Should we be worried about turnover margin?

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Why be worried I thought we wanted losses. This is fan-damn-tastic. We have a combo guard in his second year that until recently was our starting pg who never played the position till he got here, then turned the reigns over to an actual rookie and this is one of the youngest teams in the league?

TO's are always direct correlated with teams who pass more and have less 1 on 1 players. If the Jazz's main offensive creation is going to be Collier driving and creating, you are going to live with a lot of turnovers, especially with how daring Collier is with his passing. It's a positive thing tbh because you want your young players to push the envelope of what they are capable of.

Jazz are letting their young players like Collier and Keyonte have a long leash to try and make plays. The Jazz are letting them brick shots and turn the ball over in support of their long-term development. Heck, they're letting Svi handle the ball and try to create. Jazz are being very permissive of turnovers.

It'll come down to whether players are comfortable and suited to the role they're being asked to play.

So a year ago, the Jazz were playing Kris Dunn, THT, Darius Bazley, Kenny Lofton, Luka Samanic and Omer Yurtseven. I'm pretty sure the Jazz didn't care about their turnover margin then, and they likely don't care about it now either.

Collier's turnovers I'm more than happy to live with. Not so much lazy pass turnovers Key and Clarkson sometimes get plagued with. Clarkson will take care of itself as his contract ages out, and Key seems to be upping his passing game lately, so we'll see how it plays out. The other glaring ones to me are when Collins makes a run to the basket 1 on 4 and loses the ball or get blocked. He's been playing a lot better lately, but he can't seem to pass back out in that situation to save his life...

And two years ago the Jazz were playing Mike Conley, Kelly Olynyk, Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler, Jordan Clarkson, Collin Sexton and Malik Beasley - and didn't care about turnovers. At which point would it be clear that Hardy doesn't care about turnovers at all - regardless of the situation and players?
