Most people really underestimate how many minutes and opportunities do the Jazz shove down the throats of their young players. Filipowski averaged 14-15 PPG in the last two months, Keyonte - 13 PPG in his first season and so on. And they had vastly inferior offensive capabilities compared to Ace, a top-5 pick in a strong draft.

The Jazz will give him an opportunity to contend for ROY, so expect something similar to the first year of Donovan, i.e. 20 inefficient PPG.

This.

Cody Williams got 21 minutes a game for the year and he was awful.
 
A downside of Ace’s role is that it becomes more difficult for him to develop the other parts of his game when he’s tasked with being the leading scorer. I actually like PHI the best for him so he could be a role player first like Tatum/Brown in BOS. That can get contentious though. We’re seeing what’s happening with Kuminga, and the Tatum/Brown situation wasn’t all roses either.
 
It depends on how we handle the roster. I dont see Ace getting to 12+ FGA if Clarkson, Sexton, Keyonte, Collins and Lauri are all here and in the rotation to the extent they have been. Those guys are not deferring to a rookie. Clarkson will still do his eternal search dribbles and shoot them floaters and flamethrower 3s.... Key will shoot his pull ups... Sexton will put the blinders on as he does quite often and Lauri trigger is hypersensitive as we all know. Collins also isnt deferring and isnt a great field vision or passing guy anyways.

If we want to free up shots for Ace we gotta move some of those guys.
 
People are thinking this based on "Ace skill and potential", and forgetting team and context. If you believe Clarkson is suddenly gonna turn into a guy who starts deferring to rookies you arent thinking straight.

Cody and Hendricks have gotten like 5-6 FGA without even having to compete for minutes/shots with each other... now Ace is coming in to play with the same guys they played with and in addition they are still both here. Collier, Brice, Flip... we got guys who all wanna build a career.

Point is we gotta trade some of them vets. Taking up major minutes/usage from these young guys is no longer acceptable.

Did Cody really average that many minutes?
I don't even remember seeing him on the court at all

Ace better get his shots up this season cause next season he will have to concede to AJ

You can tell if a player will be great very early in their first season
Donovan Mitchell avg 20+ PPG his rookie year
He got the starting job permanently at game 12 and never looked back
By game 10 you could see he was going to be special
This is usually how it goes with great players
Let's see how Ace does Hope he does great
:) :) :) :) :)
