Okay, early predictions --
** Bolmaro goes off for 15 pts and 6 asts on 3/5 3pt shooting.
** Fontecchio, Beasley, Conley, Clarkson and Nickeil each make at least two 3s.
** Kessler looks like he's never played at NBA speed before.
** Vanderbilt guards Siakam and everyone gets excited.

I hope the Jazz lose more games than the Hornets. It might be close.
Also, watching this Celtics/Hornets game, it's obvious that the modern game has become spread-floor, drive-and-kick. Jazz will probably try to do this with Olynyk at the 5. See which of our guards/wings are able to beat their defender and make a play.

This Jazz roster has shown exactly no previous aptitude for driving to the rim. If that's the game, we are immensely screwed.

I dreamt last night that the Jazz narrowly lost in an extremely high scoring affair with Kessler being the guy who most impressed.
I'll posit up front that I am not a prophet. I also feel like I couldn't actually pick Kessler out of a five man lineup even if 3 of the guys were 6'2".

I love the start of a new season. No idea what is going to happen here, but I'm extremely excited. Go Jazz!

I’m pretty excited to see how this young Jazz team plays. If Hardy and his coaching staff are able to fire them up to play real hard defense, they could surprise because they have good offensive skill. A lot of intriguing players to watch. For me Markkanen and Sexton especially. So far in his career Markkanen has never been assigned a role where he can fully utilize his versatile skillset. I hope this changes with the Jazz. Give him the keys to run with the ball. Sexton is an explosive spark plug. Will be interesting to see if he can learn a new skill here - how to pass the ball and be a playmaker. Not sure if he can, but we’ll see – he’s still young. I’m also glad Mike Conley is still with the Jazz. I hope he stays. He’ll make a difference on the court and in the locker room. He’ll teach the young guys how to play a team game.
That was supposed to be posted in the Draft thread. I deleted it here.
