Also, so far Nurk has been a complete disaster for the Jazz. Jusuf is a veteran big in his prime who scores at the 37% rate. That is pretty unprecedented.

Also, Ace and Cody just have so much more potential because they have the size and athleticism: if they acquire a bit of skills and decision-making they will become plus players. Conversely, Flip and Brice need a very advanced skillset to overcome their physical limitations and their chances...

It's a second very good game by Ace in a row. He has been doing so many little things right lately: defending, rebounding, boxing out, making right passes... I feel that Ace has never been coached properly and neglected making the right plays and giving consistent effort in favor of being a...

Last year there was only Flagg, this year we will have three players of his caliber in the draft: tanking this year is the same as tanking for three years in a row.

Guys, do you want Boozer or Dybantsa on the Jazz? Games like that is the price of admission.

That's how it is supposed to be. When you are throwing a bunch of young players at the veterans team it will look ugly but that's how they learn and grow.

It's nice to see Collier's passes: I had forgotten how the actual point guard's passing looks like, not some "combo guards" cosplaying like the point.

I am not sure that this is something that Hardy has any control over. Svi could be just one out of many familiar Boston guys who Ainge managed to move to Utah. Starting with Hardy himself, Ainge Junior and Scott Morrison. And, of course his never-ending infatuation with Celtics bench players...

"I’m sorry but the Jazz should be embarrassed. The Hornets started 3 rookies, were without Ball and Miller, and the game was over by the middle of the second quarter."

A typical current take of non-Jazz fans: "Top 6 picks in this draft look like 5 future All Stars… and Ace Bailey. Hope he gets it together."

If the Hornets are planning to tank this year they are doing a horrible job: so far they secured the blowout wins over the Nets, Wizards and Jazz.

The thing is Svi is not any better now then he was last year. Hardy falling in love with him was totally unexpected.

And just like that, the Jazz have the 5th worst record.

That was arguably the best NBA game for Ace. I think Bailey is starting to realize that he can do so much more besides his stupid long pull-ups.

They started the 4th quarter with 8 white players on the floor. You don't see it very often.
