For being such a load body-wise, THT dies on every screen like a minnow.
Being big isnt necessarily a benefit when navigating screens. THT's defensive strength is his length, hands, and ability to take contact. Players who are great at getting through screens are those who can stay attached to the offensive player. Being strong helps if you are able to stay attached, but THT is more of someone who guards with his length.
 
THT's conundrum right now is that his handling/ball security on drives isnt good enough to be lead handler worthy and because of his shooting he kind of needs to be on-ball/lead handler.

So he's got to either get better at the shooting part or the driving part.
 
It also feels like the Jazz just havent gotten out in transition much lately with THT on the court, and that's where he is at his best.

Looks a lot like he is allergic to contact from here.
 
Wait, how the **** is Udoka only 23 years old?

He was a 4 year college player and this is his 3rd year in the NBA. His birthday was in September as well.
 
I will say right now NAW is playing with more energy than THT. THT seems to be in his head mentally with how to play with his recent poor play and NAW is just coming out of with energy. NAW and THT will probably play ping-pong with minutes all year.
 
Sexton seems to be running the show quite good. Lauri getting hella touches. Ball moving.

Dok playing ok and jazz playing good with dok on the court.

Kinda nice not seeing KO on the court. We are getting rebounds and protecting the paint! And still scoring!
