    What should the FO do if we are 0.500 by January?

    What is exactly interesting about discussing the hypothetical that is never going to happen? It's like discussing what should the Jazz lineup be after Collier is back and his shooting improved over the summer to the Curry level. Or if Karl Malone decided to come back and he is somehow in his...

    What should the FO do if we are 0.500 by January?

    These hypotheticals after 4 games... The Jazz had a very easy schedule so far and will still have weak opponents for the next three games. After that there is a long stretch of games against strong teams. Also, at the moment almost all our players of consequence are healthy. I don't want to put...

    I know people here don't like when I harp on Clayton going under the basket on defense for that sweet rebound or steal. But there was a play at 1:38 left in the 1st that just made me irrationally mad. WCJ suddenly abandoned his man in the corner, went under the basket and decided to stay there...

    Also, if Kessler shoots and passes like that for the entire season he is getting the near max offer from someone. Washington or Chicago.

    The Blazers won because they had Jrue Holiday. His combination of offense, defense, experience and leadership is really rare. Jrue was by far the best star player that the Jazz faced this season. And they still almost won.

    Cody is like the direct opposite of Brice.

    Kessler vs Clingan is always fun to watch. Also, they are pretty big across multiple positions: it would be fun to see the Jazz finally playing a team that is not tiny and not old.

    Hey man, why do you work so hard to make it personal and mean? It's just basketball and people have different takes, that's it. I like reading what you are writing, wish you posted more often.

    Keyonte or Walter Clayton Jr, who has the better career?

    Clayton often ends up in the center, hunting for rebounds or steals. But that usually means that he left his man wide open. One of the recurring situations on the court is Clayton rushing like hell towards the corner to (usually, unsuccessfully) contend the wide open three, which he created by...

    Derrick White can defend.

    Well, there are tiers of centers and they do not neatly align with the round numbers. I am pretty sure that Kessler can become a top 10 center: he will need to become as good or better than Zubac or Allen. I am really not sure if he can enter the top 5: he will need to become better than KAT...

    Because the rest of the NBA besides the Suns would not try to play 4 guards+1 crappy PF against the opposing tall frontline. The only reason why the Jazz one was because the Suns inexplicable started the game with Ighodaro as their only big. They were -15 in his 13 minutes. When the Suns turned...

    It should have been Anderson inbounding the ball. That's how you know that Hardy is not about winning games.

    And that is why your middle school coach kept repeating that you always need to box out, Walker. You should have listened.

    OK, so if the Suns force the overtime Lauri is guaranteed to get his 50 points. Go Suns!

    The Suns are determined to keep fouling Lauri to his first 50-pint game.

    Do you remember how bad was Keyonte in his first season when he was bringing the ball up and being pressured? He improved so, so much.

    Kessler just leveled up this season, and in so many facets. Free throw shooting, dribbling, passing, finishing at the rim, 3-point shooting... Walker looks like he can end up being a top-7 center at some point.

    He is missing everything off the dribble but makes everything when his feet are set.

    The offense was flowing so much better with Keyonte, tbh.
