Added to Calendar: 07-10-23

George looks so special. I can't wait to see what he looks like playing a 2 man game with Lauri in the pick and roll.
 
My take was that Keyonte and Juzang get to share the game ball. Midway through the third quarter this looked like a loss. Then suddenly it was like the Jazz found another gear. Potter led both teams in rebounding and he tied for the team lead in assists. I think Hauser is not at NBA level. Keyshawn Justice played solidly and perhaps gets a training camp invite. Based on tonight I wonder if a team might try to sign Juzang to a guaranteed contract? I thought Luka did fine playing with the knee bone bruise. We are undefeated in Vegas biches!!!!
 
I think Juzang will be a very good overseas player. Unfortunately, I don’t think he stands out enough areas to stick it as fringe player in the NBA but he could be a high level player at a lower level of competition.

I dunno about that, I think he’s a better shooter than he showed late last year. I think the question is if he can defend at all, but I don’t think a George Niang esque career isn’t out of the question for him
 
It's hard to get over how weird Miller's shot form is. I feel like he's going to draw a lot of 3pt shot fouls if he ever becomes known as someone you have to close out on. He has his feet really close together and in on his shot then he scissors them pretty sharply. Most players have an even sway forward.
 
Not JazzAvenues quality, but here’s some fun Wolves Quotes. . .

“To think, we traded Keyonte George and Walker Kessler for Rudy Gobert. What were we thinking?!”

“Keyonte George is good. Not sure if he’ll develop into a starting point or a scorer off the bench, but he looks good.”

“Kessler/George is a nice start for Utah on the return for Rudy (along with 3 more FRPs from us and the Lakers pick they got for our spare parts).”

“Don't forget they also got Talen Horton-Tucker for Beverly and absorbed Collins with the cap space they opened up getting off of Gobert's contract.“

“Kessler is the one that really hurts though.
That and having to wait another 6 years to see how the rest of the picks play out.”

“That trade is just pain.”

“Who is better, Paul George or Keyonte George?”

“We’re all gonna hear about how Keyonte’ George beat the team that should have drafted him.”

“Getting Rick Fox vibes from Juzang.”

“NAW at the game repping Tupac. I'd love to hear what he and Finchy are talking about....”

“Finchy: Can you shut down Keyonte’?
NAW: Yeah boss.
Finchy: Good. Because none of these motherf@ck@rs can.”

“Please someone find Keyonte George.”

“Hurts. He was our pick. He don't suck.”

Great work… we need to wake @JazzAvenues up cuz we about to make a run on this summer league title.
 
Not ready to hand him the starting PG keys right out of the gate (yet). He'll struggle defensively and is going to get bodied around, Will need to get stronger over the years.

But this kid has it. Starter or not, he's going to play right away, and is probably a starter by the second half of the season barring a significant upgrade at the PG spot.

I could see his rookie season having a DM-esque arc. 1-2 months of spot/rotational playing time as he works his way into a potential starting PG spot.
