[MT Steve]

Jazz are starving for more defenders like Harkless

 

[Shad]

Walter is penetrating the defense great

 

[Zombie]

Harkless forced two turnovers already

 

[fishonjazz]

Harkless is a god damn menace

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jrue is a beast on-ball defender.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Flip is moving his feet on defense. He seems to be able to guard 4s for the most part.

 

[Shad]

Yang with a karate chop to flips face lmao

 

[Shad]

I really would have loved to see this lineup with Ace over Svi

 

[Shad]

Caleb Love with potentially the worst shot of the entire season already

 

[Shad]

I dont think Brice can ball handle. It's really really bad if they close out on him... okay, he had a good play there

 

[str8line]

Another solid stint from WCJ. Could have had a few more AST with those wide-open feeds.

2-4 FG, 2 REB(1 ORB), 2 AST, 1 STL, 4 PTS in 6 min.

 

[Shad]

The Jazz had walter over Lauri trying to get the rebound on the Walker free throws, that was interesting

 

[rjfan]

Keyonte should've made a pose in that fall in the and one, It was deserved.

 

[Shad]

Great move by hendricks. I wish he did that 100 times more

 

[Shad]

I hate to say it but holiday is just better than all of our point guards at the moment and I think hes 36

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

So far, I’m encouraged by Flip and Keyonte. I think WCJ will be solid enough once he figures out NBA speed and distance.

Flip isn’t getting beat defensively. He’s long enough that he can step back on defense and still get a good contest.

 

[homeytennis]

I don't think we have to worry about losing our first round pick.

 

[str8line]

Brice can do a lot of things.

 

[fishonjazz]

Another solid stint from WCJ. Could have had a few more AST with those wide-open feeds.

2-4 FG, 2 REB(1 ORB), 2 AST, 1 STL, 4 PTS in 6 min.

He was also bbq chicken on the defensive end a few times but ya, he looked pretty good

 

[rjfan]

They already scouting for the next tank in 10~15 years. Advanced stuff in that halftime.
