Game Thread Utah Jazz vs New Zealand Breakers - Oct 4th 7:00 PM (MT) (Preseason)

Added to Calendar: 10-04-24

Yeah....Juzang is a lot better than these rookies/sophs even if he's not ahead of them in the rotation. Think that NG deal will be great for us going forward.
 
Collier does a lot of dumb things but I'm excited for his playmaking once he's a bit more developed.
 
I bet Mills plays ahead of Collier. He seems not ready

IMO, they should just stagger Sexton/Key at PG and put Juzang into the rotation. Looks like he's earned it. Collier should probably be in the GLeague to mature. I'm guessing Mills gets those minutes to begin with though.
 
Brice the lead ballhandler is just cringe....Don't think that part of his game is gonna ever materialize.
 
- It will be interesting to see who comes out as the 5th guard between Juzang and Brice.
- it's disappointing that Kessler doesn't look significantly better than Eubanks.

- Excited to see if Cody's defense continues to look good against NBA players.

- I think we could look pretty rough in our non Lauri minutes.

IMO, a takeaway is that Juzang is better than a lot of these youngins, but he probably won't be getting time over them anyways. That feels like too much to take away from a preseason game, but he was already a lot better than last season. I know Hardy likes to talk about "no free minutes" but the reality is that he's given a lot of free minutes in the past and it seems as though free minutes will be given from game one.

Kessler is just such a bore to watch. Dude is too massive to make everything contested a finesse finish. Also sad to see him come out and brick 4 FTs

Collier just looks to me like a player who dominated in HS simply because he had the strong body of a grown man among the boys. All of his skills are built along utilizing his physical advantage over weaker players but there are few weak players in the NBA. So far he has been showing very few NBA-level skills and, honestly, he dos not seem to be a smart player.

I know it's early but I am a bit disappointed in him.
