I would start Harkless at the 3

Harkless was the only Jazz player with a + in the box score. He is a tough gritty dude.

He wasn't a lottery pick and it's his second year....

We stayed close in a game against OKC and people were convinced we were a 40 win team again lol.

Damn, that fragrant 2 on Eubanks is a disgrace.

I missed the game but I'm very curious what this is. Is that an especially stinky fart on the court?

 

[Tremendous Upside]

This team is a clown show. Unskilled goons, trigger happy 9th men, entitled former HS "stars" playing no defense and I don't know WTH Markkanen is right now.

Add a #1 pick and this group is still going absolutely nowhere. The future is pretty ****ing bleak.

I chalk this game mostly up to missed shots. Played well in the first half. Just hard to play good defense when you cant hit anything.

Keyonte's bad 3pt shooting nights dont really bother me. I 100% believe he's going to figure the 3pt shooting out and be a dangerous shooter, but the paint finishing is what I'm not sure on.

Harkless continues to be a beast and he's honestly one of the players I'm higher on moving forward. I think he can our Keon Ellis. When was the last time the Jazz had an elite steals player? Those two years of Rubio? Before that Ronnie Brewer/AK/Stockton? It's always seemed like the Jazz have been near the bottom when it comes to players who really excel at getting steals. The dude has a 2.1 DBPM so far, and that's special considering he's a rookie (yes, an old rookie, but a rookie nonetheless)

Before the play there was a little mixup with Morant/Keyonte that Eubanks was involved in and either the next play, or a play or two after, he charged Edey in a non-basketball play with his shoulder. Edey didnt move at all because he's massive, but it was definitely a full force shoulder charge. I think it was the right call personally, but it looked soft considering Edey didnt even move from the impact.

Sexton will be traded soon, won't last long

I feel like I have heard this a lot in the past couple years.

40 win team when playing all your dudes and trying to win is different than a team consistently beating the best teams in the league on the road while not playing your best players and not trying to win imo.

Like I don't know how good this team would be if we were really trying to win but I wouldn't expect many wins against the very best teams in the league no matter what with this roster. I would assume that most of our wins would come from teams less good than the Grizzlies.
