For some reason there are now a bunch of threads where people are being so negative and relentlessly pick on Hardy, Keyonte, Ace, Hendricks, Cody... I think we all need to step back and realize what a great season the Jazz are having. Kessler was passing and sinking threes before he got injured. Lauri leveled up to one of the most efficient offensive players in the NBA. Keyonte is having a largely unexpected break out season. Ace and Cody are getting noticeably better every week. Collier showed real progress in shooting threes. Even Nurk has now completely reinvented himself and breaking all-time Jazz records.
And despite all of that improvement the Jazz still somehow managed to secure a great chance for a top pick in a loaded draft and to create a lot of cap space for the summer. This is due to the great work of development coaches, steady coaching by Hardy and shrewd strategizing of the front office. And, of course, because of the hard work of players. I think that we often fail to recognize how many things went right for the Jazz this season and to appreciate it.
