It doesn't look like Hendricks is on a minutes restriction. I'd probably start Ace at the 2, Lauri at the 3 and Hendricks at the 4 for a while.

Not that it matters, but I would categorize Lauri as the 4

Ace the real deal

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Ace Mafuggin Bailey!

After the gut punch of getting the 5 pick,, having Ace fall was just amazing. . .

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Ace can pass!

 

[KqWIN]

Ace has been great tonight

 

[Shad]

Juzang is significantly more enjoyable to watch over Svi. I guess we needed someone to make sure we lose some games

 

[framer]

We are starting Sensabaugh next game, right?

Ace is going to take his lumps but he doesn't play like somebody who just turned 19.

Also as was mentioned above, it seems clear (and as a collier apologist, this is hard for me) the right starting lineup is key, ace, hendricks, lauri and kessler. it has a ton of length and shooting, and you have the luxury of bringing sensabaugh off the bench for scoring punch.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Cody's had a couple of nice blow-by drives on the baseline tonight, but didn't get an angle to finish.

Hilarious the rockets are playing all their players and cant blow up the apparent last place Jazz in the West. Rockets dont look that great

Not saying the FO ever considered it, but there were people who thought we should give away Lauri, take on Paul George's albatross, all so we could get... Ace.

Best possible outcome for ending up with the worst possible outcome

I think they'll be pretty elite this season

Walt Clayton takeover of the starting job starts today

Yeah, about that... Clayton did not look like a point guard: unable to get any separation from his defender on the perimeter, zero penetration... His preferred move so far was to throw it in at the feet of our bigs in the paint.

I don't think that Collier's place in the rotation is in any danger at the moment. Keyonte played better but he still looks like a SG asked to played the point.

If we just glued Svi to the bench we would be winning this game.

Sengun looks like what I imagine Drake’s secret lover looks like.

yeah, they are going to be a tough out. they are loaded.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Peterson
Brice
Ace
Taylor
Kessler

 

[jazznik]

Ace is often out of position on offense and is a complete black hole... but with his athleticism and skill his potential is obvious. What I did not like is that he was a lazy and uninterested defender today.
