Well yeah there was the black and yellow mistake that the Jazz have moved on from. But that aside, purple and light blue (with black and white) have been part of the new rebrand since the start.

I'll be at the game. A bit sad if Ace misses, but should still be a fun watch.

The light blue is also the only new official color that hasn't been fully jersey-fied, and we know they want to start establishing that brand identity. I'm excited for it--I know that the baby blue era wasn't everyone's favorite but I liked 'em.

I don't think I or most anyone would argue that he should be ranked higher than 14 among centers--but if you split positions evenly than you'd expect a top 100 list to have the top 20 centers, more or less. It looks like you're right that centers aren't as highly represented in this list. And...

Yeah I think that's a good point. I truly don't think it's Walker's fault, but that's a reasonable conclusion for analysts to make.

The Ringer Top 100 list I'm a bit surprised Walker still isn't in the top 100. Not sure Mitchell Robinson or Jabari Smith are better right now. Lauri moved up 10 spots to #43. That feels about right. The Jazz are tied with Washington and Brooklyn for least players on the list (1), but Lauri is...

That's pretty much where I land too. The defense seems there, and he's had some good one dribble moves to cut to the basket. Still a bit worried about the finishing/shooting and inconsistency, but the fact that he worked hard to add strength and weight makes me a lot more confident that he's got...

I figured Svi starting was because of all the missing players, and giving a little vet presence at the start along with Nurkic.

I'd love to see this lineup at times for sure. Overall I come down in the KqWIN camp of wanting to spread out playmakers and finishers a bit. To me, that either means bumping Collier or Flip into the starting lineup. Probably Collier, but then we go from oversized backcourt to undersized...

03/04 for me as well

Didn't choose some of these because I think they should be expected (but we will still be bad). But if Ace and/or Clayton takes off quick then that would be the surprise contribution that wins us games.

Are we sure it's Team D advancing?

I would've said Collier before summer league (and I know it's summer league) but it just felt like Collier was slipping. I think he'll get chances but I'm not sure about him starting. That would mean Keyonte starting at PG (not ideal) and I think Brice would be the SG opening night until Ace can...

Oof rough matchup--two of the best teams IMO. Tough luck.

I think that's everyone. Should we send DMs with depth charts/writeups to @Thee Jazz Fan ?
