No. Too many teams with that as their main scheme. Utah applied for it originally but was denied.

That is what Smith last year about Purple, which I think if bogus.

I can’t put my finger on why, but Ochai’s ability to attack the basket is dreadful. Maybe it’s a lack of feel? He’s either getting a charge or clanking it every time. Unless it’s an easy uncontested basket he makes it look incredibly difficult for some reason.

Because Ochai isn't a first or second option like he is playing in Summer League. He's a spot up 3 and straight line drive player that thrives on spacing. In summer league, there is no spacing and no one is kicking something out for an open 3.

His straight line drives are the ones that end in disaster. If there’s any resistance at the basket he can’t finish.

Ross played nice.

Since we gave away Jones on a cheap contract I'm wondering if Carey even has a chance.

Ochai is shooting 43.8% from 3 through 2 games on 8 attempts per game.

The great thing is when he is playing with the starters he doesn’t need to be a creator and will feast on open threes opportunities.

We gave up our orange fire jerseys for these? Just awful

He’s good at spot up 3, driving not so much. Maybe that’s exactly what jazz need. So I don’t expect him to develop some more offensive moves. He’s gonna be busy with defensive assignments.

What we REALLY need is more offense from Kessler. Maybe 3pt shooting or midrange shot? He can’t be Rudy 2.0

It feels like @Saint Cy of JFC is auditioning for Keyonte's number 1 hater... can you confirm?

If Kess got reliable out to 15, that would be amazing.

He's already as good offensively as peak Rudy Gobert at finishing around the basket (not offensively as Rudy is probably the best in the NBA at screen setting) We have actually seen him hit a 3 in game. Really though, what we need from him is to get better at the line like Rudy did. 50-60% as a free throw shooter isn't going to cut it for someone who wants to be a superior post player. Fix that first, then start raining down the midrange after.

Sure, but he’s not creating in the NBA with or without starters around him. He might be able to develop a decent (straight line) drive to attack close outs, but he’s not there yet either.
