Another guy who's been disappointing is Agbaji. Guys who can't handle and create by the time they get to the NBA seldom acquire that skill after they get there.

Jazz don't need Ochai to handle and create for himself. He can be a really solid 3&D player, and those are always valuable.

Doesn't look great on a team with guards that can't playmake, but I'm hoping that we make some trades to clean up that problem.

If teams switch on the perimeter, then players who can't put the ball down and beat a defender get shown up. It happened with Royce O'Neale, and so far it's happening with Agbaji. Yeah, if someone can draw Ochai's defender and kick out to him, that would help.

Look if playing time is based on playing the right way and results… Keyonte needs to be playing a lot more. Everyone of our guards (except Key) is stuck on stupid… it’s contagious.

Keyonte got 12 minutes that half. 1 less than THT. The future is coming up quick.

Jazz will give THT more than a 3-game sample size, but the difference in shooting between Keyonte and THT is glaring. THT's decision-making isn't consistent either.

The Jazz have had a tough schedule, but through 2.5 games are by far the worst defensive team in the league.

13-4 on made free throws. Jazz offense is garbage tonight. The guards not being able to throw it in the ocean is not helpful either.

It happened with Royce O'Neale? On the team with the best offense in the NBA while he was here?

Royce was great for us in that role. My only two gripes with Royce were I think he was a bit overrated as a defender, and sometimes he was hesitant to shoot when wide open and quickly passed instead. We did not need him to have handles or a drive game to have the best offense in the NBA.

I know the season is young but Walker Kessler has gone backwards I thought I would have seen improvement in him and he would be dominant in the paint and hardly blocking any shots

Are you even watching the game?

They're hardly challenging Kessler directly. And why would they - our guards are easy meat. Nurkic is 2/6 against him and that's about it.

2nd half needs more Kessler/Lauri/George
