Training Camp Notes

Eh, who knows. He and Ryan are apparently BFFs. This is conjecture, but pretty sure JC golfs with Ryan in exchange for dressing up in Johnny Depp outfits and talking **** on Amber Heard every Saturday.

I think Ryan has dudes he likes for sure but its clear he is letting Ainge run ****. So if the price hadn't been right then the Black Pearl would have sailed to different seas.

What if Jordan Clarkson is just taking it easy during training camp, since he played all summer, and Keyonte is considered JC's understudy... I'd find it hard to believe that Clarkson is getting paid $23M to come off the bench behind a rookie. I'd find it easier to believe that the Jazz want to give Keyonte reps during camp, since this is his best chance to get acclimated. Keyonte should be rotational, but I don't think he's the starter until the Jazz trade Clarkson.

Yeah... fans always expect rookies to start and/or get big minutes. It's the shiny new toy syndrome.

But when the season rolls round, it's usually the same old vets starting and getting their 28 minutes. The kid who "blew everyone away" in training camp suddenly finds himself at the end of the bench or in the G League. That's just how the NBA works if the rookie isn't a Top 3 pick or a generational talent.

Conley would golf with Ryan. Past tense.

I'd actually put even money that Key is starting by the end of the year, barring injury or Sexton moving to another level

I really like Luka. Thought he looked fantastic in summer league.

Yeah, he did good there. Hope he does well for the Jazz. I don't wish poorly for any Jazz player. Just a little unclear why--from my reading of things--he's jumped Fontecchio in some fans' expectations, given that Simone has what I view as a more impressive track record (with his international success). If Fontecchio crashes and burns as much this NBA season, now that he's had a year in the US under his belt, as last I'll give it up on him.

What we’ve learned about this Utah Jazz team

Among other things, Keyonte George is the ‘real deal,’ John Collins looks ‘strong and springy’ and Ochai Agbaji has picked up where he left off

George playing well. Collins looks more athletic than he ever has. Agbaji looks good.
