How many times will Boler and Thrurl refer to Ace Bailey being young this year?

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

25 points in the first game is great.

If your scouting report focuses on crowding Hendricks, the Jazz are in a pretty good place.

who said "focused on"? it's a simple thing to make your players aware - could be the last thing on the report.

Ace Jokic passing out of a double team

Day 1 WCJ ain't it, but we will see where he is at the end of preseason.

Or Ace having a good last name.

Very good outlet pass from Ace to Brice to break the double team.

the offense has looked clunky with wcj at point. he's just not much of a passer right now. he has good good change of pace, can get by people, can get his shot off (hopefully they will start dropping), but as a passer, he's just not there.

Yeah, there's not many guys on this roster that can both pass and score... It's basically just Filipowski, lol.

Collier, Nurkic, and SloMo need a lot of minutes because they're the only other guys who can pass that well, but they're all non-scoring threats so that's rough too.

Key was the only guy on the team who didn't have a negative +/-. he was even at 0

Key is a good passer and we know he can score. 9 assists with 0 turnovers tonight. averaged 6 assists last year despite playing off the ball a lot. we won't mistake him for jokic or lebron out there, but he's a solid passer.

So what is he exactly much of right now? He did not look much of a defender, shooter or finisher at the rim either.
