I agree that your lineup is the most likely scenario, but I still think they’d be better off starting Keyonte, Cody and Taylor together with Markkanen and Kessler. It helps with the tank, and they learn more about their young lottery players in bigger roles.

George - Sexton - Collier - Mills (Preston)
Williams - Clarkson - Juzang
Hendricks - Sensabaugh - Svi
Markkanen - Collins (Potter)
Kessler - Fillipowski - Eubanks (Tshiebwe)

Would be absolutely floored if Sexton comes off the bench. If that's the plan you have to trade him asap

Idk, maybe I'm a homer, but I still see a fairly decent roster unless you remove Sexton or Collins.

Sadly I do too. I see another 10th pick.
Hardy gonna have to get dirty for us to have a shot at the top picks.

Great signing. Felt like the Jazz needed an over the hill vet who could come in and be a leader without expectations of winning/playing time.

Another culture signing - and a good one. Patty just showed off his leadership skills and grit for Team Australia in the Olympics. Even if he’s slowed down physically, he’s a hell of a signing.

Mills, Eubanks and Mykhailiuk all bring solid intangibles to the bench and practice for the young guys - who should all get the bulk of the minutes.
 
A couple days ago I was driving and saw someone driving a vehicle that looked just like Patty Mills. I seriously thought it was him initially for a second before I realized there's no reason he would be here. Can't remember where it was, either, so it was probably Utah county and it didn't look like a rental. Very unlikely it was him but it was funny.

I agree with you. And, I think it’d be dirty to do it to him. But if the plan is to tank, outside of trading him at a discount it would be the easiest way to achieve a lower record.
 
I have always liked mills but I worry he has something left in the tank that could kill the tank

You're correct. Hardy has half a dozen veterans aged 27+ to help him, so if they want that high pick... With the fact of knowing how Jazz is a strong home team, and bottom five teams in east are quite meh, I'd bet over on that Vegas o/u 28,5 I saw few weeks ago. I predict 31-33 win season, accounting the trade deadline tank moves on it. It can be higher if some of the 1-2 year players gonna be advancing more we expect.

But if Hardy let's them rookies play through mistakes, at least Jazz should secure the pick not going for Thunder

I’m gonna choose us getting Cooper Flagg or the top 5 pick over hurting Sextin’s feelings given that he’s already paid over 16 million a year.

But that’s just me.
 
Feels a bit weird adding that another guard to a roster that already has that many and seemed to be looking to shed one or two of them. Either way, we're here for the tanking and he's still a good veteran who not only might contribute with his leadership, but one who also knows a thing or two about shooting.
 
I would assume that Mills gets playing time at the expense of Collier, at least at the first of the season.

I'm not someone who thinks the best way to develop a really young player is to throw them to the wolves. I think it might be a good idea to give Collier some time in the G-League and slowly give him rotation time as he is ready for it. However, I do think having rookie Collier leading the second unit had high potential for helping with losses and I would assume that Mills will reduce that by at least a little bit.

I do think having a mentor for point guards is a big deal and Mills could really help in that way.

So I kind of don't like it. But, I kind of do like it. But mostly I'm not sure it will matter that much.
