Depth chart: At 5, Kessler, KO, Collins, Hendrix. At 4, KO, Collins, Hendrix, Luka. At 3, Lauri, Luka, Brice. At 2, Ochai, JC, Sexton. At 1, JC, THT, Dunn, George. Top 6 should be the goal and 2nd round of the PO's. LET'S GO JAZZ.
Go Big or Go Home. Best big lineup. JC at 1, Collins at 2, Lauri at 3, Hendrix at 4, Kessler at 5.
Best small-ball lineup. JC at 1 Ochai at 2, Keyonte at 3, Luka at 4, Lauri at 5.
So like has locked on sports gone to the point where it's big enough that David Locke is no longer the host of his own podcast or is he just taking the summer off?
Get this guy off locked on jazz where the heck is Locke 😑
You are Judis, get out here with that crap.
Is it really fair that so many have written off Collin Sexton off due to a recency bias where it was his 1st season on a new team new system & teammates & after recovering off of a tough injury while in Cleveland ? I think we should be able to at least make a better determination after watching his play from this season. & On THT, I think we have a better grasp on what he is and what his game intels currently. Question marks for me Are –>
-John Collins – how does he play in a new city and a new culture/system ? ( & Has his injury healed and has it affected his future gameplay?
Jordan Clarkson- What will his role be, will he be a good fit for our future team and someone that will help our team and our rookies develop? Or will he not be willing to due to it possibly being too the risk of potentially getting out played at his position by these up and coming rookies or sophomore players that play his position?.
-Walker Kessler? – Does he play well in FIBA WORLD CUP does that tournament impact his game play either on the positive end or the negative end. ( As we as Jazz Fans 🙏 pray for No Injuries from any of our guys) we are having 5 players play for their respective countries.
Taylor Hendricks. Is he as good as I think he will be? Show why he was picked over Cam whittmore and Leonard Miller, etc..
Keyonte George- Will he be able to seamlessly adjust to the NBA Game as fast and as smoothly as he did in Summer League. Is there any real reason to be worried about this 2nd Injury on the same ankle he hurt in college? Will he be able to play as electrically as he did in Summer League or will he feel like he needs to play less explosively due to any lingering concerns about re-injuring that ankle?
Will Hardy-
Now in a new season that is coming with actual expectations and more supposed talent then the prior season will he be able to get everyone to buy in like he did last season when the Jazz outplayed the underdogs roles monic u're coined by much of the NBA media also season . Thanks for the great shows.
These are what I'm concerned and excited to find out about.
I would take Marrkanen over Haliburten any day of the week currently. But everyone's entitled to their own opinions
It doesn't sound like you place the Jazz in the upper echelon It sounds like they're in the more low or mid low echelon.
Even though there are many young cores better than the Jazz's, I think the Jazz have the advantage in a big way. Many of those other teams have lacked (and likely will lack) veteran leadership. They're almost too young.
The Jazz's core will be raised on the expertise of Clarkson and Olynyk. Not to mention, many played with other highly experienced veterans (like Conley), for other NBA teams, and/or for their home nation — all of which make a young core even more experienced. The Jazz are in a great position to reach their potential, whereas some of those other teams have plenty of potential but may never reach it.
