   he went 1 of 7 last night in his 21 minutes… surely he had the jitters. He played pretty damn tight D. He also dropped 5 dimes. Not bad at all considering 2 days ago he was in the d-league, running another teams offense.. I was quite impressed. He wasn’t trying to force anything, just facilitating.

   That was very uplifting. He seems to be a nice kid. Hope it works for him.

   I still hate the Jazz move to let Eric Maynor go for nothing. Salary dump. Argh!
