Potential Trade Targets

The trade deadline is 10 days away. I think Olynyk has the highest chance of getting traded with Clarkson being a close second.

We have a defender who doesn’t play who we drafted at 9th overall.

A "defender"...?

Look, personally I think Keyonte shouldn't be in the rotation right now, but that doesn't mean Hendricks is some savior either. He's in the G-League for a reason, and that reason is that he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating any of the veterans out for minutes.

I get it's natural to squint hard when a rookie does some stuff in NBA garbage time, but the road from that to actually contributing to wins is a LONG one.

Did you miss the minutes he had earlier in the year? Non-garbage minutes and he was getting a ton of stocks. Doesn’t happen on accident.

Why is Keyonte playing then?

Because we had THT, Clarkson, and Sexton to start the season that couldn't look up, run an offense, and move the ball. He could and did.

Playing him is partially for the future but it's also allowed the Jazz to bench these guys and force them to actually play the right way. You can still see it used with Sexton when he reverts back to head down scoring no matter what mentality. He is inconsistent on offense but consistently moves the ball and gets it in other guys hands and plays team ball. Those other guys sometimes do that but usually not. They might be scoring well and even getting assists but the ball tends to stick.

This is one of the main reasons for the turn around this year.

Trying to find logic in Keyonte getting rotation minutes is a fool's errand. He's literally been one of the worst NBA players getting steady burn.
