I don't get this. IMO, as an NBA player Key is not nearly at the stage where he should be thinking about fine-tuning stuff like "being more aggressive". He has a LOT to learn about the very basics of the pro game and just being a serviceable ball handler and facilitator. The Jazz want him to run when he can't even crawl properly yet.

I mean, his defense is bottom-of-the-barrel horrible. Shouldn't fixing that be a lot higher on the priorities list?

Wishful thinking. He's gotta be the worst player in the NBA for the amount of minutes he plays.
