Sure buddy. That is why we enjoyed 4 months of Rudy last year.

And who was the young deserving player he passed in the rotation?

It was a dumb take based on last games minute distribution alone. I mean if a rookie guard gets more minutes in game 3 than any of the vets...

Plus Keyonte didnt even play garbage time.

It pissed me off watching Rudy play. But he had one of the highest +/- on the team, which tells me he was doing stuff I never noticed that Hardy did.

Ochai and Kessler got plenty of time last year in comparison to all rookies in their class, especially after they became acclimatized to the league.

It also pissed me off when people said "Sloan never plays rookies!" Despite the fact it was demonstrably untrue. That is why I said it was a mindless take. Not just from you but from Jazz fans in general.

I mean you saw Hardy hard bench THT and put Keyonte in. THT never came back.
 
Man just took a look at Basketball Reference to see our early season individual stats. HOLY COW... the guards have been atrocious outside of Keyonte. We should have won zero games based on those numbers. We have 4 rotation guards shooting under 38% EFG... that is like last in the league bad... then JC is at 45% to top it off.

Not sure anyone gonna want to trade for one of these "flippable" guys.

Most NBA teams wouldn't consider any part of our guard rotation even acceptable for their bench units. And by far the best and most valuable is the 19 year old rookie who hasn't logged a full hour on an NBA court yet.

The people expecting linear improvement from the team overall from last year are in for a rude awakening.

That's the problem. You can't "showcase" guys when they're playing like this. The more PT they get, the harder it is to find takers. That's what nuked THT's market in the 2nd half of last season. He got a bright green light, and all it did was illuminate his warts.

The performance has been horrid, and I can't even blame it on poor spacing. The real reason the paint is clogged is because these guys have their heads down and can't beat their man off the dribble. They are not driving into a clogged toilet, they are the one's creating the clogged toilet. I actually think this team is really well setup for Sexton, Dunn, and THT to succeed. They're not going to get better teammates while also getting to be ball dominant. They just freaking stink!

Lauri + Offensive rebounding will keep this offense afloat, but the guards have been straight trash and it's horrible to watch. I love Key....the 19 year old rookie coming into the league with "questionable shot selection" should not be the most mature guard on the team that **** is embarrassing.
 
Average guard play with our frontcourt players is a play-in team with a lot of room to improve and be even better than that quickly.

We are a long ways from average guard play.
