Walker Kessler Should No Longer Play Until KO is Traded

True , but would you be wanting to be paying Rudy for what he is dishing up right now for the wolves , a huge 1 rebound the other night .

I don’t get why Kessler comes under such scrutiny in his rookie year , Rudy couldn’t catch the ball for his first 3 years , I guess some would say he still can’t … this young man can

I think most posters on JFC like Kessler as a prospect. He is smart, moves well, contest shots by jumping vertically, good hands, etc

I don't get your hate for Rudy btw, and using the 1reb argument or the # of blocks as an indicator of impact on defense is just wrong

I don’t hate him , he was always limited , DA saw this and moved him on

I guess you could say Rudy got a “kick” out of this thread today
 
crazy, even have a girlfriend.
I really wanna ask her what it's like to have a contrarian as a boyfriend...

GF: Hey, let's go out for dinner.

Cy: Let's not.

GF: Okay...? So.. you wanna order takeout then?

Cy: Let's not.

GF: So,.... what? You're not hungry?

Cy: Nope... *stomach growling*

GF: *rolls eyes* - "Ok.. see ya!! - *walks out & slams the door*
 
i loved kessler as a prospect at draft time, thought he'd translate well to the nba, then soured on him a bit in the pre-season and early reg season, but he's made a believer out of me again in the last few weeks. jazz just seem better when he's on the floor (no idea if +/- stats back that up) and he's getting the timing down on his shot blocking better with each game it seems.

OL you are the last person who can make girlfriend jokes on here.
 
Can we go ahead and find a way to get Kessler on the court 25 minutes a game... trade someone or cut they minutes. I need to see a bigger sample and more dev time here.
I'd like to see the Jazz try to expand his game a little bit. Make a mistake out there, miss a shot. There was a play a game or two ago where he got the ball in transition, probably like 5ish feet from the rim, one defender between him and the basket, and he passed out. He's worshipping a bit too much at the Altar of Efficiency for someone who seems to have decent on-ball coordination.

That is where hopefully struggling over these next few games comes into play and we get our priorities straight. It would be nice to get Kessler a consistent 25 minutes a game and somehow find Ochai and NAW some non garbage minutes every game. I really don't understand the thinking of Hardy benching NAW the last few games after how well he had been playing his prior few games.

We've seen how having just a straight roll man plays out. Start having him bury the mismatch under the rim and catching and finishing. He seems coordinated enough to do that. Also seems to do well being patient and finding the right angle/move when he is close enough to the basket. When catching in the 10 foot ranger or further it didn't go well.
