    Other than being a bulldog defensively, I'm not sure what else we can realistically ask him to do. He's not a playmaker, doesn't have great length, isn't a vertical athlete, doesn't get to the line in real games, etc. SL isn't going to help him just morph physically. IMO he's a deadeye...

    Can't imagine it's "worthless" otherwise why even have it? At minimum it's a good glimpse of who you have coming into camp + a chance for rookies to dip their toes into the NBA game. Don't see how it's doing anything for a 3rd-year guy like Sensabaugh, though.

    Brice shouldn't play anymore. He's shown enough. Clearly a heavy rotational guy at minimum. Probably a starter. I'm sure Ace will be a heavy focus in Vegas. Not to say we'll "run the offense through him" - he's not that type - but we'll run more stuff for him.

    Ace Bailey ROY watch

    Pre-SL my expectation was he'd be in and out of the rotation given how raw he is. But he clearly has stuff that we're gonna want to put on the floor. And given that we're not trying to win, his shortfalls shouldn't be enough to keep him off the floor. Not to mention we don't really have any...

    Cut Walt loose tonight and tell him to get his.

    Jazz summer league MVP?

    Yep.

    Jazz trade John collins

    And I think we’ll be tanking more “organically” this year. Last year’s team was bad but should have won more sans our shameless vet benching for which we received a $100K slap on the wrist. This team will be young, fun, play their balls off and still lose 60+ games. Not that I think the...

    NBA Summer League Wild Overreaction Thread

    Yeah. Even if he had a tight handle the KD comparison would still be a stretch. 18 year old KD at Texas is still the best NBA prospect I’ve ever seen (never saw HS LeBron and wasn’t old enough to judge anyways). KD was 26 and 11 on 50/40/80 (ish) shooting and was the conference DPOY to boot...

    B Miller always looked a bit bigger / longer to me (not sure about that). Ace looks twitchier / quicker off the ground. But pretty damn close. This is prob a needless post tbh.

    Harkless will never be a legit NBA’er but I fully support him on the squad. Perfect end of the bench tank commander. Hope his grit rubs off on the squad. Clayton was a stat sheet disaster but he looks like our most poised PG and best shooter on Day 1. Backcourt rotation will be interesting. I...

    Collier clearly seems spooked by the logjam at PG. Ugly, ugly game. Aside from that this team is damn fun to watch. Crazy we might have 3 starters in the floor tonight. Ace’s talent just pops off the screen. He’s basically a young stallion who hasn’t been broken yet but still productive. In...

    Walt’s jumper is pure butter. Quick release and needs very little space.

    Quiet on the stat sheet tonight but WCJ may just walk into the starting PG job by virtue of being the grownup in the room. Maturity shows vs. Collier / Keyonte. How many O Rebs for Ace? I tried to tell y’all the kid plays hard.

    IMO just get rid of it. Let the market speak for itself across all positions + “star” tiers.

    Keeping Lauri seems increasingly pointless

    You’re painting with too broad of a brush here. Each year is different. Big drop off from Harper at #2 to the others who went behind him. Who’s to say the same gap exists from, say, 3 to 5 next year? Point being, if a good team is picking high, and wants to win now, might they part with a...

    Keeping Lauri seems increasingly pointless

    Seeing as we’re clearly gunning for top 5 in 2026, it may be worth keeping him in the event we need to wheel and deal during draft season and include him in a trade package then. As we just saw you never know who’s going to be picking 1-3.
