drop Harps contract though.
Post All-Star Regular Season: A-
Had some great wins but also had some pretty costly stumbles coming down the stretch. Was nice to see CJ and Korver get back and be effective. Losing AK really hurt.
Regular Season Acquisitions - Sundiata Gaines, Othyus Jeffers: A
Both are good pick-ups, Gaines could easily replace Price this next season as back-up PG and Jeffers might stick around as a good bech warmer. Really hard to tell what will happen with these two but the Sundiata game winner over the Cavs alone gives them an A.
Post Season: B+
Pretty much went out where everyone thought we would and to the team everyone knew we would. It was awesome to beat Denver whithout homecourt advantage and while we were banged up but being swept by the Lakers really over-shadows the greatness of that series.
Handling the Cap Situation: A
Pretty much did what we needed to do and did what we could with what we had.
Carlos Boozer: B+
Played great after his rocky start but was a huge dissapointment for the last game of the season against the Suns and the playoffs. Monster season, terrible post-season.
Kyrylo Fesenko: C+
Showed some improvement but is pretty much the same player he was last year. Still needs to make leaps forward mentally.
Sundiata Gaines: B+
Didn't get much playing time but the game winner was awesome. Interested to see if he gets the nod over Price for the back-up PG spot.
Othyus Jeffers: N/A
Seems like a good kid who fits in the Sloan system, needs more PT to get a grade.
Andrei Kirilenko: A-
Other than his calf injury to end the season AK looked great. Really improved his body and it showed in his play. Had a few games where he looked like the dominating AK of old, interesting future ahead of him. He and CJ get my most improved player of the year award.
Kyle Korver: C+
I expected a lot more from KK this year but he was hindered by injuries for most of the year.
Kosta Koufos: B
Still working like a horse but still has a ways to go. People forget just how young he is, just give the kid time. B for the hard work and the epicness in the Denver series
Wesley Matthews: A+
Love the kid. Couldn't ask for a better rookie or a better pick-up for this team. Needs to improve his shooting but his defense and post up ability are great additions for the team. Lucky enough to meet him earlier in the year.
CJ Miles: A-
Looked like he was going to break through until his pre-season injury. I expected much more of him but the injury ruined most of those expectations. Still shows signs of mental weakness but has made some huge steps forward. Ties with AK for most improved player of the year award.
Paul Millsap: B+
Really inconsistent at times but still the Millsap we all love. Improved his outside jump shot which has really increased his value to the team. Needs to stop fouling so much, improve his free throw shooting and be more consistent.
Mehmet Okur: C+
Injury at the end of the year is a killer. Improved his defense but lost his offense. Dissapointing year to say the least, showed signs of his old self but had a hard time stringing good games together. Usually disappeared on the road.
Ronnie Price: C-
I really expected more from Ronnie Price this year. Didn't show much improvement from last season and Gaines is threatening to take over his job.
Deron Williams: A-
I love Deron more than anyone but I can't give him anything higher than an A-. Has had some injury issues that hampered his play that he needs to take care of. His jumpshot and ball-handling seemed to take a hit this year but I will contribute that to his wrist problems. Finally made the all-star team which is good. Needs to be more vocal as a leader but improved his leadership throughout the year. Seems to be on the verge of becoming the best point guard in the NBA but needs to stay healthy. Ran the team well and deserves all the credit for how the season went.
Greg Miller: B-
Did what he could being a new owner but needs to involve Deron more in decision making.
Kevin O'Connor: B+
Still one of the best GM in the NBA. Did what he could with what he had. Glad he is here.
Jerry Sloan: A-
Good old Jerry but I can't forgive that Dallas game.
Overall: B+
Pretty average season. Team took some big steps forward on many fronts but still ended up with the same results. Can't give them anything higher than B+ after another 2nd round exit and more health issues.
Good pick in Maynor but was traded away to save money. Good to see the Jazz scouting department is still on a hot streak. Sutton was what everyone expected and didn't last long.

Re: Rate the season!
Just gotta say, CJ Miles turned into a hell of a basketball player during this season. I remember not being able to stand every time he got the ball out side of the 3. JUMPSHOT JUMPSHOT JUMPSHOT. Now, i think he was easily our 3rd best player during the playoffs. Props to that. I wanna this Miles as a starter next season.
