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.

Bruh did I say give up and dump him? Yall are so soft if anyone has a different opinion.

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?

He's "defense pesting" his way into screens and letting his man put him on his outside shoulder. being active with your hands is not a substitute for footwork.

Conley can still play.

If the Jazz want to tank, they need to move Conley. He runs the offense so much better than Sexton.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Markkanen with 17 pts on 9 shots is impressive against the length and athleticism of Toronto. Lauri isn't struggling like Beasley and Clarkson.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Best thing I can say is they played hard. Mostly bad and boring basketball outside of that.

 

[SteakNEggs]

in his first 10 minutes of NBA speed basketball? He's doing just fine. You are awful at playing contrarian.

Once I saw that Cy said something it was obvious the complete opposite is actually happening.

It is painfully obvious that Cleveland really had no idea how to use Markkanen last year. THat really worked out for us.

Lauri played like an all star. I thought Conley and Gay looked good. Kessler and NAW had their moments. 11 guys played leaving 9 with DNPs.

They were scoring at will on Kessler and hardly even knew he was there on defense except for one drive by Achiwu

He's killer coming off that flare screen for the open 3. It requires someone with real size to close out on him.

Lauri is the best player on the floor. Kessler is quicker and has better hands than I expected. Everyone else is meh.
