And if they do, Sloan will be willing to put them on the court more. He might be more open to that than ever, even admitting that he's reflected back on his career and conceded that he's made mistakes by not playing some guys sooner than he did (Bryon Russell, for instance).

Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, however, didn't hesitate in answering Monday about where he wanted to see improvement from Brewer. "Better defense," Sloan said. "Get up and play people. Use his body, use his quickness. Being able to help people defensively."
"He's got great range," Sloan added. "He's got to learn to get up and be more physical with people. He's got a terrific body. Learn how to get your body on people and use it."Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

Brewer ranked sixth in the NBA in steals last season (1.7 a game), but Sloan sounded as if training camp invitee Wes Matthews had made a better impression than Brewer with his physical defense so far.
"You see what a difference that makes, instead of just playing off and just trying to play passing lanes all the time," Sloan said. "Get your body on people. Don't let them do what they want to do."

Also, why would you want a guy to back off, force guys to shoot long, low percentage, jumpers when you could get right up on them and give them a free path to the basket forcing them into the Jazz shot-blockers?I'm like LeBron James.

Originally posted by Sizzle View PostAgreed. I expect Kouf to make a Brewer like 2nd year improvement. Which is to say, he probably won't be that much better but because he is not a rookie will see increased time and will look better as a result.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

Despite the absence of Jargon on this year's team, I'm guessing all the minutes at the 5 are going to be swallowed up by Memo/Booz in an effort to get Sap on the floor more at the 4.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
