Sounds like Key is 2005-2006 Kobe.

Didn’t watch the first half, but what I saw from the second half, Collier looked great. He has awareness to turn around and pass the ball to an open shooter while he's penetrating into the paint, something Keyonte is lacking. I really liked what I saw from Collier last night.

Yall watched something different than I did because Collier missed a ton of dudes

Collier is a cinder block… I like it.

I love this kid. His demeanor and look and body. Might have to buy my first Jazz jersey ever. Championship incoming.

Brilliantly incorrect.

It ended up being a competitive feisty game so the coaches/players played it more seriously.

 

[Miggs]

Fwiw it's only one game and I'm not sure how much any of these guys will play.
We have 5 vets to play at all 5 positions and hardy loves vets.

I'm sure key will play a lot. Everyone else on the court might be under 20 minutes per game though.

It’s one game. I wonder what the coaches said. Maybe they were like, “Just go out and play. Don’t think too much.” And from there, they evaluate and assess and tell Keyonte to open his eyes.

Or maybe there’s just a ton of duck swinging and Keyonte is making sure he gets his and let’s the other young uns know wassup.

We always have to have a punching bag around here. Looks like Key is that man.

How can that be when JCs are still here?

I mean we want the team to be bad so let the players play losing ball. Whining really does nothing except makes this season more insufferable.

Key needs to play a lot more 2K. If something is a “Bad Shot” in the game, then he shouldn’t shoot it in a real game.

I just dont get going overboard about a guy taking too many shots in SL. It's not like Keyonte was missing open players (didnt re-watch, maybe I'm wrong). Hendricks/Williams didnt like they could do anything with the ball in the half-court. Sensabaugh was a TO machine and Walker is Walker (and Keyonte did find him once or twice). I didnt groan at too many Keyonte shots. He took a lot, but he was getting himself open.

Collier had some nicer drive and kick here and there, but he actually missed wide open players.

Did Walker touch a boob in the offseason?

You noticed the couple of armbars he had going on Edey? That wasnt nice of him. I liked it.

If a guy is being selfish we gonna call him on it. Key was clearly not super serious last night which I don’t love but it’s not the end of the world. If guys aren’t playing the right way during the season we should feel free to complain. One of the biggest questions facing this team is “can Key be the pgotf”. It’s summer league and it’s the first game and clearly he was kinda loose. As my daughters would say… it’s not that deep. It’s fine but dude was a black hole last night… when summer league gets ugly that’s kinda what it turns into.

He missed several guys on the perimeter lol. It’s fine and we don’t need to go overboard but we also don’t need to treat him like the anointed one.

Yeah thats why I posted the plead.

That one shot early against a double team was horrible, but for the handles part I think he fared pretty well against Pippens constant swiping and grabbing.

Plus he was money from the FT line and drawing fouls on drives.
