Walker Kessler Hype & Appreciation Thread

[Coach Ellis]

He got blocked in this game, got the ball back and immediately turned around and hit the jumper. That was cool to see. Bulldozing Griffin for an easy layup. Nice touch on a couple of other finishes. He’s got more in the bag than he’s been showing most of the time.

He still needs to fix his free throws first and foremost. I think having a full off-season with Hardy & Company will help dramatically in that area. His rookie offseason was kind of a mess with the trade and early season injury.

For how absolutely ****** he is at FTs his jump shot doesn't look that bad.

Since Kessler became the full-time starting Center (35 games total) we are allowing the lowest FG% within 10 feet of the rim in the entire league.

This is even more impressive when you see that we also have the 5th most shots taken against us within 10 feet of the rim in the league.

It is a weird thing but it happens. I played rec league with an ex-juco player and he was automatic from 15-18 feet anywhere on the court and less than 50% from the free throw line. Crazy.

One of the craziest stats that i ever saw (pretty sure i saw it anyway) was one year bruce bowen was like #1 in the league in 3 point % but dead last in free throw %

Crazy ****

Well, it looks like Kessler is done for the season. Excellent season for him by the way. He'll get even better on the next season and so on.

Yeah was gonna start a thread for it but glad I checked here first, according to TJ, Walker is done for the season

So, guess THT is the true tank commander, heard he nick named his elbow "the people's elbow"

Amazing how many season ending injuries the Jazz have had. Be safe out there, guys, and take care of your 4th fingers and your hamstrings.

It's Dok time.

Bummer for Kessler. Great news for the Tank. Teams will be scoring 170 on us.

Well deserved. Couple of 1st place votes even. Don’t read the Twitter replies (as you never should) if you want to stay sane. Apparently you’re racist if you voted Walker 1st and Utah media ruined the vote…

Twitter is a complete cesspool.

Twitter is a complete cesspool.

Literally the worst humanity has to offer, all in one place. Brings out the worst in pretty much everyone who participates. But I'm one who is firmly convinced that social media in general is a cancer in society and will eventually be a large part of our downfall.

Eventually?

Eventually?

Well it is fully underway, but we aren't there yet. It is going to get much much worse.
