Probably going to be the norm going forward. Kessler is going to get spanked by starters and Collins will be better against backups.
On the other hand whoever starts get to play more minutes with our better players (Lauri and Sexton) which should help that players plus minus Numbers

LOL.

We've seen him dribble against future plumbers and accountants.

And Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Steph Curry, Anthony Edwards, Anthony Davis and the rest of team USA. And dominated.

Also not future plumbers or accountants and he did more than just dribble.

They were future Hall of Fame nba players who have pride and didn't want to be whooped up by a 17 year old kid. Yet we're powerless to do anything about it.

If I were the Jazz, I'd be optimistic about Keyonte, Brice, Filipowski and Cody Williams going forward.

Hendricks is mostly a spot-up shooter, though he's a nice defensive presence. Collier is probably a backup guard.

Cody Williams showed flashes that he can become the on the ball defender we lacked during the Gobert/Spida years. His measurables are virtually identical to Mikal Bridges and he carries himself similarly. If he gets a shot, he will be a difference maker no doubt. I can eat me some crow because I didn't see it even in summer league.

It looks to me like he's comfortable shooting from a few spots on the floor and uncomfortable everywhere else. He's got a way to go with his physical and offensive development.
 
Also, CY, your analysis of games is really quite good. Thanks.

It's frustrating when you have to make posts so personal and ugly with posters because you see the game well. I expect a snarky comment to this just because history repeats itself, but I appreciate your soundbytes when they are about basketball and not just ripping people down.
You are salty about me ripping you for ripping someone?

There's absolutely no reason to think that Flagg can face up and handle the ball in the NBA.

I mean... we're probably all in agreement that Lauri can't really handle the ball or create in the league. Yet he can look like this playing against top international competition:

This schtick has to get old for even you at some point.

You'd know something about that, right?

Anyway... I won't pretend to go along with the Flagg hype just because some people think legit opinions are a "schtick".

His ceiling is an NBA starter. Luckily, there's actual blue chip prospects in the draft.
 
Below is the video of Flagg's scrimmage with Team USA. I both think it's super impressive, but I also think the reaction was a little overblown.

People should watch and form their own opinion:

Sorry but I just don’t get it. Not only is he not the next Wemby, I don’t see a dang thing that separates itself from what we currently getting from Sensabaugh, check that (lower), Filipowski.
