Key, unsurprisingly looking sharp as a scorer and distributor.

Keyonte has been very good.

Brice looks a lot better in a real NBA role instead of GLeague/Summer League role.

It's just hard for me to believe Walker Kessler is better than Collins if Walker is still a trash can on offense

Collins has to be perfectly on point to have the impact as Kessler at 75% because of the team defense. If we can get Kessler moving like at the end of the half there, there really isn't a comparison because Collins is just a non-factor on defense, which is rough for a center. Kessler still has scars from last year apparently.

I maintain the Jazz are better than the Wizards.

Sensabaugh looked really fast there

It's not so much of being fast but rather he really knows what he is doing on offense. Brice is uses his body well, understands and uses angles and has a variety of moves. He plays more like a wily vet who does not need to be super-fast or bouncy to be efficient. Now, if his new body helps him to improve on defense,,,

Was this ever in doubt? I'm not sure that the Jazz without Lauri are worse than the Wizards.

 

[jazznik]

I did not expect Cody being the primary defender at the PG. And he has been doing quite well, actually. Going forward, this may take some pressure off Keyonte .

 

[MT Steve]

Juzang has such a ridiculously smooth jumper.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Juzang can do this all day. He's earned his way.

 

[framer]

I see you, Eubanks!

It was a straight line run

 

[jazznik]

It was a straight line run

Yes, and if you look closely you would see that he used his body to keep the defender on his hip and away from the basket.

 

[jazznik]

Cody is probably the best perimeter defender for the Jazz, which is wild.

 

[framer]

Cody is probably the best perimeter defender for the Jazz, which is wild.

In a couple years he might be one of the tops in the NBA too. . .

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Hendricks dribbling is so painful

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

This Breakers guard looks like he's about 5'8".

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Cartwright is really good. Just small

Maybe in heels
