I thought NAW looked really good on defense

He defends, he rebounds and he pushes the ball.

Not really, he's been pretty awful all around. Looks just as lost as he did last year.

Even so I'd much rather give him the minutes over Rudy Gay. I think there is some untapped potential in NAW.

Jazz need to run their half-court offense for Markkanen. He could put up some 30-pt games this year.

Hopefully this is more of a showcase to get rid of these old guys.

So you're impressed by a center catching some wide open passes for close shots, but a guard being a defensive pest is just meh to you?

You can tell he's just not there yet in terms of comfort level. Utah will have to coach it into him.

The objective of the season should be to teach Markkanen how to be aggressive. He's clearly our most talented player.

He's pretty good, but Sexton isn't a slouch either. THe fact we got both of them plus all of the picks for one guy is pretty amazing.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Just going on facts brother. Dude had no defensive presence for a guy who is supposed to be a generational shot blocker.

Give him time to get the pace & competition down. He's still raw, and young, and he's not doing too bad on offense. Defense will likely fall into place over time.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Vanderbilt's touch at the rim isn't great. He should have finished that play from Conley.

I want to see Agbaji and THT. Meanwhile Gay is still out there on the court.

Gay on Hernangomez- this could get interesting!
