There are two statues outside the Delta center for a reason. That being said, I've never been more excited about a Jazz team since the 90's.
Best team we’ve ever had, I can’t wait for this season
Nah man.
D Will > Keyonte (D Will was arguably the best PG in the league at the time. Maybe 2nd best. Keyonte isn’t there yet)
Boozer = JJJ (Boozer better offense and rebounding, JJJ better defense)
AK >= Lauri (AK much better defensively, Lauri better shooter)
Memo > Nurkic (Memo was an all-star during this time)
Brewer < DP (All speculation, but this is the current team’s greatest advantage)
Harpring ~= Bailey (Bailey will eventually be better but not yet based on last year)
Darryn will be a world known name if he plays like ja did when he was a rookie people will want to help him have shoes out and help him be in commercial he could be a house whole name if he plays like the star ja became back in the day I hope he gets to that level wish you luck my friend let's go jazz
