OK, we need a thread to talk about what we are seeing from the players we argued about for a year.

I'll start. All of the stuff said about Kas not being able to get his shot off against NBA talent is absolutely true. Dude couldn't shake anyone in his first Summer League game.
 
The difference in athleticism of surgery repaired Topic over Kas is startling.

That is not to say that Topic is very athletic. . .
 
carter bryant is who we thought he was - he's playing, but you barely know he's playing.
I watched 4 Arizona games live this year. I never would have told you "That guy right there is the NBA player!"

I do understand investing in 3 and D players though.
 
Bona might be the best Summer League center playing. He might not necessarily be the best center in summer league, but he is the best center FOR summer League by a mile.

He's an absolute beast with wicked athleticism. He's going to have a good career.
 
Brice and Clayton are both plus-shooters. They can space the floor out a few feet past the 3pt line. So can Lauri. Hendricks might be able to as well. The Jazz can really space the floor if they want to.

The Jazz had Cody trying to guard Broome and Bona. It didn't work. He needs to guard on the perimeter. He's one of our best close-out defenders.

Ace elevates well on his jumper, which, combined with his high release point and high arc, makes his shot almost unblockable. He can shoot off pindowns and curls anytime the Jazz need a look.

In terms of size/length/athleticism, Ace is similar to Brandon Miller. However, Miller was almost 2 years older entering the league.
