The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

A surpising playoff stat:
Jalen Williams has more touches per minute than Embiid, Mitchell, Dame or SGA.

Also more touches per game than all of those guys except for Embiid.

That's not really surprising. If you told me his touch time was higher, that'd be surprising

Well on that front his numbers are higher than what Embiid, Kyrie, Tatum, Brown, Conley, Beal, KD, Herro and DLo have for instance. Beats all of them in total time of possession and average touch duration.

Its just a 5 game sample though, but it is notable increase in terms of their offense running through him. Even in the post-ASB period he lost to Giddey and SGA and had 58.4 touches, vs 73.4 now.
 
OKC is gonna go to the WCF. And they're still flush with draft picks so they're gonna be a problem for a while. Sam Presti is a basketball genius.

If you add in their bench prospects and picks, I think OKC already feels like they are bound to get to a level that is unaccessible to most teams.

So the further they go, the more other teams might panic (blowups, overpaying on upgrades etc). And the other side of it is that the more success OKC has... the more they gotta pay their guys when that day comes. Only thing to stop or even slow down OKC right now is probably cap/CBA stuff they might run into.

So I'm all for OKC going as far as possible at this point.

The cap came for Denver good and hard this year. Unless you are willing to go the full Golden State, it will get every really good team eventually.

Any preference from a Jazz standpoint on the OKC/DAL series?

Dallas has put together a pretty good team, but I'm pretty sure they have exhausted most of their resources, and so if they aren't competitive in this series, they might feel stuck and start selling.

On the other hand it would be nice to feel like OKC has some vulnerabilities with this core. The further they advance in the playoffs, the more it is going to feel like an unsurmountable task to get to their level.

OKC, but only because it increases the possibility we might get a shot at Luka once day in the distant future.
 
Another random thought after the strays Riley threw out in his presser. I think he is trying to get Jimmy to ask out... he doesn't want to extend him. They are also over the tax next year which is a no-no for them. So moving off Jimmy and using the assets to go get Donovan (with some other stuff they have) is where he will try to go. Swapping an old max star for a newer max star creates some cap flexibility and they can build around Don and Bam. Something like Herro or Rozier and Martin, Jovic and picks to Cleveland... Donny to Miami. Jimmy ends up in Philly's cap space and sends some picks.

Both times Riley went at stars a bit they ended up leaving... Bron may have already been gone. Wade was clearly pissed off and signed with the Bulls.
