The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

From a Jazz point of view is Keyonte big enough for this style of basketball?

Keyonte is as big as Jrue. He'll need to boogie a bit to get past Jrue though.

To my memory jrue is 6’5” with a significantly plus wingspan. I haven’t seen official measurements for Keyonte. To my eyes Keyonte is 6’4” with an average wingspan. Also Jrue has 20+ pounds on Keyonte.

Does anyone have an official measurement for Keyonte?

Jrue: 6-3.25 (w/out shoes), 6-7 wingspan (https://craftednba.com/player-traits/length). Nothing all that spectacular.

Keyonte: 6-4 and 6-6. (same website). I doubt these measurements are official though, unlike Jrue's. I've always thought as him as about 6-4 with shoes. Until proven otherwise, I'm thinking he's slightly shorter or at best the same height as Jrue.

Derrick White is another -- 6'4" / 190 lbs.

I think that sounds about right on Key.

Jrue is build like a brick *****ouse though. Key is light.

Remember that he lost a ton of weight before the season on his own diet program. I am interested to see what two years on an NBA fitness regimen does for him. I get the impression he's an above average workout warrior.

The Celtics are often doubling Luka up high as well, but they’re doing a better job stopping Kyrie.

I remember it totally differently. I cant remember almost any blitzes, collapses or traps on Luka, up high or inside. They essentially let Luka and Kyrie create their own shots while shutting down their passing by staying home on everyone else.

Even after Luka got hot and the Mavs closed the gap in the 2nd half, they didnt seem to switch that approach.

This is true… I just doubt he’ll ever get as strong as Jrue. Dudes a tank.

Jazz have a guy built like a tank but hardy dont like him. He wrecks everything in his path.

I think this is the best way to defend the Mavs. Though Luka and Kyrie are so good it often doesn't matter what you do.

I think the Mavs win today

If Celtics continue to play 1on1 I think Luka and Kyrie are gonna eventually exploit that and Cs are gonna have to change their approach.

I mean Luka almost singlehandedly closed the 29 point gap last game (got it down to 8), but had he gone for his own shot all along the gap may have not been there at all.

Tatum is the wild card though. He has been close to trash on offense this postseason.. but if he wakes up it may be too much for the Mavs.
