SALT LAKE CITY -- The changing style of play throughout the NBA had an impact on how the Utah Jazz approached free agency and retooled its roster this offseason.The Jazz announced their latest additions Friday -- seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson, George Hill and Boris Diaw. All three provide veteran leadership and playoff experience, but are also versatile players that can fill multiple positons with a variety of skills that give coach Quin Snyder plenty of flexibility.Its huge, general manager Dennis Lindsey said. Allows us to get a variety of combinations on the court. Allows us to play small if we choose to play small. Especially with todays NBA and where its going.The 6-foot-7, 240-pound Johnson can play shooting guard, small forward or power forward. The 6-3, 188-pound Hill can fill either guard position. The 6-8, 250-pound Diaw can play power forward or center with the ball skills to initiate offense from the perimeter.Lindsey said the average NBA team had four small players and one big on the court 16 percent of the time in both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. He noted that number jumped to 25 percent last season. The Golden State Warriors are known for their so-called Death Lineup with Draymond Green at center and four smalls.Now thats not to say were going to necessarily match that, Lindsey said, but with our roster construction coupled with our injuries, we really didnt have a response to when people decided to play small. Now we think we have a better response. Well even see if Quin wants to force matchups that way.The Jazz stress ball movement in their offense and all three additions are adept at passing. Lindsey said Diaw instantly becomes one of the better passers on the team. Its unclear exactly what role each will fill because those are likely to be fluid.Both Johnson and Hill said they werent concerned with starting and Lindsey has said competition up and down the roster was the goal. There will be moments when someone starts or closes one game and doesnt the next.I never think about me, Hill said. Im always thinking about the bigger picture. Expectations, not just for me, is for us to get to the playoffs. Thats going to be the first thing we talk about Day 1. Thats what we need to focus on. Its not about one individual guy. Its not about what is in it for me, how much is this guy getting paid or what this is guy doing. We have one common goal, thats to win games and get to the playoffs.Lindsey listed the offseason goals as adding experienced depth, shooting, passing, physicality and players with a serious mindset. All three check those boxes. The Jazz ranked No. 18 in the league with a 44.9 field goal percentage last season and No. 12 with a 35.5 3-point shooting percentage. Diaws 36.2 3-point percentage last season would have ranked No. 5 on the team and tops among the bigs. Johnson shot 37.2 percent behind the arc in 2015-16 and Hills career-high 40.8 percent would have been a team-high.Definitely helping out from distance, Johnson said. Mainly on both ends of the court, not just offensively. Ive been around the block, man. Ive seen pretty much everything. Im looking forward to this new challenge.The Jazz finished 40-42 last season and one spot out of the playoffs. The team hasnt been in the postseason since 2012. Air Force 1 Italia .

Air Max 97 False . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night.Scotland defence coach Matt Taylor says incoming boss Gregor Townsend should follow the blueprint of predecessor Vern Cotter. Glasgow coach Townsend takes over from the Kiwi next summer after the SRU confirmed Cotters contract would not be renewed at the conclusion of the 2017 Six Nations.Taylor works closely with both men - assisting Townsend at Glasgow while also helping Cotter prepare the Dark Blues - and believes the latter has put Scotland on the path to success Im lucky enough that Im in the Scotland set-up under Vern but also work with Gregor at Glasgow, said Australian-born Taylor who will remain Townsends No 2 with the national side.There hasnt been a formal plan drawn up [to ensure a smooth transition] but I know Gregor is on the phone to Vern a lot and they talk about different things. Vern Cotter will bow out at the end of the 2017 Six Nations I report back to Gregor too and tell him what were doing here in the Scotland camp and how were doing it. He recently said to me to make a note of anything that works well so we can continue with it going forward.Gregor is very detailed in his coaching so he is very conscious of things that work well and things that can be improved on. I would imagine he is only thinking about making small adaptations rather than wholesale changes.He will want to put his own spin on things as all new coaches do but hed be crazy to change everything, because were doing reasonably well. So there will be things that change, but also things that stay the same. Matt Taylor will join Townsend in the Scotland set-up next year Townsend could be left with a nasty hangover of the Cotter era, however, should Scotland lose out to Argentina on Saturday.ddddddddddddScotland - ranked ninth in the world, one place behind the Pumas - can overtake them with a win at Murrayfield.

We know in the back of our minds its important but so is winning every Test match.Youre right to say this game has more importance in that sense but does that add pressure by saying that to the players? Were not preparing any less but of course we understand it. Were just looking to win first and foremost.
