Agbaji, Kessler, and Simone will ride the pine so that Olynyk, Beasley, and Zeller can get PT.

I think Zeller will be riding the pine too assuming he makes the team but yeah I think you are right. Especially with someone like Wemby available in the draft I'd be much happier to throw the kids out there and take the lumps this season. As a first year coach Hardy will want to win as many games as possible but he does have a 5 year contract.

Playing the veterans over the young guys has literally 0 benefit for the franchise long term.

Bro, do you think Frank Layden is going to give the okay to wearing his number?
 
I know I will be laughed at but his hands remind me of a poor man's version of Karl Malone. That fast break with his hands, wow, that was Malone like. And the fast moving hands near the basket is pretty good. And he moves quick like Malone did...but he is just physically weak. So I think he will be playable on the defense as a drop big and he has hints of really special hands, running the floor and post work on the offense that could make him a really good starter on offense.

I think if he gets a lot of time, he may get 5th place in rookie of the year voting because I think the Jazz will rely on him heavily. Honestly, he should start at the center spot if we want to win games, but yeah, bring him off the bench and give him lots of time.

This kid has the potential to be pretty good. I think Andrew Bogut is a very real comparison for him on both ends of the court.

Ooh, yes Bogut. But he seems quicker up the floor and damn those hands are special for a rookie. If they get better, which they will, he is really good.
 
Light on his feet for his size. Seems to know how to play basketball which is great. Seems to have great hands catching in traffic... big AF. I had been scarred by Bradley and Doke (who has been productive at times but can't stay healthy)... my hopes were low on Walker... Think he becomes the starter at some point this season if he keeps improving. Not sure he has amazing upside but like a Zubac/Hartenstein/Poeltl type has some value.
