I thought Kessler was going to make me eat my words, before passing the ball back to Toronto.

Collins becoming a 40% 3PT is a pleasant surprise.

If your words were that he was offering no resistance then I would say he did offer resistance there. Had a nice reverse layup as well

Walker just has such bad energy

That's exactly it. He kind of... jogs around the interior, looking like he's not ready or willing to receive the ball.

I thought he looked bad in the first half personally, and pulling him out was the right decision. He's doing better now though.

Walker "Positive Impact" Kessler

 

[KqWIN]

Just by standing around the hoop, Kessler puts pressure on the defense. So much better than him spacing out to the corner or trying to be a high post big with dribble handoffs.

Spoon fed bunnies

 

[fishonjazz]

He's being spoon fed bunnies!!!

So what you are saying is he is ready to receive passes and then finishing. Btw all 3 buckets have been contest reverses. The last one was a tough finish. It's hard to make a reverse with no glass.
Hater gonna hate though.

Jazz are also a positive during Kessler's stint right now. They are outscoring the raptors during this stint. Sorry about that

You can just feel his negative energy when he makes a mistake. He has no belief in himself right now.

Even though he does a lot of positive, his negative energy just rubs off which is probably why he isn't playing as much

Spoon fed bunnies

And making them, which for this current iteration of the team is a huge plus.

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Spoon fed bunnies

And converting them, which is precisely his job.

 

[fishonjazz]

Simone should have spoon fed him there

He's probably reading Jazzfanz and posts like yours are discouraging him.

Way to hurt the team.

I do hate the zone

None of those options are that great. By standing under the rim he clogs the paint by allowing his (big) defender to patrol the area.

People can squint as much as they like, but it won't turn Walker Kessler into a useful offensive player until he acquires some actual ball skills.

I think he's skilled. He's just soft.

I miss THT so much

You pick the weirdest things to focus on in games.

In the Cavs game you were complaining about our offense when it was torching the Cavs but the defense had like a 140 DRTG.

Tonight you're complaining about Kessler of all people when he isn't even a top 10 reason why we're losing.
