![]() Hard work is cool and all, but it means nothing if it doesn't bare fruit in the end. We'll see if DeMar can put his ethic to use next year and blossom into a top SG in the league.

![]() Can't argue with DD's work ethic. I honestly think he could be a late bloomer, he played half a year of college right out of HS and the the NBA. He is just learning the game right now. He has made huge steps this year, and if he can learn to set his guys up a little better, which he will, he could really turn into a special player.
Shooting the three is reps. He has improved every year so far. In 2-3 years he might be just awesome. |

![]() some of us advocated for Favors and others said he's nowhere near his level.... this story doesn't change that either.
It's good to see that Demar is thought to be a hard worker, but he's got a long way to go. Rudy has helped his game tremendously, we got lucky to get Rudy here for Jose and Ed. |

![]() Both Favors and Millsap are much better players than Demar currently. Only difference is Favors has the potential to be one of the leagues best bigmen, so he's essentially an untouchable for the Jazz, but Millsap can be had because of Favors.

![]() sure, but I think demar will have a better trajectory to look forward to than millsap. I think millsap is what he is and what he'll ever be at this point. demar on the other hand due to his limited handles and 3 pt shot still has so much room to grow offensively, as well as defensively, and since he's shown to put the work in, if he can get even average in all those 3 areas, he will be a prime sg in the league. millsap on the other hand is too physically limited to ever be a true defensive stopped which is what you want to see from your back court

![]() Is he really THAT much better right now than demar? U also have to think what the impact of losing demar will be on this team. Not one of our backup wings is capable of starting at SG (yet) but amir can definitely start for this team. A lot of things to consider aside from just players' skill levels
