What's new

Utah Jazz 2025 Preseason

Vecenie basically laughed off the idea that Ace could be ROTY a few days ago

I lost a lot of respect for Vecenie when he spent the whole first part of the college season last year dismissing Tre Johnson and then he gets drafted and has a good summer league and was saying stuff like, "I've been telling people how good Tre Johnson is, look how right I was."

I would be pretty doubtful of anyone other than Flagg winning RotY unless Flagg misses 18+ games this year.

Kon, Tre, Ace are definitely the favorites for RotY if Flagg misses 18+ games though. The other guys just don't have much opportunity. Topic, Harper, and VJ are all on teams trying to win now while Fears, Demin, and Maluach are extremely raw. Maybe CMB has an outside chance?
 
The league has gotten so long and athletic. It’s like everyone outside of 1s is 6’8” with a plus wingspan. Cody had an advantage in college, but he’s just another guy out there now. Small guards are becoming an endangered species.

Houston’s 2-4 was KD, Eason, Jabari. Edit: I got this wrong. Houston started Sheppard and Thompson in the backcourt, then subbed in Eason.
Portland is going to be similar with Camara, Grant, Avdija.

Jazz are going to be big with Ace, Lauri, Taylor.

I’m just blown away by Ace. He’s the goods.

Also, I love how the vets the Jazz brought in are happy to support our young guys.
Ya I saw Nurk pass up a really good open shot to pass to one of the young guys.
