macaroni All-American

but you're right, he needs to extend his range more for the NBA. but we aren't talking about a collinsworth or rondo looking jumper. he's got a nice jump shot, he just doesn't shoot the 3 as much.

If I were the Jazz I would get Harrison Barnes in FA next year.

It's not terrible, he's got great touch and he's 18.

The Jazz won't do that because it goes against their philosophy of building a

Is Simmons a PF though? would make more sense to trade Favors.
