Matt Thomas - Matty Ice

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Basically a poor man's JJ Redick. He might be better than the actual Redick now, who costed Mavs a second round pick and an expiring in James Johnson

As far as experience goes yes, but Matt has more talent upside, and younger.

Nothing compares to a prime JJ Redick, who may well be one of the best three point shooters of all time. But JJ Redick now is more of a media personality/podcast host than an actual ball player.

who trades a knock down 3pt shooter for a future second from the current nba leader? maybe he has holes in his game, but shooting is one of the hardest things to learn. let's go development team! (i admit, i love these kinds of players)

He looks like the kind of guy who has a good chance at thriving in our shoot-first-ask-questions-later system.

I'm curious if there is a plan here... someone brought up that we were in on JJ too... clearly we think we have a need or a future need to address. We gonna sit JC/Bojan/Ingles/Mike/DM a little to get this guy on the court?

From the same college and the same height as Horny. Coincidence? I think not.

He has a lot to learn about team defense. His effort seems to be there but the jazz filter players and that will help him but he needs to be taught.

I don't expect the guy to be a defensive stopper but this video is horse ****.

It’s the GSW pick we owned

Mentioned in another thread, his defense his horrendous. Very slow lateral foot speed. Nick Nurse did his best to play zone with him in and he still couldn't recover to his man. Hesitates to shoot unless wide open (but tends to make the contested shots he takes). Should excel in Jazz offense.

Unfortunately when he couldn't stay on the floor with one of the worst defensive teams in the league is a red flag. Hopefully Gobert can provide some better backup to allow the guy to provide positive net value. To date he has been a net negative and needs to improve defensive fundamentals to get court time.

Niang can be the Quin whisperer for him.
