Jazz's defense is ***. They're trapping Luka way out front and giving up an open rim.

You aren't making any points outside a small sample size that doesn't address reality. We have eyes. We all have eyes.

It's not small sample size. It's literally the entire sample. THIS YEAR the offense has been fine with Cody on the floor.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

That's definitely opinion. And if you believe he can only hurt a team so much because he doesn't do much, logically that must apply to other seasons. If it's true that a player cannot a hurt a team much when he doesn't touch the ball I can't see a reason as to why that would only apply to this specific situation.

The part about our offense being fine with him on the court this year is not an opinion. The other part is and I could be wrong about that.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Keyonte has taken a step since the beginning of the season. He's able to play on the ball, stay in rhythm and score based on what the defense gives him. That's big.

When you guys have a minute, go look at what Ochai Agbaji is doing in Toronto this year. That's the fate Cody is trying to avoid.

Half court offense?

 

[SoberasHotRod]

People complaining about small sample size and then pointing to 3 minutes as a gotcha. Smh.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Damn, Ace.

Yeah, because a lot of Cody's minutes came in the 4th quarter during the blowouts and it improves his averages. That is why his offensive rating is higher than Lauri's. And that is why Harkless has the team's second highest offensive rating (hint: Harkless is also bad on offense).

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Half court offense?

Do you have the numbers?

 

[AK47]

The hell did Ace come from?

I'm old enough to remember people saying trading Ochai was dumb and it was Hardy's fault he was bad.

Also Ochai got his full 4 year rookie deal. Cody hoping to get to his 4th year at this point
