Best news since the draft.

Its fine AT THIS POINT. I dont think its fine in the long run, but I also dont think we have great passing/playmaking options. Collier is better in that regard but he doesnt have gravity like WCJ. Besides if I'm Jazz I wanna push more passing and playmaking out WCJ, Ace and Lauri as I think...

We have had the need to clean house on the score first one way combo guard side of our roster for a while. No way you deny Sexton his minutes if you keep him. Now we got almost 30 mpg and a starter role to give. I think the key question is why we actually did this deal instead of just cutting...

Im not too worried about high level passers yet. Hardys system emphasizes on the simple read and pass along with ball rotation so WCJ can initiate the offense in that system just fine. I mean JC and Sexton have done it.

Im surprised no one has the correct answer thus far which is obviously: WCJ Ace Lauri Hendricks Kessler Or then its in the eye of the beholder or smth.

I agree 100%. Our lead guard situation has been horrible, and our 2 guards havent exactly been versatile either. THT was probably the most versatile of the bunch we've had but his efficiency and shot selection were just bad.

People are thinking this based on "Ace skill and potential", and forgetting team and context. If you believe Clarkson is suddenly gonna turn into a guy who starts deferring to rookies you arent thinking straight. Cody and Hendricks have gotten like 5-6 FGA without even having to compete for...

It depends on how we handle the roster. I dont see Ace getting to 12+ FGA if Clarkson, Sexton, Keyonte, Collins and Lauri are all here and in the rotation to the extent they have been. Those guys are not deferring to a rookie. Clarkson will still do his eternal search dribbles and shoot them...

Also who the f is that Scoot B Robinson guy? Anyone got a clue how he iw actually connected to Ace or Omar?

Do we actually know Omar is the source of this? Givony and Sidery have been clickbaiting on this subject a lot, but are they somehow connected to Omar? I dont think so. Feels like ESPN buållshit drama. Utah hate is easy to sell and they got their clicks. Omar and GSE wanted Ace to land in a...

Ace has posted Jazz gear pics and shared Jazz hype videos on his IG reel since yesterday.. including a pic of him in a Jazz cap where his caption praises God. This whole drama was always coming as a sideshow if we draft him. Its just the predraft decission to not work out and the preferred...

ESPN keeps referring to Omar as Aces agent. Witlieb said his agent is Daniel Green and they referred to Omar as Aces manager.

That was the interview I referred to and its on YT (Bailey discussion starts around 13:30): View: https://youtu.be/pitH6zyt31o?si=5Z3G86jKesSzQ7Ao

Andrew Witlieb, the President of GSE Worldwide said in an interview yesterday that Ace is thrilled to come to Utah and it was one of the best spots for him basketballwise. GSE Worldwide is the talent agency that Ace and Omar Cooper hired. Witlieb said Ace and Omar primary motivation was to get...

In order to be able to do that, Ace could not play professional basketball anywhere for the next year. Only that way he can re-enter the draft again after a holdout. If he signs a contract to play professionally anywhere, we will retain his NBA rights. His stock would plummet for not playing...

Lost in the sauce in a league far inferior to the NBA.

I dont know how to do this without pissing on people's cereals here, but a good 3&D guy must be first and foremost active. In addition to shooting well and holding up 1on1 a good 3&D guy actively repositions off the ball on offense, plays smart proactive help defense, gets rebounds. Being a...

Robert Williams III. He was drafted by the Celtics and overslept his own introductory press conference call and also missed his flight to Boston the same day. Twitter gave him that nickname, and it stuck.

Obviously WCJ was their guy and in a different tier than those two, or they never trade up.

So if Ace turns into the best possible version of himself... then we have to start shifting our mindset from asset accumulation and value extraction towards building up. If we get lucky and land another blue chip prospect in the next draft then we are definitely entering the zone where the sense...
