Huge factors

Yep.

 

[Jiipee84]

he has less career experience than Cody. He'll be fine.

Maybe Hendricks is not yet 150% recovered of his leg injury that injury was so nasty and brutal.
I don't know how much time those injuries needs but absolutely it isn't easy task to come back of that so fast.

Keyonte has been closing this game pretty well.

 

[jazznik]

Do you remember how bad was Keyonte in his first season when he was bringing the ball up and being pressured? He improved so, so much.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Clayton closing games already.

 

[Jiipee84]

Lauri 40PTS 13 rebs.
Where this guy was last year.

He just looks so comfortable in his role this season.

That's true. I just don't think Keyonte is ultimately the lead on-ball guard for playoff team.

Tanking hard

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Take a look at Brice's +/-. It's surprising.

 

[fishonjazz]

That's true. I just don't think Keyonte is ultimately the lead on-ball guard for playoff team.

I do think that he looks better than most 22 year olds as lead on ball guard so far this season.
Not many 22 year olds are ready to lead teams in the playoffs though

 

[Jiipee84]

Tanking hard

That can be said whole Jazz team.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Walker's FT form is so so so so much better now

 

[Shad]

I love Royce. He was asked to do a lot for us

 

[fishonjazz]

That can be said whole Jazz team.

Yep.
Lots of guys looked worse last year

 

[Shad]

Im going to be sad watching AJ on the wizards next season

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

This is probably the most effectively I've seen the Jazz force feed Lauri

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Someone needs to tell me how to feel. It seems like a Lauri and Kessler led team will probably convey that pick to OKC.

Are we going to win a bunch of games early and then scramble massively at the end to try and keep the pick? Do we want to just win and forget the pick? What’s the feeling and vibe around the team and here?

Need to trade Lauri if we can at a minimum otherwise we probably miss the playoffs and give away our draft pick.
Worst case scenario.

It's quite conundrum. I would still demand to be blown away to move him. Spurs would have to give me Castle and all the premium picks
