He was bad. Much worse than last year when he actually played team basketball. Hard to see him regress this game. Hopefully just a once off.

Filip is much smaller than expected. He's definitely a 4 in the NBA. Probably closer to Lyles than Olynyk. But getting a Trey Lyles with 32nd pick in the draft is still good business. Shot looks pure but isn't falling. With that beautiful stroke his % definitely gonna get there with enough practice.
You might not be far off. That was wild tonight

I pray the Jazz bring in Tyus Jones or Fultz to run the team. Neither are good enough to ruin the tank, but can run a team so it actually has structure (Hit Rolling Kessler, kick out to Hendricks in corner, find a slashing rookie, etc). If we roll out Sexton and Keyonte as the guards we are hurting development (and it will suck to watch).

Actually thought Collier did a decent job. Doesn't have the ball a while lot but created quite a few good looks. Just gotta tell Key to let Collier do his thing a bit more. It will help Key a lot also if he simply doesn't try to do too much on offense.

Some quick thoughts on all the players I remember playing.
Keyonte: Great free throw shooting, and too many turnovers. Liked his attitude this game but wish he would've passed more. Maybe he knows he won't play all the games. Still struggled with pressure taking the ball up the court--I'm starting to think he could be a good player but not starting at PG.
Brice: Turnovers were troublesome, but I liked pretty much everything else. Some nice shots and solid D. Also underrated but it was a good decision to keep walking after the brief altercation with Edey.
Cody: Honestly I was pretty happy with what I saw even though it was relatively quiet. There was a great moment where he dribbled through traffic on kind of a chaotic play. He does seem to have a knack for finishing at the rim, and the defense looked solid too.
Taylor: There were a couple moments he got beat really bad on D, but also a lot of great defensive plays down the stretch. I'm still pretty high on him as a 3-and-D rotation player, but he still seems a bit passive to be anything more than that.
Walker: Liked his game today overall. He didn't get put in a lot of positions to score, but the defense was good and he battled a lot in a surprisingly physical summer league game. Obviously the game-tying putback on the FT by Edey was a bit of a sore spot though.
Darius: It was interesting that he was the choice to finish the game. In predictable fashion he made a lot of great defensive plays but also didn't add much on the offensive side of the ball.
Isaiah: Loved his demeanor on the court, and his physical play stood out. Passed the ball well. Hit some outside shots and got some good rebounds.
Kyle: Was kind of a subtle game, but I was pretty impressed overall. The threes didn't go down, but the ball-handling and playmaking at his size seemed real. Seemed to be in the right places too, on both offense and defense.
Kenneth: Seemed fairly obvious that he was aiming to be a facilitator first. Defense didn't seem too bad. He doesn't seem to add too much if he's not touching the ball a lot on offense.

Super fun game (well at least second half and OT), the Delta Center was rocking way more than a SL game has any right to be.
Slow start but I love what I saw from Collier, I think he has real potential to be a rotation piece this year. Flips shot didn't fall but he was fluid, had great vision, and just knew where to be on the court when most other players looked like headless chickens. Cody was a little invisible but still looked very fluid out there and just has a pure game.
Kessler set some mean screens and had a great battle with Edey.

A real point guard is what the Jazz have lacked since Conley. Players would come unlocked, including Lauri. But Collier shows promise. Key will get you points but the rest of the team gets froze up because he has chucker in him and wont pass.
Key - Was chucking and dominating the ball like crazy. Not much to say here.
Hendricks - Not his setting to shine, but he was good. Defends well, I continue to believe the shot will fall. Wish he was a little more active but he was making an impact.
Kessler - Good, solid game.
Brice - I don’t mind him doing extra stuff in these kind of settings, but I don’t think the ball handling stuff is gonna work out. He will need to be more like Bojan and less like Bogdon.
Cody - Looked fine when he did stuff, but mostly a cardio bunny as he was at Colorado. Don’t think he’s making the same quiet impact as a guy like Hendricks.
Collier - Great second half. If he can keep up the intensity/physicality he will stick around in this league.
Flip - Nothing much to report here, missed his shots. Needs to find a way to help his team…might be decent at a many things but not great at enough things to be a role player.
Bazley - Did Bazley things. Plays with the activity I wish we’d see from Hendricks/Williams.
Lofton - Quiet for his standards, but productive nonetheless. Good to show he can play when not dominating offense.
Edey - Fun to watch. Definitely going to create a lot of high% looks with his size, screening, and nastiness. Curiously had no FT’s. Different kind of rim protector outside of college. Will make more contests/block, will also foul a lot more. Think that will be a mixed bag
GG - Might just be the modern day Antoine Walker.
Hendricks - Not his setting to shine, but he was good. Defends well, I continue to believe the shot will fall. Wish he was a little more active but he was making an impact.
