Jazz summer league MVP?
- Thread starter str8line
- Start date
WCJ is a rookie. He's going to play. Plus its in SLC. Jazz want to give fans what they want.

I think it’ll be Sensabaugh for SLC and WCJ for Vegas.
Probably VJ if we're being honest, but it depends if the 76ers keep holding him out.
For the Jazz, probably Flip. His rebounding and playmaking likely make him more impactful than Brice overall.
Other guys who have looked good are Topic, Bona, Wells and GG Jackson.

I'm not sure I understand. My vote for summer league MVP was WCJ for that exact reason.
I think Brice/Flip could get shut down. Kessler/Hendricks/Keyonte were all shut down for the third game last year. But I bet WCJ plays all 3.
Flip not getting shut down at all. Has a ton of work to do on defense improvements

Correct me if I’m wrong, but so far it seems like he’s just playing the 5. Would like to see the Jazz bring in a legit center prospect just so Flip can spend some time at 4 and see where he’s at.

Sensabaugh scored a lot of points tonight

Wait... i thought after game 1 that it was Flip beyond a doubt. What happened? Did they play another game? Did Brice score more points than any other player ever in jazz SL history?
Fish on!
Fish on!
Didn't really feel like Brice was the most impactful last night, I would give that to Harkles or Ace, but you can't argue against that kind of shooting efficiency

Yeah. I think I said it would be Sensabaugh for SLC and WCJ for Vegas. . . but now I’m thinking it’ll probably be Ace for Vegas. Dude is special. Definitely has “Face of the Franchise” vibes like Donovan did when he first got here. Glad the Jazz did what they had to in order to get him.

i'm a WCJ fan and think he could break out in Vegas still. But honestly, every jazz fan should want Bailey to be the best player - if he's the Jazz' best summer league player as an 18 year old, it bodes extremely well for his and the Jazz future.

I’m actually pretty bullish on WCJ playing early and often this year. He’s an older rookie, but I still see a lot of room for growth as well. Saw some great plays of offense - both passing and shooting and a good mentality on defense. His one well-timed strip late in the game was a huge momentum play.
Yep.
Agreed. I think his March Madness play was who he is. He's going to be a great player. I think he and Ace will be the face of our franchise for years to come.

No it did not haha.
Perception changes daily with young prospects though. Wouldn't be surprised for him to have a huge game against OKC tonight and for us all to be talking about which All-star he most reminds us of again
Yup. WCJ is going to be good tonight.
At 57 seconds Clayton like WTF. And two clutch FT's with 10 seconds left in the game at 17:30.
