Nurk's floater has been automatic.

Got to rewire Ace to stop fading away from contact.

It's nice coming home from work and having a game to watch.

His free throw rate is insanely bad and really dings his efficiency on offense in a big way. For now, that’s fine - even preferable - but he’s got to start working physicality into his game.

Another layer to that is that he may find himself regularly playing the “2” and reliably have a height/length mismatch that he should know how to punish.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Wemby on fire.

 

[SD Jazz]

Wembys raining 3s, cant score closer the rim maybe.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

I feel like Ace should touch the ball almost every possession.

Yeah…this is not something that’s going to happen overnight, but it’s a change that has to be made. Needs to shift his focus from “getting his shot off” to creating contact.

An underrated part of Lauri’s game is just how physical he is on offense. He maintains a strong FTr despite being a heavy off ball player without much ball handling.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Cody got 3 or 4 deflections already.

 

[KqWIN]

I kinda want to see Ace act as the hub in some of these offensive actions. His passing is pretty good, just doesn’t have the ball a ton.

Hot Take: The Jazz leads the league in giving up open threes. maybe our defensive philosophy isn't working.
