Grantland NBA Preview

Orlando is playing Oladipo at the point and they have no interior defense whatsoever. No way they're better than Utah.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Neither of them have gotten the minutes Vucevic gets thanks to Millsap and Jefferson. That changes this season.

I still think Favors can be a very good player.

Dude been in the league 3 years going on his 4th and he's still somewhat of an enigma.

Compare rosters.

Why would the sixers trade for royce white when you know he wouldnt travel

Because their game worked for Houston management last season.

Compare rosters.

I did. They're playing Victor Oladipo, a bonafide 2 who'll probably guard some 3's, at the point. Their front court, besides Harris, is tissue paper soft.

Why would the sixers trade for royce white when you know he wouldnt travel

1. White was a throw-in in the deal. They really wanted this Turkish dude who they're stashing in Europe for another season.
2. White is travelling with the team to Europe for preseason so he's willing to do some travelling.

Yes they do. Vucevic is better than anyone on the Jazz. Big Baby was balling before he got hurt. If Gordon Hayward is your best player you're in some deep shyt.

kantor & favors >>> vucevic & baby

Vucevic got minutes last year, Kanter and Favors didn't get as much PT as Vucevic. Both are starters now, both will produce with more minutes and one of them (most likely Favors) will be as good as Vucevic.

Throw in Hayward, Alec Burks, Trey Burke, Brandon Rush, and Marvin Williams. Utah got a more talented squad than Orlando

I don't like Trey Burke but Utah has talented pieces. Their lack of PG will kill them.

Therye not gonna be able to score either,none of those players they have is even a legit top three option on a good team

We'll see. They have unproven big men that could certainly develop into top options.

One thing about the Jazz is they always know how to re-stock their roster and they know how to draft.

Favors and Kanter are limited offensively especially Favors

Come on fam...jalen rose is chummy with everyone

I keep forgetting he's older than me. For some reason I keep thinking he's a teenager. Every time he start talking my brain goes "how this little nikka know?". He a young acting dude. Sometimes it kills me.
