Jazz are shopping Collins and Clarkson at a minimum. Not sure about Mills playing though.

I dont think thats the case. We are probably open to trading any of the vets, but I dont think Hardy is doing any window dressing for Danny.

Mills and Eubanks wouldnt be playing over the kids if it was just that. Its probably about them having the job until the kids prove they are worthy of replacing them.

This is such a random fact.. but Cody went 2/4 from 3 without hitting the rim once. Both makes were swishes and both misses were airballs.

Hardy is definitely trying to send a message to the young guys. If you want to play you have to earn it

Yeah that seems to be his way of doing this. In his first year he did this with Kessler and Ochai, and last year only Keyonte got "free minutes" but its easy to claim there was no one qualified to actually run the point ahead of him.

I really appreciate the Iowa farm boy shooting like 90% from 3 lol

I watched the first half last night and decided to not watch the replay of the second half this morning. I'm finding myself not interested in watching the parts of the games that I missed this year.

Hardy playing Eubanks and Mills over Flip and Collier is his first big miss of the season.

For Eubanks, my only explanation is that they liked what they saw in Chicago with Collins at the 4 and wanted to get more looks at that. The only problem with that thinking is Chicago is terrible.

For Mills, I suppose they want to give Collier some time after returning from injury before throwing him out there. I thought for sure after pre-season that Collier would be getting the backup pg minutes, so maybe that's still true.

I'm on the fence on Juzang over Brice. Juzang is still young, so it's not like playing a vet over a young guy. Juzang also helps a ton with spacing, which makes everyone better. On the other hand we need to know what we have in Brice and give him time to work through his mistakes.

The good news is that there is a lot of season to go so if the record gets bad enough over the next month then there will be a clear mandate from the front office to stop messing around and give all these youngsters minutes over vets with no future hear.

Should have put Brice in earlier. By the time he retires Brice is gonna have the nickname 'Doctor Fade-Away' and he's going to make Bronny James cry at least three times. BOOK IT!

I am not surprised even a tiny bit.

Should be able to play them both imo.
On second thought the only way to really give them both a good amount of minutes is to cut back in Clarkson and Sexton minutes a bunch and neither of those guys are playing a lot as it is and that would be hard to do to those guys.

Really hardy has done pretty good with minutes and rotations for the tank and youth development. Only misses are eubanks and mills
