Welcome to the Mike Conley experience. He's a small aging PG who has missed on average over 30 games per season due to injury since he turned 30. Somehow they managed to squeeze 70 games out of him last season but then again Donovan was doing the bulk of the ballhandling. Since 2014 it's more typical for him to play closer to 50 games per season.

This is true, but since turning 31, he's missed way less than that.

His post-2014 numbers include pretty close to a year out with an achilles injury that lead to surgery, after all. Not saying he isn't injury prone, that average is schewed by that one injury.
 
Man, NAW is playing hyper impressive. The defensive hands, these 1 handed laser skip passes for wide open 3's, the shooting confidence. He's far away our best PG outside of Conley if he's playing with confidence.

If he can make his shot from 3 consistently it opens up his game quite a bit.
 
I have no idea how THT gets stripped so much. For someone with pretty good moves and quick hands you'd think he able to draw more fouls, but defenders just know exactly where he is going with it.
 
Jazz only made two shots inside the 3pt line that quarter. That's an impressive stat while only being down 2.
 
THT had a handful of games where he looked so solid. Then his game turned to complete ****. Its not like now there are flashes or anything, just ****.

He's playing very hard consistently and making quick decisons.
 
THT is such an odd case and that's why I love him.

So much of his suckage is self-inflicted by trying to do the hardest thing on the court because he's lack some fundamental abilities, like taking balanced jump shots or being able to get his layups off despite being extremely athletic so he has to resort to the wildest trick shots imaginable. But if he ever cleaned that **** up you'd think he'd be decent. His 3pt shot misses arent that bad, but I feel like they never go in because of his balance.
