Do you want our pick to convey this year?

When a product as bad as last night's is put out there you have the two ways and Luka and Yurt7 POed because they are saying to themselves Ï'm better than these stiffs."

I guess. Its part of the weird messaging of this franchise where they declare Key the Truth and Collin a sixth man. Even though the in game results might be saying something different. Its tough for Hardy to be Mr. Minutes are Earned!!! and then also have the rotation he had last night.

Key sees the game how Hardy wants his lead guard to see the game. Sexton does not.

Earning minutes isnt simply about who puts up the best stats.

I think he needs to be more flexible in his approach then lol. Sexton is #17 in the league in scoring per 36, #31 in Assists per 36, and is in ELITE company when it comes to efficiency while doing so. Look at those lists and point out the guys getting 24-27 minutes a night and its Collin by himself. Even the chucker extraordinaire Cam Thomas is getting more minutes.

Sometimes you need to be a little flexible with how the job gets done. You don't get bonus points for being cute.

I'd rather just keep Sexton in his lane that he is dominating and keep his value there. Overextend him and he loses value. They will likely trade him now or at next year's deadline.

Its truly wild to look at the top 35 scorers in the NBA on a per36 basis and realize Collin gets 25-26 minutes a night in Jan/Feb.

I mean right... if they give him 5 more minutes a night it will all go to **** and his value will tank.






Or he will produce just like he has in those extra 5 minutes and his raw numbers will increase his trade value. We are overthinking this.

Generally don't like punting on drafts, but I do believe this draft sucks. Would much prefer to just take our medicine now and have 1-2 bites at the lottery apple for 2025 (non-zero chance that we and/or Cleveland suck next year if they sell early Donovan).

It's possible to find good players in bad drafts and to draft bad players in a good draft. Jazz aren't just trying to keep their pick this year, they added two more picks to boot.

Luka isn't better than anyone in the league, and Yurtseven isn't losing minutes at the 5 due to any of our rookies.

Sorry but the effort and product put out by the Jazz last night was just pi$$ poor. When coaching and management rewards this with more minutes and apparently no accountability dissension starts in the great unwashed.

Of course, and I'm not saying there's zero value. As a fan, I'm simply saying I would rather see us:

1) Compete, win enough to push for the play-in, and be relevant for the rest of this season
2) Have 3 FRPs in 2025 with the potential to get 2-3 impact guys or trade up for one supreme impact guy

Obviously come draft night if we are picking #9 or #10 I won't be furious, lol.

You going completely overboard. Sometimes teams just have bad games and that is what happened last night. Also the warriors are red hot right now and turning into a bit of a buzz saw. They kicked the crap out of a healthy pacers team on the road the other night as well and that was without Thompson playing.

 

[Tanktastic]

Last night may have been the petulant child lashing out... maybe its out of their system and they play better.

This is a really bad take.

The players are humans, not robots. They have feelings and friendships. They got a sudden gut punch from their "daddy", they're not the ones lashing out.
