Utah Jazz 2025 Preseason

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The Jazz will do everything in their power to put Ace in the contention for ROY. It would make him happy and create something for the fans to care about this season.

I really like the way the Jazz used Ace. They featured him, played to his strengths and let him get his in the flow of the game. Jazz were very lucky to get Ace at #5.

Brice has made strides with his athleticism. He didn't used to turn the corner and attack the rim like this...

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."

My "overreaction" from one game is that you've got to move Hendricks in front of the vets right away. And I would play the funky super sized lineups over sitting him and/or sending him to the G.

Cody looking like he'll be in the G.

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.

Locke said it well on his pod today, this should be the most excited/hopeful we are as Jazz fans since the Gobert trade.

I remember watching Paul George as a rookie. Ace might actually be a bit smoother, as well as being younger.

This Flagg vs. Ace matchup next week could be a thing.

Ya I saw Nurk pass up a really good open shot to pass to one of the young guys.
