THT Will Be The Starting PG

The reality is that the Jazz don't have a guy to run their offense through. Jazz can run with Kris Dunn, who is solid enough, but the team's ceiling is a bit limited. THT is still pretty erratic. Teams are going to back off him, dare him to shoot and let him pound the ball. Basically, they'll defend him like he's Westbrook. Colin Sexton's game is really just driving the ball at the rim. Clarkson is a more impactful player when he's in score-first mode. Olynyk can playmake, but you have to hang around and wait for him to process plays. Keyonte is just starting to learn the ropes.

THT will prove he can shoot if teams leave him open. He did it last year in 2023

Last year, he was 28.6% on 3 attempts per game. Teams are going to back way off until he makes them guard him. FWIW, Westbrook with the Lakers last year was 29.6% on 4 attempts.

THT shot 38% from 3 on catch and shoot attempts in 2023. He shot 33% overall from 3 in 2023. I said 2023, not 2022-2023 season.

So far he is 5/14 from 3 in pre-season, so he is on trend of being a mid 30% 3pt shooter that he showed in 2023.
 
In 2023 when left wide open, THT shot 41% from 3.

If teams leave him open, he can knock down shots just fine.

THT’s % would be even higher if he just cut out the step-back three from his game that inevitably misses every time.
 
Gobert can knock down threes if you leave him wide open

Not that he ever did, even though he was left open a lot.

Cy actually posted a video of it. It was this past summer when playing for france. I also saw him make a bunch when I went to watch a jazz practice/scrimmage at the delta center. If you play in the nba you can make an open three point shot.
 
If every player could make wide open 3's at a 40% clip, your NBA team would tell you to take that shot 10/10 times.
