I think it's possible that Watson is having a hot shooting streak at the same time that his opportunities to shoot have increased which are inflating his numbers more than what could be expected going forward. He's definitely shooting much better than his historical numbers and ft% would...

5pts, 4reb, 1ast, 1stl at the half are good role player numbers, I'm happy. I even like the 3PF. It's like someone told Cody that you are allowed to dunk in games and it has completely changed his confidence level of doing everything else.

The only thing is I think we're going to have to sit him quite a bit for the tanks sake, and that's tough when you are playing for a contract. Maybe we can verbally agree to something?

Ace making stuff happen.

There were plenty of us who thought he would be good this year. It's pretty predictable for a young guard to struggle his first few years and typically year 3 is when they break out. I don't know if anyone thought he would be this good.

The best Jazz player of all time is pretty clearly Malone in my opinion. I would have said Stockton growing up though.

I think the Jazz have put themselves in a good position with Key, Ace, Lauri, Kessler going in to next year. We will also have cap space, a lot of young players, and draft picks to improve the team moving forward. I would have preferred to have Kessler locked up and a little less cap space...

If you trade Key, you might as well trade Lauri as well. Whoever we draft in 2026 has a very low probability of being good enough to win as many games as we would win with Key in the first two to three years. As much as I like Key and Lauri I would love to build a team around better defenders...

His versatility in playing on or off ball is the biggest reason why he's different and worth more than the other defensively limited guards that are talked about.

I've never been year impressed when I watch him. He seems like a good backup big, but not someone I would want starting for my team.

hmmm, ok. The way it went down in my head was that he was being recruited by Michigan and really wanted to go there, but then was rising up draft boards, so he went to the combine to test the waters and ultimately decided that Michigan would be the better place for him. I just can't blame a...

I guess maybe I don't know what stories you are referring to? I think NIL makes the coming back to college a complete non story, but maybe I'm missing something.

LOL, yeah from a basketball standpoint I can actually see that, although Royce was a non shooter and I think Yaxel has a decent shot, which is kind of a huge difference. Yaxel is really good at everything, but I don't know if he's NBA level good at anything. My rule of thumb is to not pick 22+...

Cashiggy is still doing videos, I think you are referring to Hoops Intellect (Keandre) and yes he has left a giant hole.

99 don't forget the NBA Cup championship game.
