Game 1 against Charlotte today at 1 eastern on NBA TV........

I can't wait to see Hayward play.......

He is more of a team player not a stat guy. Watching him play is the only way possible to judge if he played well. He doesnt have the make up to take a game over even though the skills are there to do so. I think this is so because he use to be a PG until his growth spurt in high school. He still has the pass first mentality which should help the Jazz offense, but it stops him from having big stat games which so many media people and fans seem to judge a players value.

Besides Hayward, there's a couple of others on the summer league team that I really want to see as well......

Gaines, let's see how well he does....... The other guy we drafted....... Koufos, this season is his last chance (as far as the Jazz go at least) to show that he belongs.......

There's a PF from Arkansas that has some potential.....

Not too mention Dragicevic.......

And a guy from Syracuse as well, Nichols........

I am glad Gordon is in Orlando and not at the RMR this year. Too many people want him to fail to justify their own egos.

so far Jeffers looks good and Gaines is a ball hog but he is good at that...Hayward is a skinny harpring...Kosta looks like a dud

Hayward looks ok but disappointed in his lack of toughness and aggression on the defensive end. Way too soft!!! Kid needs to play with a little more agression which I saw lacking in college as well. He cant be happy with just being a good player!!

Would really appreciate some updates. Mainly on Hayward, Kosta, Evans, and Jeffers. Thanks guys!

Hayward is looking ok.. pretty impressed actually. I've only been watching for a little bit but Kosta is..eh.. course this is game number one. I like the 2nd rounder from europe as well.

nice!!! some agression out of hayward

Augustine >>>>> Kosta. Im really disappointed in Kosta. His body looks the same not puttimg in the work in the weight room and he is too worried about offense instead of just rebounding and playing D.

With Memo hurt, Fess clueless, Kosta just terrible, and Boozer likely gone...Who in the hell is going to rebound the ball on the Jazz team? Millsap and AK-47??? KOC get a big in a sign and trade for Boozer!!!

Is Dragicevic out there? I haven't seen him.

red4hf · Post #16 » by **red4hf** » Mon Jul 5, 2010 6:06 pm

Gaines looks pretty good...... The guy backing him up is awful.......

Jeffers is athletic as hell, but he is gambling way too much on defense......

Hayward is looking solid...... Has a nice shooting stroke.......

Dragicevic hasn't played........ Don't know why........

This Augustine fellow is looking pretty good........

Hayward is doing fine. He isn't freestyling like he's the best player on the floor, which is probably what the coaches are asking of him. Jazz are down but it's the players without a shot who aren't looking so hot. (besides Kosta)

Hayward looks good on offense, but so far he's just AK with a better shot (which makes a really good SF) but no D. Unless he starts showing some ability to stay in front of his man, he's not going to find any real playing time this season. He's hustling a lot though and obviously giving it 110%, but it's not translating to anything on the defensive end.

He does look pretty good on offense though. Good positioning, good hustle, looking more comfortable by the minute. In a vacuum, he may be the best player availible at the time... but since we're not in a vacuum, and the NBA is sorely lacking in halfway-decent big men, I'm still not happy about passing up on Aldrich.

No one on Utah has been particularly impressive and we're down by almost 15 going into the half.

Gaines is such a ball hog. The Jazz should consider someone else for back up PG position bc Gaines hass too much school yard in his game. Kosta is done in this league

Given his size and experience compared to the other guys, Kosta should be dominating in this game and he looks below-average.
