I wonder how good would Key already be, if he didnt get stuck inside his head so often.
I mean it doesnt matter if its a turnover, defensive miscommunication or a foul not called.... he just gets stuck to those moments for 2-3 seconds every single time and forgets to play basketball. If he would just turn and hustle to recover he would probably be a winning player already.

- Walker Kessler was so good this game. He was aggressive and confident, owned his space, and didn't try to do things outside of his skillset. This is exactly how he needs to play every game.
- It's kind of fun to see the growth of Hendricks in just knowing where to be on the court. He doesn't look so lost any more. You can see that Cody is still figuring all that out.
- I hope Keyonte is back soon. Internet doctoring says 3-6 weeks for a mild sprain. This is not the year to rush back, so I'm going to anticipate 6 weeks. Watching Keyonte's growth was one of the few things to look forward to this year, so that's disappointing.

MRI today will reveal more, but according to this report it sounds like the Jazz expect him to play in the opener.

Collier and Cody are really impressive on defense. Honestly might be our 2nd and 3rd best overall defenders behind Kessler They are equally clueless on how to score at the NBA level.
He's out there guarding the other team's best perimeter offensive player. That is extremely impressive as a rookie. He had one or two bad moments that I remember from last night, but I have been extremely impressed with his defense so far.
Collier really has to study how a guy like Brunson gets buckets. He has no vertical and his jump shot, while doesn't look terrible on his release to the naked eye, has some wild misses, so something is likely currently broken. Really needs to fix his mechanics because he's not going to be scoring like a Sexton type who can quickly rise despite being tiny. Iirc one of his strengths as a scorer in college was his ability to post up, which is why I think he should study Brunson
Cody will just be working on his catch and shoot and using the threat of his shot to take advantage of his straight line attacking ability to quickly get to the rim with his stride length and use his length and finishing touch.

Hendricks was really good yesterday as well.
Yeah, Hendricks is probably in the mix for 2nd best as well, but Cody is better at staying in front and Collier is more disruptive
Walker was definitely the best non-Lauri player. It was good to see him step-up against players who are of the same ilk and starter quality (Lively/Afford) and outplay them
