Fingers crossed. I'm kind of ready to move on from Keyonte, especially if Walt/Collier play well in SL

This.

Keyonte had almost 0 progression from year 1 to 2 and still had 0 desire to play defense while constantly complaining for calls on turnovers.

I'm going for 20 points for Ace and either wins ROTY or gets second.

I'm going to save my vote for when it becomes clear whether Sexton, Clarkson, Collins, etc. are still on the team. The predictions here should obviously hinge on this stuff.

Give him all the shots he can handle. Like the Cody's experiment. Last thing we want is for him to stand in the corner and turn into another Jabari Smith.

I don't think we will have to worry about Ace being too passive. I hope he can keep his sky high confidence and aggressiveness with getting his own shot.
 
I would say, as a teenager, it is a successful season if he hits double figures. I am not convinced he starts from day 1 but that depends upon who else is around. And I think there will still be plenty of others competing for shots.

I will say that Kessler showed no, if not negative, progression from years 1 to 2. He showed really bad passiveness and some bad mental fortitude that I would say had consensus on him in the mud. And now we are talking about being happy if we can get him in a $100m/4 contract.

I am a huge believer in sophomore slumps and the potential for third year leaps. I'm not exactly a Keyonte believer, but still am holding out hope for how he comes in before going full sale mode on him.

I hope so. I want our players to win. I want them to progress but it starts with them. If you can't fix your gameplay, you can 100% change your attitude.... especially on the count and he hasn't done that yet.

For Walker, if he wants more than 25 million a year you trade him. The Nets are the ONLY team this year that have over 40 million in cap space. Nobody is getting a big payday this season (partly why John Collins opted-in) . We have had the worst defense in the entire league for the last 2 years and he was apart of that. Walker has looked very bad/passive.... he was also benched. What does Walker do more/better than Oscar and he would be A LOT cheaper? He probably has better hands? Oscar will give you 100% effort every game. Something Walker doesn't always do
 
Some reference points:

Player/MPG/PPG/TS%

Brandon Miller: 32.2 / 17.3 / 55.2%
Jalen Green: 31.9 / 17.3 / 54.7%
Jon Kuminga: 16.9 / 9.3 / 60.0%
Ant Edwards: 32.1 / 19.3 / 52.3%
Jayson Tatum: 30.5 / 13.9 / 58.6%
Jaylen Brown: 17.2 / 6.6 / 53.9%
Brandon Ingram: 28.8 / 9.4 / 47.5%

Maybe 16+ is a bit much. I'd imagine his playing time/role would be most similar to Miller/Green, but I don't think he will be as efficient year 1.
 
8. Tough shots gonna be tougher. hes in for a brutal reality that college defense is nowhere near NBA defenses. that and limited ball handling means it's a challenge to pair him up next to Lauri.
 
Most people really underestimate how many minutes and opportunities do the Jazz shove down the throats of their young players. Filipowski averaged 14-15 PPG in the last two months, Keyonte - 13 PPG in his first season and so on. And they had vastly inferior offensive capabilities compared to Ace, a top-5 pick in a strong draft.

The Jazz will give him an opportunity to contend for ROY, so expect something similar to the first year of Donovan, i.e. 20 inefficient PPG.

This.

Cody Williams got 21 minutes a game for the year and he was awful.
 
A downside of Ace’s role is that it becomes more difficult for him to develop the other parts of his game when he’s tasked with being the leading scorer. I actually like PHI the best for him so he could be a role player first like Tatum/Brown in BOS. That can get contentious though. We’re seeing what’s happening with Kuminga, and the Tatum/Brown situation wasn’t all roses either.
 
It depends on how we handle the roster. I dont see Ace getting to 12+ FGA if Clarkson, Sexton, Keyonte, Collins and Lauri are all here and in the rotation to the extent they have been. Those guys are not deferring to a rookie. Clarkson will still do his eternal search dribbles and shoot them floaters and flamethrower 3s.... Key will shoot his pull ups... Sexton will put the blinders on as he does quite often and Lauri trigger is hypersensitive as we all know. Collins also isnt deferring and isnt a great field vision or passing guy anyways.

If we want to free up shots for Ace we gotta move some of those guys.
