Yes, I expect wide open shots with no defenders around him to be makes more often than not because they are from him. Those are usually money for him. Those weren't all 6 of his shots.

This. No one can ofc hit them every game but we really was needing them to connect, so it was a bummer missing those wide open looks, especially when Suns were too damn hot all game.
Watching GG Jackson vs Hendricks makes you question NBA decision makers.

If you are going to lament not getting a certain player maybe consider he went 30 picks after the player you are ******** on and the fact that you had another pick that absolutely would have been the pick to use on said guy.

The next 10 games are all very winnable games.

The most positive thing I saw last night is that he looks huge and fast. The physical and athleticism is there. The shot is there. He needs development. He will start getting it now.
I hope they give him good minutes so he can figure it out. The same with Brice. Let them know their limitations so they can work on them. Hendricks is a beast and needs consistent minutes. Taylor will be a solid defender and scorer and I believe in him.

Taylor did fine last night. It’s about process over results a bit. The 2 curls he got while coming down hill didn’t end well but he strung dribbles together and one of them had KD draped on him… that’s elite length… it’s okay they missed for now. That was something I didn’t even think he’d be attempting right now. He’s way more assertive and active than when he started the year. Hes going to have some good games and bad ones.
Also all the “Hardy hates him and will play Luka over him cuz he’s a bust” talk was real quiet. He’s going to get a shot… he’s going to prove rotation worthy… at very least his value will be higher or preserved from where it is because he’s going to show bright flashes.

I remember some posts in here about how with Kessler in the game he kills the jazz offense and how its like 4 vs 5 and a handful of other similar posts.
I decided to try to see if that was true. Not sure im doing this right but here is what I think actually happened in this game.
Jazz offensive rating vs the suns: 114.1 (suns were 128.0)
Kessler offensive rating vs the suns: 174. (best on the team)
collins was second at 149.
Kessler defensive rating was 113 (best on the team)
Kris dunn was second with a 120.
Kessler also with a team best BPM (which I have to admit I don't even know what means) of 9.1
Not really what I was looking for though. I was hoping to find something saying the jazz offensive rating with kessler on court vs with kessler off court in this game. Don't know how to find that though.

There's a difference between half court offense and an overall offensive rating which is going to include fastbreaks, free throws, putbacks etc
