We need to add multiple defenders this offseason
I looked away and Portland went 9-0 on us.
Austin Reaves and Trae Young
Not Keyonte's best game so far.
Cody's been short and long on 3PAs. The next one should be just right.
Most NBA teams now will just turn their back on a guy with a low 3P% and crowd the paint. Nurkic must be on the "let him shoot" list. It's not like he has a quick release or anything.
Keyonte's last 5 games: 28 pts & 7 asts

Does Hardy teach the team to play defense? Asking for a friend.
We have a weird scheme where three guys are supposed to be able to rotate out to cover the entire perimeter, and it doesn't work. We leave guys completely open constantly. All they have to do is move the ball a bit.
For example, they have Cody guarding at the top of the circle. Then if there's a drive he's supposed to drop into the paint. Then if there's a kickout, he's supposed to race out to the corner and contest. He's usually able to do a couple of those things, but rarely is he able to do all three effectively.
Seems like he's been injured a lot, no? He also relies a lot on his athleticism.
Keyonte with three straight TOs leading to run-outs.
Jazz are on track to give up close to 150 pts.
He hasn't played this year. We've seen the jump Keyonte made this year.
This is close to rock-bottom.
Our next game is @OKC. Should go better than this.
