His 3p% is pretty much back up to his career % and rising and his overall fg% is up a good 5% compared to last year. It isn’t just progress he’s made this year, but a big jump. I’ll readily admit I didn’t see it coming after last season.
I posted this in another thread earlier today:
My theory is that we would do best to end outside the bottom 8. The league wouldn't want OKC to get our pick so they get even better, especially when they have the Clippers pick too, so they'll have to let us jump and pick top 4.
Don’t really...

My question at the end wasn’t a serious question. We could finally stop the ‘for a few years Deron was better debate’ when they’ve both been Jazzmen though.
Get him here to coach Keyonte to an even higher level to finish his career here 20 years after we picked Deron over him (who retired 8 years ago!). What more could he wish for?

Lauri at 26 and no other Jazz players that I can see. A lot of dudes on that list that aren’t better than Keyonte though.
I wouldn’t say that. He’s 3rd in the league in defensive rebounding % and 4th in overall rebounding %. Almost 10 rpg in 24 minutes. There are advantages to being so big you can’t be moved. Though admittedly it does hinder overall defensive effectiveness.
To be fair, he shot over 43% from 3 last year. Still a remarkable shooting night though. Looks so funny now on Basketball Reference that he’s averaging 50ppg on over 90% from 3 for the season.
