Collins and Clarkson must go, maybe we can be part of a trade that get Wembanyama to the Lakers too?
 
Lauri intentionally missed the second free throw. Down 2 with 17 seconds left. Missing the fiest was not intentional. Missing the second was to try and get an offensive rebound. Otherwise it's a free throw contest to end the game.
 
The most promising thing about Keyonte is that he has become a really great passer for a guy who profiles more as a shoot-first combo guard.

I give a lot of credit to Clarkson. Even though he can have wild shot selection, he's a definitely a creative passer who likes to get players open shots.
 
I think Key’s offensive game has developed nicely. He’s probably a +0-1 offensive guy right now and at his age he’s on a good path to being a +2-3 offensive player which is really good. If he was going to be an offensive superstar he’d probably be ahead of where he is now, but his current level is not bad.

Unfortunately, I think he’s definitely in contention for worst defender in the league and that offsets a ton of that value. I think this will keep him from being a star and likely a starter if it doesn’t improve. I have long thought of Malik Monk as a good comparison for how his career might shake out and I’ve gotten more firm on that belief for all the good and bad reasons.
 
Collier learning how to shoot and score is such a huge inflection point for the Jazz's future.

I think he will be able to score. In college he had a good game around the basket. When he learns how to use his strength to dislodge defenders without committing a foul, he will be able to get those Sexton type buckets around the basket. But the shooting is so far away it's scary to think about.

His strength/speed combo might be the best I've ever seen out of a shorter guard (maybe Russ Westbrook)
 
I just realized, it was after Sexton getting sidelined in the first quarter, the last three quarters Lauri looked to be more active and more involved than most of the games lately.

But why? Is it because they are shopping Sexton, so using Lauri almost mainly as floor spacer has allowed the most operating room in the paint for Sexton? Or is it the fact that Lauri has the best chemistry with Collier and Clarkson out of all guards, which he now shared more minutes with. They mesh together with Lauri much better than the pairing of Sexton and Keyonte.

Do you think he will be able to do brunson things in the future? A poor man's brunson in regards to scoring around the hoop using his physicality?
