Snyder Says He's More Grown-Up Now

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> By his own admission, the first year of Kirk Snyder's NBA career was like, "Oh, a roller-coaster.
"I'm afraid of roller-coasters, so when the roller-coaster was going slow, I think I was doing pretty good. But then when it drops out beneath you and you start panicking, that was one of the stopping points for me."
Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said Wednesday he's anxious to see if Snyder, who will participate in his second Rocky Mountain Revue starting Friday, has changed at all from the emotional young player of last season, the one with all kinds of athletic ability but a need to understand how to play with his teammates and help make them better.
Snyder spent the off-season in Reno and in Atlanta working with a personal coach and with NBA veterans, including Shareef Abdur-Rahim, being critiqued and trying to learn mental focus.
Whether it works on the court is yet to be seen, but Snyder says he has definitely grown up in another way as he is about to become a first-time daddy. His wife, Haley, is due to deliver their son on Aug. 16. </div>

Snyder is are starter this IMO. He can come out and score 12 points in the 1st Quarter, then doesn't score rest of game. That's why we have Giricek in.

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting shapecity:</div><div class="quote_post">I always thought Kirk Snyder was going to be a solid player in the NBA. Hopefully having a kid has forced him to mature, and he has a great appreciation for the opportunity he has being a professional ball player. Now let's see if he can put it all together and push for the starting SG spot vacated by Raja Bell.</div>

Don't hold your breath!!

After his lackluster performance last night against a bunch of scrubs, I'd send Snyder packing at the first available trade opportunity!!
