Is it me or does his shot look a bit different than last yr?

A little more arch than last year for sure. Hope he didn't mess with it too much.

Same, last thing we need is 2 starters who got jump shot struggles because of changing forms

hand placement and follow thru look a bit different

The team had a plan for him last season and they stuck to it, even at times where it felt nonsensical. He has a skill, let's see if he can take that and be a real player for us at some point.

I didn't get the hate considering he didn't even get to play. How can you hate a player that doesn't get to play?

Now, if he was touted as shooter and he comes in, plays ~18mpg and shoots sub 30% from deep with bad defense, then yeah, I get it. But that is not what happened.

the assumption became that he is so bad that he cant even get on the court

which is wild considering how deep our roster was last yr and Jett was coming off an injury in college

Gary playing is a wash.... Anything he's giving you defensively is negated by what he's not giving you consistently offensively... He can guard but the opps don't have to guard him so his apparent "spacing" is muted

I know this is off course but I remember Paolo’s first preseason game rookie year, where he looked a little “overwhelmed” and Franz came in next game and calmed him down. Now, seeing him play so incredibly calm is such a full circle moment.

Lol, George might still be the better player. The things George and Howard are asked to do for their respective teams are completely different. Howard is just a spot up shooter at this point. George is basically being asked to play the Paolo role for the Jazz.

Ummm the Jazz has this guy Lauri and even Collins to do the Paolo role... Keyonte i think is being evaluated on what he should be still. But you are right about roles, doubt UTA would ask Gworge to be just a spot up shooter.

Seeing CP3 there gives the vibe of a NCAA div1 player playing against grade schoolers. Doesnt look loke he sweats even.

Completely out of left field... I wish we could have nabbed Edey at some point over the last 3 or 4 years.

If you watch the Jazz, they are definitely building that team around George. As a rebuilding team, I don't see them building around a soon to be 28 year old Lauri. Honestly, I see Lauri being traded at some point. Building around Lauri is like building around AG, Vuc, and Evan.

my patience for Cole is running REALLY thin

KillMonger · Post #156 » by **KillMonger** » Thu Oct 10, 2024 1:37 am

Playing through Cole..... Just like last year..... Where is the evolution in the offense?

Black, unfortunately does not have an offensive bag to rely on to be the main ball handler for the 2nd unit.

I wanted him this summer. I thought he would have done great with our guys.
