Here is a blurb from last night's game: "Lakers guard Mac McClung was a force, leading the Lakers with 29 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists, notching his first career triple-double and helping the Lakers to their sixth win in their last seven games." This guy was an UDFA after playing three years at Georgetown and Texas Tech. He's had two 10 day contracts from the Bulls this year. Why don't the Jazz scouts find guys like this or Garrison Matthews in the UDFA pile? Is our organization that bad? Is Quin someone that stifles creativity like this as they realize they will never get an opportunity?

So, why can't we give guys like this 10-days and cut them afterwards, like the Bulls? I think you'll find worse teams than the Jazz in the UDFA game.

The Lakers signed him as the UDFA not the Bulls. The Stars this year had no one sign a 10 day contract when Covid was running rampant. That is the sign of suckiness.

Joe Ingles, Royce O’Neale, George Niang, Trent Forrest.

I know it’s frustrating when it doesn’t happen every year, but it’s tough to do and the Jazz have found their share of diamonds in the rough.
 
Remember when the Jazz used to do that free agent summer camp? Did anything good come from that? Or when they used to bring in dozens of guys to work out that no one had on their draft board?
 
Royce was one that came out of that. The legendary Stanton Kidd was another. One they missed on was Careron Payne who attended but the Jazz said no thank you.
 
A miracle win for the ages in OT tonight. The Stars played with only seven players as Alston sat and Carsen Edwards stunk again. Rayvonte Rice (who?) led the Stars with 40 points, Jared Wilson Frame had 27 and Childs had 20 and 12 boards. Tradeon Hollins was the star in OT as he hit a three point play and had 12 assists and 11 points. This is a joke on the Jazz front office that there is no second two way player and they played with 8 guys last night and seven tonight. Come on Ainge get it together.
 
For Infection: Kris Dunn had a solid outing in the GLeague tonight 14 points on 6-12 shooting and +11 in the box in 23 minutes.
 
This was on Pro Exposure so it is out there worldwide on the interwebs:
"Rayvonte Rice was on fire, shooting 14-of-24 from the floor, including 5-of-10 from deep. Rice finished the game with 40 points, shattering his previous career-high of 14. Rice’s 40-point explosion marked the first time a Salt Lake City Star scored 40 points in a game since Jairus Lyles scored 41 on March 12, 2019. Jared Wilson-Frame added 27 points as he continues to produce for the Stars. Over the last five games, Wilson-Frame is averaging 23.0 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists a game. Yoeli Childs, coming off a career-high 31 points and 12 rebounds 24-hours earlier, added 20 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and two block shots. Friday night marked Childs’ fourth consecutive double-double and fourth consecutive game with a career-high 12 rebounds."
