As bad as it looked, it was not as bad in the first half as the score was. We know Jazz has trouble defending the perimeter, but 70% off from downtown was ridiculous. That won't happen most of the time.

I also want to see more midrange J's from brice, he seems to have a sweet stroke
 
Just back from restaurant. Watch second half. Seems we let youngs players improve... Keyonte will be good once he got consistency. I will not be surprised if he become an important player in 2 or 3 years.
 
Steals in the draft happen. We have one and I think he will grow to at least partially his ceiling. I am a mad man and I think he is a rebounding Paul Pierce clone. Sometimes when your body is bad you lose your mind/cardio ond defense. He must push conditioning all the time to reach his potential.
 
The one negative is he looks like a turnover machine
Keyonte was like that when he first starting playing in the NBA. The speed and pace of opponents needs to be adjusted. He was definitely making some bad passes, but at least he was trying to keep the ball moving and not overdribbling into the defense like the team's main turnover machine.
 
Sounds like Brice is a player. I've said it before but on draft day I watched highlights from Key , Henny and Sensi and was most excited about Sensi. Pretty obvious now that Key is the man but good to see they are all showing signs of success. We might look back on this draft as our best ever.

Brice got in shape after his surgery over the course of the season and is playing great. It looks like the front office drafted pretty well in 2023.
 
We shouldn’t be fooled by Brice’s turnovers. That’s why he’s out there, learning from his mistakes. It’s always the same thing. Rookies turn the ball over. Keyonte did it a lot at first, too, and still does, although a bit less now. We’re lucky to draft Brice. He’s got that Pierce-Booker-DeRozan style in his game. He’s just starting and it’s early of course, but I'm excited about him.
 
Man our defense was bad this game. Both Keyonte and Brice have a really low feel for team defense. Not to single just them out, everyone was bad. Even Kessler struggled, but his assignment to guard Jokic and clean up after everyone else was basically impossible.

I really wish we had more two way players on this team.

Jazz need Walker Kessler to grow up fast.
