"If you don't play 82 games I get it back next season."
Also I've followed Mike Conley for years, especially being in Alabama. That Memphis team's impact in the South is unreal.

He's just bad. That's all.

You're better off using TOV% because numbers don't tell the story of how often they have the ball in their hands. John Stockton is the NBA's all-time turnovers leader but as a percentage he was not bad at all.zero24gravity wrote:Winglish wrote:Look at the past two years:

I keep hoping that at some point we'll all be glad that the Jazz didn't trade away Dante.

While he didn't dominate, he did become quietly an extremely valuable piece. This year, I will piggyback on Stitches hot takes generosity and state that this is Dante's break out season. This is the year when we all realize what the FO has seen with Dante from the beginning. He will remain healthy and will be come a lethal backup to Conley raising the second units status to the level of domination over other teams. Yes, we don't have an official all-star, but the depth of this team will be the key and Dante is the principal cog that will make a huge difference when he is on the floor. Put him with Ingles and Gobert (after he comes back from his initial rest) and the second unit could (should) be the difference in most games in the RS and come PO! This is the year of the DANTE!

Just before he did his ankle last season he was looking like one of the best backup PG's in the league.

I'm sorry but this hyperbole needs to stop. Dante was scoring 6.9 points on 42% from the floor and 29% from three. He was averaging half as many turnovers as assists.
Dante was looking okay but was statisticallly barfy and a net negative on team effect. He was short of atrocious but certainly not looking like the next best anything other than end-of-bench warmer.

That is flat out not true. Prior to Dante injuring his ankle he was showing a level of play that was really really impressive. Unfortunately as usual he was injured and all progress was lost just like the prior year during the preseason when he looked really good and then the shoulder injury happened.Winglish wrote:Wait wut?ConstableChaos wrote:The key is staying on the floor.
