Which players are now on the clock ??

I mean Cody can theoretically play with anyone because he doesn't do anything on the court

fair. entirely fair.

Keyonte has proven he can be an NBA rotation player. Now the question with him is role, efficiency and contract. He's in the same position that Walker was in at this point last year. This year is big for setting the direction of his career.

As a 3rd-year player, Sensabaugh needs to keep working on his body, play defense and make quicker decisions while he keeps knocking down shots.

Taylor needs to take it slow and build back his confidence. If he can hit a stride by later in the season, that would need to be considered a success.

Flip needs to add strength and play enough defense to stay on the floor.

Cody needs to show proof of life this year.

Has Key proven that? Subpar efficiency and worst defensive player in the NBA, it doesn't inspire confidence. My question is, if you gave Juzang the same minutes and leash as Keyonte, could he produce similarly or more? I suspect he could.

Keyonte isn't a lead guard, but his offensive role and efficiency come into focus when he plays off the ball, takes open shots and open lanes, and he doesn't force shots off the dribble. Yeah, he needs to play some defense.

nah. he doesn't have key's shot creation skills, playmaking/ball skills or passing ability. he's a better shooter.

if Key had juzang's pure shooting with his other offensive skills, he'd be killer on offense.

If Collier could shoot markedly better, that would be great.

Good post.
Proof of life. Lolololololololol

Keyonte has proven no such thing.

I hope Walter just comes in and destroys it. I'd love for him to take all of keyontes minutes.

Brice and keyonte have to show significant improvement this year or they'll definitely be on the outside looking in

Is Walter going to take time from Keyonte or Collier or both?

I just wish we could start seeing a couple of the vets moved and maybe a pick or two in return.

Well, Collier is a pass first PG that has good handles with better defense than Keyonte and Bailey wants his shots (Collier was second in defense behind Walker for Utah. Keyonte, Sexton, and Clarkson were all at the very bottom of the league for defense).

Keyonte can he a black hole that was in the bottom 15 on defense in entire league. We just took 1 guard in the draft that's a winner and another 2way contract guard that is known to play defense with athleticism. Keyonte also got benched last year.

If I had to guess, it's going to be Keyonte that's on a very dangerous season if he doesn't get his act together. He just had a back to back year with almost 0 progression in any stats while getting more minutes.

huh? he increased his points and assists significantly.

1 assist per game from year 1 to 2 is significant? You're not looking at his efficiency at all... BuT hE's ScoRiNG 3 PoInTs MoRe PeR GAmE

Of course you're going to score more points if you play more minutes (which is what I said) on the exact same efficiency.
His shooting percentages year 1 39.1%, year 2 39.1%. HIs 3 point percentage went up 1%.

None of that is good and none of that is efficient

There was ZERO jumps in Keyonte's game. I would love to see what areas you think he increased significantly cause it wasnt points and it definitely wasn't assists. His freethrow percentage actually went down 3%

but you said he had almost zero increase in any stats despite playing more minutes. you're moving the goal posts here.
