If the closet needed a thorough cleaning after only 3 years of Danny Ainge he needs to be held accountable and shown the door.

Clarkson was the last player who played with Gobert/Mitchell. Now the players with the most Jazz tenure are grizzled vets Kessler and Markkanen. Everybody else has played only two seasons or less.

It seems that Austin has very little patience for no-defense players. Keyonte and Brice should be concerned.

Unfortunately, I must agree with other people in this thread: it is a clear sign that the Jazz will be shopping Kessler. In the modern NBA if you are a center without a 3-pointer range then you are not included in the long-term plans. Kessler does not have a reliable jump shot from any distance...

He is 36. Not many NBA players last that long. He had a good career.

I see that the obsession with the newest shiny players never ends. This time last season it was all about Cody.

I have not read all13 pages in this thread so maybe my points had been made already. Anyway. 1. The second round picks that are 35+ are worth almost nothing. One out of ten of them will turn out into a rotation player. The Jazz had 35 of these picks since the mid 80s and got exactly 3 players...

It's 2.8 million per year. In return you get a player who is good off the bench, does not have obvious holes in his game and knows all the Jazz plays extremely well. Oh, and by all accounts he gets along great with coaches and other players and wants to be here. Can you find a markedly better...

Am I the only one who gets uncomfortable with the disconnect between the hype around Ace and what he looks now as a player? Because what I saw was a player with a very limited bag and who is not smart on both offense and defense and who, as a result is often forced to take tough, well-defended...

The Jazz want Ace to be happy and stick with the team. They do not care at all about what Clarkson, Sexton, Keyonte and Collins think. These players either fall in line or will not be on the court. Out of all top-10 drafted players only Tre and Fears will have similar wide-open opportunities...

Most people really underestimate how many minutes and opportunities do the Jazz shove down the throats of their young players. Filipowski averaged 14-15 PPG in the last two months, Keyonte - 13 PPG in his first season and so on. And they had vastly inferior offensive capabilities compared to...

Or just call themselves the Lakers.

Slow rhythm is not the root problem here. Joe Ingles played slow and was damn effective. Kawhi and Jokic are slow and deliberate and they one of the best basketball players alive. Cody's problem is his general lack of skills. When you are not good at dribbling, shooting and finishing at the...

What did you realistically expect at the 18th pick? It is the pick of Josh Green, Goga Bitadze, Lonnie Walker, TJ Leaf, Henry Ellenson...

I can see Ainge taking a chance on Traore.

Kasparas would be a typical Spurs pick but they have plenty of guards already. Interesting.

Did you mean to say "one of the worst passing front courts in the league for years to come"?

And who is our first guard?

We already have 2 promising young centers who need all minutes they can handle. The Jazz desperately need a decent guard.

Someone better draft Maluach and Queen before 21... The Jazz always had this weird obsession with drafting centers.
