right and he could still explode like that while being significantly overweight. kinda crazy. iirc, he lost about 30 lbs from just prior to the start of his freshman season, to when draft workouts started in may. he lost a lot of it over the course of the season and by the time draft...

the entire video is fun, but start at about the 52 second mark. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIJVTq0u31M not his off-hand, injuring somebody means nothing, lifts off in traffic outside the restricted area. this is just monster stuff key literally did at a YOUNGER stage of...

Watching Louisville, Cy makes a good point about Mikel Brown. Same archetype, similar player to Key. And Key is getting to a point where we may be saying just about any prospect would be lucky to reach Key’s level. He’s not the guy for the jazz. Jazz need to swing for another long...

to that point, watching Amen the other day, i had the thought that as good as he is and he is damn good, Key, simply due to his ability to score from everywhere on the floor with the ball in his hands + his passing/playmaking he might ultimately be better than Amen if Amen never figures out the...

my gut says he's probably not. he doesn't look big enough, quick enough, skilled enough or athletic enough to make it if he can't shoot say 37%+ from three. his rookie season, on his biggest sample, he shot 38% which is encouraging. if he can get back to that, maybe he'll make it. but...

pretty much exactly what i said, tbh.

i hate to go there, but like in college that simply isn't is role. i mean, the mfer runs to the corner and stands there on every offensive set. he's not going to have high assist numbers, but he can clearly pass the basketball. in fact, it would be very interesting to know the percentage...

is it possible Ace went from a guy everybody said can't pass prior to the draft and his place on the jazz, to okay he can pass a little, to maybe he's adequate, to possibly a plus passer in the NBA?

the little two man game he ran with nurk on that one possession (i think anybody who watched the game will know the possession i'm referring to) looked like he'd been doing it for the last 10 years with nurk.

so key's dunk.

that three by Ace in KD's face is one of the shots of the year. the ability to do that is why you draft him in the top 5.

is that a theory or was that something that was reported?

it was that you said "depend on" him to create shots" really the only guys this team depends on to create shots are key and lauri - the two leaders of the team. everybody else (including Ace) either just picks their spots or relies on other dudes to set them up. and yeah, he wasn't drafted...

seems normal for a kid who just turned 19 to not be ready to lead an NBA team. to need teammates to set him up. dunno.

Okay, Cameron Carr. Sheesh. 3-3 from three including one from about 27 ft and another from about 35 feet - with a hand in his face on each one. singlehandedly keeping baylor in the game.
