I know he's hated by many in here, but if he can pass a physical, I would sign DeMarcus Cousins yesterday!! We need someone who will show some fight.
My God, Garrett Temple may quite possibly be the worst NBA player I?ve ever seen. If he sees any game action other than mop up time in the regular season then shame on Willie Green.
Why are the Jazz still playing good players? Keep screwing around like this and someone could get hurt in a game that was never going to matter, regardless the outcome.
Is the pick we gave up next year for Graham Lottery Protected?
With all due respect to Chet, he's not close to Wembanyama as a prospect.
Not that that matters, since Victor isn't eligible for the draft until 2023 not 2022, but still.
I'd also take Paolo Banchero and AJ Griffin over Chet in 2022. And it's debatable between Chet and Yannick Nzosa at 3.
You can see the difference in the skill level of the these teams against ours.
Imagine how shameful it would be for the Jazz, who have played Donovan Mitchell 30+ minutes, as well as 25+ for each of Bogdan, O'Neale, and Gobert, plus real backup minutes for Ingles and Clarkson (which is basically their league-best core last year) and they didn't crush a Pels team sans Ingram and Zion and Jax.
On the plus side: good to see Devonte' finding his range on some threes tonight. He'd been cold all pre-season before this.
Naji Marshall needs to learn to play within himself. He thinks that he is a good ball handler and passer and he’s just not….by a long shot.
I dont really care about the end results. Enough of the 5-0 preseasons then 30 win regular season.
I am worried about rotations. If Temple and Tomas are getting minutes ahead of NAW, Trey, Kira, and Naji, we might as well have kept SVG and prepared for failure again.
Sit them both at the end of the bench until they can be moved. If Temple starts the opener I might not even watch.
And Billy should not get minutes in front of a healthy Jax either.
And Herb belongs in that mix in front of Temple and Tomas.
I had us as 4-6 as our floor, but now I see it as 2-8 as our floor.
At this point, I'm 100% expecting Zion to miss the first 5 games. And Garret Temple to start and play 25 minutes per night.
Lets just pray Ingram, Graham, or Jonas don't get hurt in 9 days of practice.
Maybe they are starting Temple because they already know he won't play much during the regular season but they also knew that BI would be starting.....so rather than taking a usual upper tier rotation guy and making him miss valuable minutes getting continuity with their projected regular season lineups.....they just inserted Temple there...?
BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
I think it's clear the team needs to narrow down 10 guys for their regular season rotation. Satoransky, DIdi, and Temple should not be rotational players. Hernangomez and Herb should play sparingly and their playing time should be dictated by need.
I felt like this preseason Green was not really interested in the starting lineups and was more worried about finding the right mix for the bench. It seemed like the bench was much stronger than the starting lineup in most of these games.
There isn't a thing Garrett Temple can do on the court that we don't already have Murphy, Naji, and Hart to do. To say nothing of what Ingram can do. I'd be surprised if Temple is even on the actives most nights..
