That's a great post.  Jazz Nation is a lot like Orange Nation.  They have a very rabid fan base who love guys who play hard.  The Miller's owned the team forever and recently sold them but the new owners have committed to keep the team in Utah.  Quin Snyder is a great coach, but just lost three of his assistants who left for great opportunities.  Like OiG said, the bench is weak, even if Clarkson comes back so Eli will have a great opportunity to learn.  Snyder will give him chances but as soon as he comes off the bench he will need to perform, especially on the defensive end.  That is the big weakness once Mitchell and Gobert come off the floor.  That's why they tried Ingles as the 6th man so the bench wasn't so weak.  Clarkson did a great job coming over in January but Mudiay didn't add value so he is gone. Plus, for anyone who doesn't watch the NBA regularly, everyone is bigger, stronger and faster, plus can shoot the ball better than in college no matter if Eli is playing the 2 or the 3.  Especially from the corner where you see 6'10 guys just waiting for the ball.  Congrats to Eli on his great opportunity.  Hope you make the most of your minutes and have a long career.
