    I understand that concern and he'll have to prove it. I'm not saying he's Steph Curry - nobody will ever be Steph Curry - but his combine measurements were damn near identical. And I would argue that at the college level, his ability to create space / get his shot off was even better than his...

    I think a "great shooting game manager" is exactly who he is. I wouldn't worry about the shooting. His stroke is pure butter.

    If he checks out - whatever. He's not the long-term answer at PG anyways. At that point he has to decide to be a pro, lock in, and go earn a second contract somewhere if it's not in Utah. No bias against him. I'm a USC alum and was pumped as hell when he came in. But he was the #1 prospect in...

    I think it's a near lock at this point. Infinitely better shooter and the team plays better with him on the floor.

    I bet he's the 11th or 12th guy. 10-man rotation feels pretty set barring any more moves.

    If Key’s on the roster come October he’ll 100% get his 30 minutes. They’ll have different roles. Collier is the one who should be worried.

    Other than being a bulldog defensively, I'm not sure what else we can realistically ask him to do. He's not a playmaker, doesn't have great length, isn't a vertical athlete, doesn't get to the line in real games, etc. SL isn't going to help him just morph physically. IMO he's a deadeye...

    Can't imagine it's "worthless" otherwise why even have it? At minimum it's a good glimpse of who you have coming into camp + a chance for rookies to dip their toes into the NBA game. Don't see how it's doing anything for a 3rd-year guy like Sensabaugh, though.

    Brice shouldn't play anymore. He's shown enough. Clearly a heavy rotational guy at minimum. Probably a starter. I'm sure Ace will be a heavy focus in Vegas. Not to say we'll "run the offense through him" - he's not that type - but we'll run more stuff for him.

    Ace Bailey ROY watch

    Pre-SL my expectation was he'd be in and out of the rotation given how raw he is. But he clearly has stuff that we're gonna want to put on the floor. And given that we're not trying to win, his shortfalls shouldn't be enough to keep him off the floor. Not to mention we don't really have any...

    Cut Walt loose tonight and tell him to get his.

    Jazz trade John collins

    And I think we’ll be tanking more “organically” this year. Last year’s team was bad but should have won more sans our shameless vet benching for which we received a $100K slap on the wrist. This team will be young, fun, play their balls off and still lose 60+ games. Not that I think the...

    NBA Summer League Wild Overreaction Thread

    Yeah. Even if he had a tight handle the KD comparison would still be a stretch. 18 year old KD at Texas is still the best NBA prospect I’ve ever seen (never saw HS LeBron and wasn’t old enough to judge anyways). KD was 26 and 11 on 50/40/80 (ish) shooting and was the conference DPOY to boot...

    B Miller always looked a bit bigger / longer to me (not sure about that). Ace looks twitchier / quicker off the ground. But pretty damn close. This is prob a needless post tbh.

    Harkless will never be a legit NBA’er but I fully support him on the squad. Perfect end of the bench tank commander. Hope his grit rubs off on the squad. Clayton was a stat sheet disaster but he looks like our most poised PG and best shooter on Day 1. Backcourt rotation will be interesting. I...

    Collier clearly seems spooked by the logjam at PG. Ugly, ugly game. Aside from that this team is damn fun to watch. Crazy we might have 3 starters in the floor tonight. Ace’s talent just pops off the screen. He’s basically a young stallion who hasn’t been broken yet but still productive. In...
