and some other thoughts
In the three games I have watched one in person and two on TV I think the following.
Derrick Favors is still a work in progress. Flashes of brilliance but needs to be much more consistant. Gettings reps will help with that. Very happy he signed an extension. good job by front office.
Same for Kanter. Needs to learn when to pass out and start over. Getting good reps though as well.
Hayward seems like his defense regressed some this year. Learning to be the man this year. By the end of the year will know for sure if he is worth a max deal. Is a restricted free agent so we ill see how bad he wants to stay by how bad the posion pill is in some other teams offer.
Alec Burks is reminding me more of CJ miles each time I see him. Flashes of talent but just does not seem to get in a flow. Shot selection needs a lot of work. Not very dependable from outside. flails to the basket a lot. sometimes his defense would make Carlos boozer look good ( just doesn yell and 1 after someone runs by). Would bet his plus/minus is larger than others .
Coach Corbin- not sure many coaches could be a difference maker with this team. Not sure how much of this can be blamed on him for the young people to take their lumps.
Also hope that a trade for Jimmer does not happen with the Jazz. Jazz fan ( think BYU fan with more misguided opinions of team) would be insufferable.
Would not be surprised to see one of the two big contracts from Golden State go during the trade time of Jan.
Miss Demare Carroll. Richard Jefferson makes me miss a lot of people actually but the expiring contract makes sense for the jazz this year.
