Is the dude we have stashed in Europe a PG?

No, he's an athletic slashing wing, who is starting to shoot a bit better.

I'm okay with the Jazz drafting Derik Queen in the late lottery if we're there. He can at least create for himself. The McNeeley kid would also fit.

Hardy tried out a lineup of Lauri + 4 guards, that was interesting.

Also, I really like this new Kessler who dunks with force from far away. I don't think that he tried to do a single weak layup this game. And now when he fails a blocking attempt and gets a foul - he just smiles and carries on. His confidence is sky high.

Why recall cody from gleague and then just sit him? Need a pro bench warmer?

 

[jazznik]

Filipowski has not been even passable on defense though. Every wing and every guard can easily get by him when he is put in isolation. If Flip does not improve on that he will be unplayable.

Hardy cannot even be bothered to give a s**t during these postgame interviews any more. Oh well, we lost again, LOL.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

If the Jazz draft Flagg, they'll let him handle the ball.

Hell no.

Flagg is a lot of things but not an NBA caliber ballhandler. Not even close.

 

[Tanktastic]

Will Hardy has given up on coaching. I could say Keyonte has given up on defending, but he's never tried it in the NBA.

It's going to get even uglier from here on out as the players tune out completely with these type of games mounting. Not going to be much salvageable.

Flip is still getting his sea legs after the ankle sprain. If he's this bad in another month it's worry time.

The Jazz have become completely unwatchable. **** the tank.

The Jazz have become completely unwatchable. **** the tank.

Then go root for another team, no room for fair weathered fans here

They aren’t completely unwatchable. Reality is this is a tanking/rebuilding team. When losses pile up and you are a young team these types of bad games will happen from time to time, comes with the territory. For the most part they’ve been competitive. Sometimes too competitive.
