Jazz vs. Wizards are interesting as two young teams. They've been our rivals in the draft. That rivalry continues this year. Both teams have interesting talent. Now it's a question of who gets the superstar this year. Keyonte/Collier/Clayton Jr. vs. Bub Carrington Ace Bailey vs. Tre Johnson...

Part of the question is who's healthy. Lauri and Walker start if they're healthy, obviously. Taylor might start because he defends and he's relatively low-usage next to Lauri and Ace. Keyonte has been starting all preseason, so that likely continues.

I think what the Jazz want is to bring in a big guard or wing who initiates, which then makes either Keyonte or WCJ more of an off-ball player and secondary playmaker. Obviously, Darryn Peterson would be amazing.

Keyonte doesn't often beat people off the dribble and get into the paint. He doesn't put pressure on the rim or collapse the defense. His shooting when he's on the ball also hasn't been consistent enough to draw defenders out. So in that sense, he isn't an 'advantage creator.' I don't consider...

I think WCJ is a bit more natural as a point guard than Keyonte. He makes decisions a bit quicker and is looking to attack more consistently. I still see Keyonte as a combo-guard, like a Spencer Dinwiddie, Reggie Jackson and the like. Keyonte *can* play point guard, but it's not ideal for a...

Ace is pretty likely to lead the rookie class in scoring. It should be him or Tre Johnson.

I think Brice is being a bit over-featured during preseason with Lauri and Flip out of the lineup. I think he's probably an 18 ppg guy, playing as a 6th man when we have a full team. He's at 25 ppg in these first two games.

Cody played good defense against Jones-Garcia on that next-to-last possession.

Not Brice's best moment there.

Carter Bryant is a fairly disruptive defender. I thought he was a better shooter than this though.

He got isolated on Biyombo and had an open look. Get used to seeing that.

Jazz subbed in Cody for Brice on that last play. Defense-for-offense substitution.

What do you think on this ATO? Bailey from mid-range? Add an option to dump off to Hendricks in the post...
