Someone is going to pay Tec like a starter then start him. I'd imagine he will take that offer.
More importantly Hardy was never going to give Hendricks his shot without forcing him to.

He might have. Tec was hot garbage right to the point Hardy started him out of the blue. Hardy is a great developmental coach, or so it would seem. . .
 
We hit the lottery with Key and Henny.

For years to come... Well, hopefully not.
Odd game vs Miami: The Jazz had a pretty good lead in the third, but it just didn't seem they were going to win at any time. Butler was just too much for and it seemed like Miami was just sort of coasting for most of the game and then decided they still wanted to win.

Defensively the team is lost although I think Hendricks is showing some promise (overal). It's just awful to watch a tanking team. The +- is (again) sad to watch for the opening five. Markkanen the odd exception, but his inability to hit regular fgs has been frustrating in a series of games already. Key was aggressive and hit some nice three pointers, but all in all quite inefficient: He also bricked some threes and his four assists and five turnovers just won't cut it, especially when the defense is what it is. Probably the first game (ever?) Markkanen led the team in assists, but that is likely because the passing game was quite bad in total and in this game when Markkanen drove to the basket and chose to pass the ball out anyone and everyone was hitting that three.
 
Just watch the replay. Not much to say, young players learn . Overall we are bad, specially in defense and transition. Tanking team style. We are not only one player away to be a good team but probably 2 or 3. Off season will be crucial if we don't want to stay there too long.

It was second time in last week or two. That time, Lauri also had the same 6 assists. He has been improving his passing so when he will have more help in the future, easily can average 4 assists a game, doubling the current average

Aaah yes. Checked the stat lines and he actually had 6 in Hornets game also. In the previous two games he had a total of 0 assists though, so not much improvement in terms of average.
 
Not yet, but it won't be long. And Hendricks will be a difference maker all over the floor on defense while Tec was solid in certain matchups.
Hendrick is very good on the offensive glass already. And is decent in catch & shoot. Otherwise he has looked like he's three years away from any sort of offensive game.
