Taylor has lost a lot physically, but he is WAY better offensive skill wise since his rookie year.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yeah this is true on that side of the court just kind of forced to look at it as a rehab year but in his rookie season he had zero feel on the basketball court and it looks like that’s developing a little bit so if the mobility can get back to like 85% of what it was on that side of the court I think he’s an NBA player

He's got more feel on offense than I've given him credit for. He just has such a bad handle it's hard to express it.

Cody missed that shot but it was on target and hit the rim so an improvement from his rookie season and jsut made a great move to the paint

Cody doing stuff

 

[KqWIN]

Flip is a real offensive weapon at the five. I don't think he can start there, but just being a good offensive backup 5 might have to be his future. Individual and team performance is significantly better when he does not share the court with Nurk/Love/Kessler.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Cody playing 12 minutes a night isn't overdunked (Locke Reference), at least against the bottom teams.

How many of these stocky little white guys named Spencer does the league have? There's one in Golden State.

 

[homeytennis]

The Tay Henny Express and Williams island value is going up bigly.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I think Cody will come around by year 4 or so when he's 23 or 24.

 

[Roy_McAvoy]

Look at Flip play. It’s absolutely asinine on multiple levels that Hardy plays Nurkic more minutes than Flip.

 

[Mikle12]

I think we have missed the chance to cash in on LM being traded his value is diminishing with each game he misses very injury proned now lucky to only maybe get 1 first rounder for him now

The Hendricks bus is gaining some traction

Ya the haters proclaiming his demise prematurely are going to look foolish.

 

[fishonjazz]

I like watching this game without nurk and Lauri more than most so far this season.
And it helps get a stud in the draft.

More please

Jazz saving themselves from winning with these transition errors

 

[fishonjazz]

Key so good regardless of who he shares the court with

 

[Roy_McAvoy]

Hardy is going to make my head explode.

Nurkic is out tonight & Flip is balling. Jazz need to develop Flip & Nurkic is washed. Yet Nurkic averages more minutes than Flip.

Kevin love is playing more minutes tonight than Hendricks and Hendricks is balling too.

Ace Bailey has been sitting the whole 4th quarter (just came in) while Svi plays. Svi is also playing big minutes while young guards sit.

Hardy refuses to play Hendricks & Ace together at the same time for some weird reason.

Love's minutes are at center.

You want to play Hendricks at center?

 

[Roy_McAvoy]

Love's minutes are at center.

You want to play Hendricks at center?

I want Flip to get big minutes at Center & Hendricks to get big minutes at the 4. They both should’ve played 35+ minutes tonight.

But yes, Hendricks could get some minutes at Center. In today’s nba, absolutely.

In today's NBA? This isn't 2018 when everyone thought the Center was dead and every PF could be a C
