I think AJ has vastly improved his passing since coming to the Jazz. Yes, there are still times where he holds the ball too long. I think both Kanter and Favors have improved their passing or BB IQ since joining the Jazz. There are flashes from the two young guys where they pass the ball instead of looking for their own shot.
The problem I have with AL is his defensive effort and how sometimes his stats look good but he isn't that efficient with his shots. He takes a lot of shots to get his points. I haven't looked at the overall stat sheet on AL but it just is my impression when watching him. On the other hand, it is obvious that AL is one of the few guys on our team right now who can put the team on his back offensively.
