Don't quite know what to take away from this game. Cody played decently, Flip was ok, not quite sure with Collier. Some guy named McGriff was shooting really well.

Didn't see it myself but Larsen reports that Harkless had right wrist soreness and was pulled out.
 
What did I just see?! I think that Cody played his best basketball for the Jazz in the second half. He was scoring, passing, stealing, rebounding... He also started grabbing and pulling his player on defense, which I had never seen him doing before. And Cody was smiling and talking, which was so unfamiliar and weird. He was simply the best player on the floor in the second half for both teams.

Two more games like that and people would start jumping on his bandwagon like crazy.

He was really active in this game, but he was also given on ball duties in the 2nd half. Not sure how translatable that is to the main team, but he looked good doing it. Maybe he can pop more as an on ball player?
 
I'm lowering my expectations for Cody at this point. I've put it off a long time. I think he's basically a team defender. His body is maturing, so he's starting to find his sea legs on defense and grab a few rebounds. He's becoming decent at challenging passing lanes and contesting guards who aren't too athletic or too skilled for him. He seems pretty confident with his 18-ft jumper, while his 3PAs are still an adventure. He's able to get a step and finish layups if there isn't a big defender waiting to turn him away.
 
Collier did what he could in a situation where there was no team play at all. We didn't want Collier to score isolation points. He'll get better in the preseason and into the season.
