    Probably a little of both at this point, would be my guess. Initially, he was being held out from contact to make sure that the incision from his ablation procedure had healed completely. It's been about 10 days since the surgery, so in my totally unqualified medical opinion, it would seem to me that there's little risk associated with that, but Nate probably wants him to get a few regular practices in before putting him in a game situation.

    Definitely stoked to watch the game tonight. Thanks to the lockout, this seems more like our regular season home opener, not a meaningless preseason game with a bunch of scrubs fighting for the 14th and 15th roster spot sucking up all the PT.

    I actually think that Utah's youth is pretty good: Favors, Kanter...good young big men with a lot of potential, Alec Burks is intriguing, Heyward is better than Babbit is (and probably ever will be)....CJ Miles is only 24? I would say he is equal to Batum to date....

    Future looks good in UTA, much better than it does in POR...Who are our young building pieces? Chris Johnson? Elliot Williams? Nolan Smith? lol....

    Seriously, Kevin O'Conner would have been a good GM for POR to pickup...rebuilding without completely tearing it all down....They may end up with a better record than POR this year....

    Maybe Favors developes, or maybe he's a slightly worse Zbo. Kanter has Nicohlas Tskistvili bust potential. I mean yes they could be solid building blocks but both are massively unknowns. Neither one has top flight allstar potential. I wouldn't consider that roster anything close to a model of rebuilding.
