In a loss, Rubio would get zilch. But in wins, I like to go 7 deep.

[MHSL82]

Jazz vs. Thunder - Box Score - December 5, 2017 - ESPN

1. MVP1: Mitchell, 31 Points, 5 Steals, 4 Assists, Good shooting is still MVP despite 5 TOs and only 1 Rebound.
2. MVP2: Sefolosha, 11 Points, 8 Rebounds, and 4 Assists on Good shooting is the most well-rounded outside of Mitchell.

Jazz vs. Rockets - Box Score - December 18, 2017 - ESPN

1. MVP1: Hood, 26 Points, 4 Assists, 3 Rebounds, 2 Steals, 10-18 Shooting, 0 TOs.
2. MVP2: Ingles, 17 Points, 4 Assists, 3 Rebounds, Good shooting, 1 TO.

5. HM5: Jerebko, 6 Points, 3 Steals, 5 Rebounds, 1 Assist, Good shooting, 0 TOs.
6. HM6: Mitchell, 6 Points, 4 Steals, 2 Rebounds, 1 Assist, OK shooting, 1 TO. Injured.
7. HM7: Burks, 8 Points, 4 Rebounds, OK shooting, 1 TO.

Listed 7 players, despite 21-point loss, because they were winning through 3 quarters and Mitchell was injured in-game, playing without Gobert or Favors. Hard to adjust midway and while they deserved to lose, 7 players played hard in a difficult situation against a great team.

Jazz vs. Thunder - Box Score - December 20, 2017 - ESPN

1. MVP1: Sefolosha, 12 Points, 2 Blocks, 1 Assist, 1 Steal, 3 Rebounds, Good shooting, 1 TO. Started 6-8 from the field, finished 6-11 in garbage time.
2. MVP2: Burks, 14 Points, 4 Assists, 7 Rebounds, 2 Steals, 1 TO. Shot poorly, but beats Hood who didn't do anything but score and shot poorly.
3. HM3: Favors, 9 Points, 2 Rebounds, Good shooting, 0 TOs.
4. HM4: Hood, 17 Points, 1 Steal, Zero Rebounds, Zilch Assists, Nada Steals, OK shooting, 4 TOs.
5. HM5: Bradley, 4 Points, 3 Rebounds, 2-2 Shooting, doing what he can in limited opportunity.
6. HM6: None.
7. HM7: None.

Tempted to give no one any points except Sefolosha, but I don't want too many of these until the end. If you are wondering, O'Neale (8 Points, 3 Rebounds, 1 Assist, OK shooting, 3 TOs) and Ingles (6 Rebounds, 3 Assists, 0-4 Shooting, 0 TOs) would have rounded out the 7 if we had been competitive. 35.6%, Hood NOT stepping up for Mitchell, and 18 TOs? No soup for you.

 

[MHSL82]

Spurs vs. Jazz - Box Score - December 21, 2017 - ESPN

1. MVP1: Hood, 29 Points, 3 Rebounds, 1 Steal, 1 Block, Good shooting. Started 12–21 but missed his last three shots when we had a double-digit lead. No lead is safe against the Spurs, but at least the three misses were not in a loss. No assists!
2. MVP2: Rubio, 11 Points, 7 Assists, 11 Rebounds(!), 1 Steal, Poor shooting, but 6 TOS.
3. HM3: Favors, 14 Points, 9 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 Block, Good shooting, 1 TO.
4. HM4: Ingles, 6 Points, 5 Assists, 5 Rebounds, Good shooting, 1 TO.
5. HM5: Jerebko, 9 Points, 2 Assists, 3 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 Steal, 1 Block, OK shooting, 1 TO.
6. HM6: Johnson, 10 Points, 4 Rebounds, 1 Assist, Good shooting, 0 TOs.
7. HM7: Burks, 12 Points, 3 Rebounds, Poor shooting, 2 TOS.

@nuraman00 , I need your help. Do you think Rubio should drop down due to his six turnovers and poor shooting? Am I overrating Ingles and underrating Burks?

2. MVP2: Rubio, 16 Points, 8 Assists, 10 Rebounds(!), 1 Steal, 1 Block, Good shooting, 2 TOs.
3. HM3: Sefolosha, 10 Points, 12 Rebounds, 3 Steals, 1 Assist, Poor shooting, 1 TO. Great defense at the end on LeBron James, avoiding the foul but making it too hard to score. Makes up for poor shooting.
4. HM4: Favors, 19 Points, 6 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 3 Steals, 8-11 Shooting, 3 TOs. Guards stole all the rebounds it seemed. Not well-rounded output.
5. HM5: Ingles, 8 Points, 5 Assists, 2 Steals, 1 Rebound, 1 Block, 3-5 Shooting, 1 TOs.
6. HM6: Hood, 12 Points, 2 Assists, 1 Rebound, Poor shooting, 0 TO.

[MHSL82]

Pelicans vs. Jazz - Box Score - January 3, 2018 - ESPN

1. MVP1: Johnson, 20 Points, 7 Rebounds. 2 Assists, 9-12 Shooting, 2-3 from Downtown, 0 TOs. Not garbage time points - 11 before the second half, 14 through 3 quarters, 4 of the 6 points were scored to put the game within 9 points or fewer with 2-4 minutes to go. Shooting well and zero turnovers puts him above Mitchell here.
2. MVP2: Mitchell, 24 Points, 2 Assists, 1 Steal, 3 Rebounds, 6-17 Poor shooting, 3-11 from Downtown, 3 TOs. Too 3PT happy, but still was aggressive, earning 10 FT attempts (9 made).
3. HM3: Rubio, 11 Points, 7 Assists, 4 Steals, 2 Rebounds, OK shooting, 1 TO. Well-rounded, good defense, and only 1 TO.
4. HM4: Favors, 11 Points, 9 Rebounds, 2 Assists, 1 Steal, 1 Block, Good shooting, 2 TOs.
5. HM5: Ingles, 8 Points, 5 Assists, 4 Rebounds, OK shooting, 1 TO.
6. HM6: Burks, 9 Points, 6 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 1 Steal, OK shooting, 2 TOs.
7. HM7: Udoh, 6 Points, 3 Rebounds, 2 Steals, 1 Assist each, OK shooting, 0 TOs.

Jazz vs. Nuggets - Box Score - January 5, 2018 - ESPN

1. MVP1: Mitchell, 15 Points, 5 Assists, 7 Rebounds, 1 Steal, 1 Block, OK Shooting, 1 TO. Focus before garbage time (19 point deficit to start the 4th) gets more consideration than bench, if no sufficient comeback.
2. MVP2: Ingles, 9 Points, 9 Assists, 4 Rebounds, 2 Steals, Good shooting, 4 TOs. Debated on giving him MVP due to assists, but 4 TOs is too many. 4-7 and 9 points isn't wow, either.
3. HM3: Favors, 14 Points, 10 Rebounds, 1 Assist, 3 Blocks, 6-10 Shooting, 2 TOs. Forgive me, @nuraman00 , for looking at +/- factor, but it's -25 vs. +3 when comparing Rubio and Favors respectively. In 23 minutes for Rubio versus 34 for Favors. Clearly, Snyder didn't need or want Rubio out there with his play.
4. HM4: Rubio, 15 Points, 2 Assists, 5 Rebounds, 1 Steal, 6-9 Shooting, 2 TOs. Having bashed him earlier, he did more in a Live Game than Hood did in garbage time.
5. HM5: Hood, 12 Points, 3 Assists, 4 Rebounds, 1 Steal, Good shooting, 3 TOs. Having bashed him earlier, he did more overall than usual. I mean, 3 assists!!!!! 4 Rebounds! This is a breakout game for Hood.
6. HM6: Sefolosha, 10 Points, 5 Rebounds, 2 Steals, 1 Assist, 1 Block, Poor shooting, 1 TO.
7. HM7: Johnson, 5 Points, 7 Rebounds, 3 Assists, Poor shooting, 2 TOs.
