Clayton is clearly going to be the starting PG a year from now.

This belongs in the overreaction thread

Seeing a lot of fans online wondering why Ace Bailey didn't play a lot with the ball in his hands. This must be the first time they're watching him and they believed in the baby Durant hype lol.

I know you're probably half joking but nothing about him looked like he's a rookie did it?

He was fully joking. It was 1 summer league game lolololololol.
Means absolutely nothing

Yup, over as in overestimating the amount of time it will take.

I guess your point doesn't really counter the poster you quoted point and was kind of pointless.

I wasn't trying to counter his point... the difference in usage rate is good supplementary context.

That Bailey block was pretty insane.

I thought Ace and WCJ both looked good tonight. Pretty excited about their futures tbh. Also pleased with the improvement from Sensabaugh and Cody. Jazz aren’t expected to be good this year, but it’s nice to see the young guys show some flashes tonight. Collier and Flip too.

I liked what I saw from Cody but he still mostly sucked. Remember when WCJ set him up with a wide open three with the shot clock winding down and he air balled it lol.
But at least he didn't look like the worst player for either team so I guess that's a win.

Collier's shot not looking any better than last year probably worried me more than anything tonight.

Agreed. I like him a lot but if he can't shoot he won't last

Yeah, um well that's just like, your opinion, man.

 

[fishonjazz]

Hmmm. I thought VJ looked like a star.

Me too. Not super efficient (only because he didn't get to the line and his 3 ball wasn't falling) but he was getting blocks and steals and rebounds and had hella swagger and was talking ****. He was second on his team in assists as well.
He had an impressive game.

But again, it's one summer league game. VJ could be the biggest bust of the entire draft or he could be a future hall of famer. 1 summer league game means nothing at all.

He was really good on defense when not matched up on Bona. Cody has his spots for three and that last second shot was not near any of them. I think he was surprised to get the ball.
