According to Phil Johnson, Araujo is hands down the hardest worker on the team and has busted his butt this year to try to get into the rotation. I'd pin Araujo's success on Araujo moreso than Sloan.
Walton was moreso praising the all-around team of the Jazz because they are in excellent condition, they are disceplined, smart and they play good basketball beacuse of Sloan. Last night they looked like a solid playoff team coming in and taking care of business. Nevermind that 3 of our starters were out for most, if not all of the night, the Jazz still whooped their arch-rivals and made it look easy.
And damn, I must say with guys like Araujo emerging, this Jazz team is DEEP. Scary deep. We just beat a .500 team just with our bench and one proven starter, and made it look pretty much effortless.
God, I love this team.
