What level was Dunn?

 

[nuraman00]

The Jazz twice had a player in their arms, and they played him zero minutes.

Westbrook is averaging 6 assists a game off the bench. And 1.4 steals too. That's 2.9 times what George does as a starter, for steals.

 

[nuraman00]

I have no idea how the Jazz won. This was a guaranteed loss.

I have no idea how the Jazz won. This was a guaranteed loss.

Probably from George’s 4-11 shooting. Though, I did like his 9 assists.

 

[MHSL82]

It didn’t meet our criteria for only one player being within one shot of 50% or greater, but everyone on the Jazz shot either 50% or greater or was one shot away. Not a big deal except that we’re not a very good shooting team so it’s notable.

[nuraman00]

Yeah, one of the better shooting Jazz games of the year.

 

[nuraman00]

What levels were Conley Jr. and Rubio?

How many games have Markkanen, Kessler, and George played together in their careers?

How many have all 3 started together?

The last salvage of whether is is a PG would be if they actually played together, and things looked different. But I don't know how many games they've played together so far.

What level was Dunn?

Bump?

Bump?

1. Stockton
2. Williams/Maravich
3. Rubio/Conley
4. Dunn/Eisley/Vaughn
5. Anyone else not named George.

Where is Rickey Green?

Mostly agree with your list.

I would drop Rubio down to # 4.

I would either put Dunn at 2.5, or put him in tier 3. Also, it's too bad we didn't get Conley Jr. when he was younger.

We might have evaluated him a little differently, and he might have been a tier 2.

I liked what I saw in Memphis. But a different test would have been how he would have done on the Jazz, when he was younger.

Dunn is good.

A few more additions:

I would probably put Gordon Hayward in tier 3. During those first few years with the Jazz, his shooting was not impressive. I called him a sour shooter.

I don't know why people kept calling him a shooter. His numbers didn't justify that. Not his FG%, nor 3 point %.

And he averaged 5.2 assists on year. I liked him as a ball handler and playmaker more than a shooter. When he tried to shoot the ball, I knew he'd miss.

Eventually the Jazz got different players, and he was no longer a ball handler.

Where do you think Joe Ingles should go?

And Jordan Clarkson?

 

[MHSL82]

Another good game of shooting… though one player did shoot two less than half and George was again below 50% (6-13).

You didn't mention that they beat their rivals the Trail Blazers by 42 points.

Although it's not a rivalry right now when both teams suck. And they haven't met in the playoffs in 24 years.

 

[MHSL82]

Shot pretty well for a loss… except for George,, of course.

Russell Westbrook with a 100% FG, 100% FT, 4 steal triple double. They did not defend him well, even for a loss.

The Jazz had two chances to keep him, and they didn't.

And no turnovers for Westbrook.

 

[nuraman00]

And no turnovers for Westbrook.

Good one. This has to be one of the most impressive triple doubles in history, when taking into account FG%, FT%, turnovers, and defensive stats (steals or blocks).

Although, someone probably has one equally impressive with a triple double that includes 10+ blocks.

Or these steals triple doubles.
