[Game] Kings vs D-League select - 7/14/14

OT, but the Jazz summer league squad is looking really good. Burke is the weak link there, and he isn't awful. Gobert has put on some muscle. I wouldn't be shocked to see them make a run at the 8th spot with a few West teams getting weaker.

^ What the Jazz have going for them is the same thing Orlando has. Youth and plenty of it. However, they don't have that cornerstone to build around, so they have to hope that in the next couple of years they can either luck into drafting one or trade some youth to get yourself in a position to get that franchise type player. Who knows, maybe Exum will be that guy for Utah?

Either Alec Burks or Trey Burke is superfluous in that backcourt with Exum. Package one of those two and Kanter for a two-way big man and you have yourself a contender in two to three years. Exum is my very early pick for r.o.y.
 
I have only managed to watch the first quarter so far (I know, the worst part), but when they mentioned Nik putting on 15 lbs of muscle all I could think of was Dan Majerle.

Like? Dallas got way stronger, Houston/Portland/Spurs/Thunder/Grizzlies/Suns/Clippers/Warriors are all the same or very similar, on top of that Denver should be healthy and New Orleans has more potetnial than any other non playoff team to make a splash this year.

I will be shocked in Utah challanges for a 8th spot
