Added to Calendar: 04-13-21

Thomas has looked rough. Maybe an off-season with Utah's training staff can elevate him. He just looks extremely rushed atm. Once he settles down and figures out where he's getting his shots he can get back to elite shooting

Brantley is cool because he's our only young bench guy who is somewhat assertive other than Thomas. Forrest/Oni/Morgan are all really passive players who mostly seem like they are trying not to make mistakes

Man, Donovan is really, really bad on defense. I made a point to just watch him on the defensive end this game and he just cannot stay in front of anybody. I don’t know if the analytics back this up, but it seemed like most of Dort’s scoring came when Donovan was guarding him. I’ll give a little bit of a pass for fatigue, but I don’t think it was unique to this game. I need to go back and watch clips of him as a rookie to see if it ever actually looked better.

Brantley looked good. It was fun seeing someone athletic crash the boards for the Jazz for a change.

He picks his spots. Give him a pass last night. Dude has been carrying a heavy load on the back end of a a back to back. He's been mostly better on that end.

One guy I have noticed much more is Mike. He's being so much more disruptive and getting his hands on a ton of balls. I think that is what we need from DM because he won't ever be a lockdown defender... I'm not sure there are many anymore.

Thomas shot doesn't even look pretty right now... seems really flat for such a good shooter who is also a small guy. He's obviously better than this but I have no idea why we felt a need to burn a pick for another small guard.

Brantley has been more controlled but isn't afraid to make a mistake... hopefully Quin has patience rather than punishing him when he has some screw ups.

Because Quin's offense thrives with guys who can hit the three, and not guys like Craig who can't hit the three.
 
All 5 starters in double figures last night

While not an elite shooter Craig can still have the three ball and his perimeter defense was something we badly needed. Not only do we not get him but one of our top contenders does get him and he has immediately made an impact.
 
The folks around here hoping to get rid of Niang might get their wish.

I figure The Jazz would re-up him on a modest deal - maybe a slight raise at 2 years and an option. My guess they lose him as a UFA this summer.

Nah... he's a Jazz lifer. They will cut the budget somewhere but I think Niang stays put. I think the budget cut will come from Conley walking, trading Bojan, trading JC, or moving Favs... Niang at 3-5M (he won't get more than that imo) is still a good value.
