I could definitely see Pistons being buyers at the deadline, but I wonder if Collins just clogs up their rotation more. Would Sexton be the better fit for the same return?

While I don't think "wait and see" is always the best strategy, in the OP's conditions I think that's what I would do. Basically, I'd want the Jazz to stay out of the 8-14 range (since the pick is protected to 8). So if we start out with a losing record, start making the adjustments needed to...

I think it shows top 5 picks are usually important for a finals team. Sometimes that means you're picking a bona fide superstar for your team. Sometimes that means you're getting that bona fide superstar in free agency. And sometimes that means you're getting a solid contributor to pair with a...

I wasn't trying to make a statement one way or the other. Just thought it was a good question and thought I'd lay out the data.

Let's take a look. In this list, I'm only looking at players that were actually important to their teams. Not counting ring-hunting vets on the bench or whatever. You can argue some of these picks if you want, but the only player that would change the final percentage is Bogut on the Warriors...

I wouldn't mind a system similar to the current one, except that A) when you don't win the lottery (for the first 3-4 picks like current system) you bring your ping pong balls to future drafts, until you finally cash out. B) you can not "win" the lottery in back to back years. I think this...

Yeah in this forum I'm just a long time lurker mostly, but I'm a tank supporter who's watched pretty much every game. I still check on posts and read Andy Larsen's triple teams after every game. I know it's going to be slower and a little less exciting to talk about.

Gobert is still better, but Kessler does seem to have closed the gap quite a bit this season.

Some were and some weren't. <shrugs>

I did.

Uh well that's not what I was responding to. I was responding to someone saying he looks lost and out of place. And responding to your point, he made multiple drives into the lane this game that ended up as either buckets for him or other Jazz players. He's definitely playing passively, but I...

What? Cody does not look lost and out of place, other than a couple miscues with the 24 sec clock. He cuts well, spaces well, closes on shooters, and manages screens well.

My guess is that Edey will be a player that does really well when there's no game plan against him. I feel like a playoff series will be tough for him. Agreed that it will be fun to watch.

This is the closest thing I could find. View: https://twitter.com/tomhaberstroh/status/1757751279441355115 I'm not paying for a random subscription to a writer I don't know. So I wouldn't take the stats as infallible, especially without knowing what the average number of star DNP is.

Every indication so far is that the Jazz will be committing to our younger players, from media interviews to preseason lineups and minutes so far. As long as that's the case, I'm okay with just seeing where the season takes us. There's still the Western conference effect where we really only...

Surprised to see a lot of Collier negativity when I came away pretty impressed with some sequences. He had one really impressive tough finish. He's now had 2 games where he got multiple steals (at least from what I remember watching). And in the first half when the offense was really stagnant he...

Andy Larsen confirmed on Reddit that he has been attending practices at least

That's still a very porous defense from the guard position, and we know how much that can screw up a defense from the Rudy years. That being said, those teams were much better defensively during the regular season when teams did less game planning.

Wasn't expecting another signing after the extension. Thoughts? View: https://x.com/wojespn/status/1821996295688745085

I'm torn because I really like watching Kessler and especially Sexton play, but I think they move the needle the most outside of Lauri. I feel like the Hawks could be open to a swap of Capela + 2 first rounders for Sexton and Kessler.
