NBA Draft: The Ultimate Point Guard Breakdown

SLC Dunk — If you are like me you have spent hours online trying to figure out the NBA Draft. This season the Utah Jazz really need point guard help as everyone who is allowed to play point guard is currently an unrestricted free agent: Mo Williams, Jamaal Tinsley, Randy Foye, and Earl Watson. As a result for Jazz fans we have our eyes on the point guards available via free agency and the draft. While this guide is useful to us Jazz fans, it's also useful for all NBA fans as well. If you care about the point guards in this draft class -- this is the only resource you need . . . . . . if the only ...

Utah Jazz: As careers wind down, Watson and Tinsley imagine life as rival coaches

Salt Lake Tribune — Utah Jazz: As careers wind down, Watson and Tinsley imagine life as rival coaches by Bill Oram The Salt Lake Tribune Published Apr 5, 2013 08:26PM MDT As veterans sharing one backup role, the Utah Jazz’s two most-senior players spend their time on the bench, dissecting plays, discussing strategy. Essentially, Earl Watson and Jamaal Tinsley are brainstorming and trading ideas for a time they’re no longer on the same team. But not as players. “I think me and Jamaal will end up coaching against each other,” Watson said. The two players have a long history, as opponents as far back as AAU...

Utah Jazz Defense has been quite poor against opposing point guards over the last twenty games

SLC Dunk — On any given night the Utah Jazz will start Mo Williams, Jamaal Tinsley, or Earl Watson at point guard. All three of these players were starters or starter level quality at their peaks -- but it would be absurd to suggest that they (some of them coming off big injuries, and at an elderly age) are still at their peaks. Over the last twenty games the Utah Jazz have won 8 times. And really, over the last twenty games the Utah Jazz have surrendered an average of 18.0 ppg, 6.6 apg, 4.0 rpg, and 1.7 spg to the opposing starting point guard. I'm not even going to insult you readers with the a...

Utah Jazz Player of the Week: Week 18

SLC Dunk — Disappointing week for the Jazz. They had 3 games at home and only came away with 1 win, which came against the Bobcats. The Hawks and Celtics both are good teams and played well, but considering we've beaten OKC/MIA/SAS all at home this year, we can't make any excuses. Utah needs to kick it up a notch. Earl Watson Weekly Line: .7 PPG (20%), 2 RPG, 3 APG (2.7 TOs), .3 BPG, 0 SPG, -8.7 +/- (17 MINS) Earl Watson was inserted into the starting lineup for the first time all season last week. His numbers definitely aren't that good, and if you take quick peak at the stats, he plays much b...

Utah Jazz: Watson continues to learn from former coach Brown

Salt Lake Tribune — Utah Jazz: Watson continues to learn from former coach Brown by Bill Oram The Salt Lake Tribune Published Mar 13, 2013 07:02PM MDT Oklahoma City • Earl Watson never misses an opportunity to speak glowingly of Hubie Brown, or credit his former coach for his NBA success. So when the Jazz veteran heard Brown was on the ESPN team broadcasting Wednesday’s game, he was off to find his mentor. “I can’t say enough about him,” Watson said. “I love him.” Watson played for Brown for three seasons in Memphis, back when Watson said he “didn’t know anything about the NBA, I was just a blank canvas....
