Utah Jazz turnaround is hard to comprehend Is Collin Sexton the key?

Utah Jazz turnaround is hard to comprehend Is Collin Sexton the key?

The Utah Jazz turnaround is actually more than it’s capable to comprehend and there’s no single key but if there was is it Colin Saxton we look at that plus will hardy very open about his relationship with Colin next on locked on Jazz you are locked on Jazz your daily

Podcast on the Utah Jazz part of the locked on on podcast Network your team every Day how are you I am David lock radio voice of the Utah Jazz Jazz NBA Insider today I’m locked on Jazz we’re going to dig into the turnaround just make sure we understand exactly what’s happened because it’s truly incomprehensible Colin seon and what he means to the team but last night I asked

Will hardy about Colin and will hardy gave an incredible 3 minute and 30 second answer about his relationship with Colin and how Colin’s got to the spot then we’ll dig into whether or not Colin Saxon is actually the key to this whole thing but there can’t be one key

When there’s this big a turnaround Rick Carlile told the truth last night when he said that the Jazz are playing their tough guys and that is what’s changed who they are we’ll dig into that as well uh there is a number or two right now

That is beginning to be a little bit of a outlier uh of the level in which the Jazz are playing so we’ll dig into that so big show uh coming up for you I Am David lock radio voice the Utah Jazz Jazz NBA Insider this is locked on Jazz

Started all right we’re going to try to digest and under like ride this it’s incredible it’s been going on for a long time but let’s try to make sure we really really really understand what has happened here so first thing right now the Jazz are ninth in the Western

Conference they are half a game behind the Phoenix Suns they are a game and a half ahead of the LA Lakers they are game and a half ahead of the Houston Rockets who seem to be falling on tougher times and they’re three games against the ahead of the Golden State

Warriors who they play on Wednesday now let’s really Li into this because this is crazy I feel like I should have made a little Banner script for the bottom of this so I might type this out um as I as I write this out in

The first 23 games of the Season okay in the first 23 games of the season the Utah Jazz were six and 17 no we seven and 16 seven and 16 they had the 27th differential in the NBA differential is your offensive rating minus your defensive rating for 100 possessions and

Then that difference the only teams that had a worst differential through 23 games were the San Antonio Spurs the Washington Wizards and the Detroit Pistons the offense was 26th the defense was 26th so on December 12th we leave Oklahoma City we got throttled and we’re the 27th ranked team in the

NBA and the only teams that are worse are Detroit who lost 30 whatever in a row San Antonio lost like 20 in a row and Washington was Dreadful since December 12th when Chris Dunn excuse me when Colin Saxton and Simone fono go into the starting lineup the Jazz are 15 and

Four they have the sixth best differential the only teams that are better are Boston New Orleans who’s on fire Oklahoma City the nuggets and the 76ers they have the six best offense and they have the 11th best defense the sixth best offense and the 11th best

Defense okay so this is the first kind of I’m not trying to damper anything here but just point out our differential is the sixth best in the NBA our records the best like so we’re we’re out reforming okay fine we’re not the best team in the NBA I’ll take being the

Sixth best team because we were 27 the Jazz went from minus 8.8 minus 9 to plus seven per 100 possessions the Jazz have swung per 100 possessions 16 points without a trade without a major injur I mean Lowry was hurt in some of the stretch but

Lowry was hurt in kind of both of these stretches the part is if I remember correctly I’m going to go check it right now make sure I’m right Lowry’s injury is so without a major injury without a major not like John Moray coming back from suspension without a trade without

Anything other than a lot of coaching and a lot of belief Lowry has missed one game since then so Lowry was out for the portion before this so there is a little bit of an injury comeback because actually Lowry had missed of the eight games Lowry M of

The 10 games Lowry’s missed eight of them were in that stretch and so maybe if you go back hey we only lost the Clippers in Oklahoma City by 14 without Lowry maybe we were making this progress but on the December 13th I’m guessing there was a meeting December

12th the Jazz insert Simone fonio and Colin ston into the starting lineup and then on December 21st they take it a step further and they add Chris Dunn instead of Keon George into the starting lap and Keon is doing wonderful things but rookie point guards don’t help you win veteran Point players

Who like rookies just don’t help you win we’ve talked about a million times I don’t need to belabor it since then the Jazz are 12- two with the fourth best offense the sixth best defense and the fourth best differential in the last 14 games that’s when Chris Dunn suddenly was added to

The starting line just like Sarat Todd said on our pre-season interview when we had her and Lowry doesn’t play on that night that’s in Detroit on the 21st and maybe that game’s really important Detroit had lost 24 in a row it sure felt like we were in the midst of of

Being the team was going to end the streak we were The Underdogs and maybe the fact that this team got through the game on the 21st Chris Dunn playing 33 minutes with the Keon was out Lowry was out Kelly lenck has a monster game with 27 points three rebounds and six assists

And four steals maybe that’s the night that like they got through that hurdle they didn’t lose that game and then they found away so the turnaround is just remarkable now the question is why right and I don’t think there’s one easy answer to it but if I started down the

Road of where I would go I would probably go to you know my points gained which if you listen if you’re every day or you know is my offensive metric on how you evaluate offensive players and quite simply at the shooting guard we made a change from one of the

Most inefficient offensive players in the NBA for a guard to one of the most efficient guards in the NBA it’s a it’s a monst change now I can’t explain to you minus 8.8 to plus seven in that because there’s a lot of other things that must

Have gone on but Colin seon as of last Friday and he’s only gotten better since his points gained was a plus point6 when you try to find guards in the NBA and I’ll dig into this in a second more this is for the season that are better than 66 you don’t

Find many you find Shay gilis point6 you find Shay gilis Alexander 3.2 you find Tyrese halberton at 1.9 you find James Harden at 1.9 you find Steph Curry at 1.9 every single one of those guys is heading toward being a Hall of Famer Luca donic at

1.9 and for Colin ston to be point guard and be positive is in unique C unique grouping and he’s only getting more positive every night if I included this week he’d be more than he’d be higher than 6 but being point6 as a guard’s really really

Good and if you go to where Jordan Clarkson was as a starter for the Utah Jazz he’s gotten better since he came off the bench he had another good night last night Jordan Clarkson was one of the least efficient offensive players in all of the

NBA and frankly so is Keon and so was taon we got Jordan Clarkson was a minus 1.8 points gained now words if an average player used his possessions we’d score 1.8 points more than what Jordan does in the same amount of possessions keante George tayen tuck courton Tucker

Was a minus 1.6 and Keon George was a minus 1.5 you’ve reduced down the minutes that Keon’s playing you’ve reduced down the impact that Jordan’s have and you’re not playing tailon the three of those guys were a minus four every night I I I can’t explain

What a big deal minus four is on just to an average player in the NBA minus four is 30% more negative impact and Joelle embiid is a positive impact points gain tells you a little something here all right it’s an incredible turnaround it’s just amazing and we should I’m just gonna say

It one more time and then I want then we’re going to turn to Will Hardy on Colin saon yesterday which was just an amazing answer to a question I asked and then we’re going to dig a little bit more into how good Colin Saxton really has been because he’s been really

Good on December 12th the Jazz were seven and 16 with the 27th rank differential with only Detroit Washington and San Antonio worse since that day we’re 15 and four they’re 15 and four with the sixth best offense the 11th best defense and the sixth best differential overall and the

Team has gone from minus 8.8 per 100 possessions to plus seven uh no possible single explanation and frankly No Ex I mean just beyond reason a huge amount of credit to everyone involved obviously it’s totally Beyond Reason it’s flabbergasting we’re just getting started got a bunch more stuff and Will

Hardy on Colin seon is incredible revealing about Colin and Incredibly revealing about who will hardy is and what a humble approach he’s taking to coaching uh and I think particularly for someone who’s 35 years old about to turn big birthday coming up all right it is locked on Jazz we’ll hear that we’re

Sticker but I have them so hopefully I’ll find you every day or’s out there and um get them for you um all right I’m gonna try something I have not been great at this whenever we’ve done it um so we’re going to add will hardy to the

Stage and here is Will Hardy yesterday yester on Colin seon I asked him the following question a little wordy but I said hey if you look at Colin’s career he goes from lightly recruited to top pick to 20 point a game score to some they draft someone on top of

Him then he gets injured then he gets traded what has been the 17 months here to get him to the point he is right now where he’s this playing this well and this much of a positive impact and I got an answer I certainly did not expect from Will Hardy I

Think Collins had way more of an impact on me than he would think um I’ve learned a lot coaching Colin you know I think he of course we just had well that was that was bad luck the computer just decided to do a little thing I might

Have bumped something so let’s try it again we’ll just start from the top apologize for that um so let’s just start from the top and here is Will Hardy on Colin ston take two I think colins’s had way more of an impact on me than he would think um I’ve

Learned a lot coaching Colin you know I think he’s uh he’s one of the most endearing players I’ve ever been around because of his effort every day and his attitude every day I think um there was a lot of narrative about Colin when he was first traded here as

Somebody who scored a lot in Cleveland but wasn’t on winning teams um only thought about scoring blah blah blah whatever it is and I think that um you know that probably seeped into my head a little bit last year uh it would be like taking somebody on a date but calling

Their ex first I’m not sure why you would ever do that but that’s the world we live in like everybody comes with a narrative and you know I needed to kind of look this is truly amazing this happens every day um I think that like I needed to look in

The mirror in the off season and have a little bit of humility about mine and Colin’s relationship and just try to take it at face value I needed to take Colin at face value and just go hey whatever happened before he got to Utah is means nothing to me and how has he

Been with me every day how has he been with our team every day and he’s always done everything that I’ve asked he’s never complained he has never come to my office and asked for more playing time he has never asked for more shots he’s never um questioned what we were doing he just

Continues to work every day he takes coaching he lets me coach him very hard um you know there have been moments in last season that were caught on camera where people see Colin and I getting into it and um there’s no anger behind that that’s us trying to solve problems

And get on the same page and for him to understand what I’m asking him to do and you know this off season for me was about kind of resetting myself as it relates to Colin um and trying to just put him in the best possible situation to succeed it doesn’t mean that Colin

Doesn’t drive me crazy at times um he does and he knows that and I’m sure that I drive him crazy too um but we’ve recently had a conversation where I’ve told him like I’m not going to stop being a pain in the ass that’s my job

And I need to try to continue to help him get better and I think this season we’ve seen Colin get better from the beginning of this season to now some of that is conversations he and I have had a lot of that is the work that he’s doing with Evan Brads and our

Assistant coaches um and it’s Colin like he’s bought into what we’re trying to do and he’s gotten better so you know I’ve learned a lot about coaching through dealing with Colin um because I think he was somebody that really came in with a lot of narrative around the type of

Player that he is and I probably let that impact me too much last year but um you know he’s somebody that has shown me that like you don’t you don’t need to listen to any of that at all you need to just take people at face value for how

They are when they get here and what they do when they’re with our team um and he’s a big reason why we’re playing well right now he’s uh his energy is infectious on both ends of the floor um he’s a heck of a player and we’re lucky to have

Him I thought that was really awesome and revealing both about who will hardy is as a head coach that he’s willing to kind of say that and then also about Colin Saxon that was the narrative on Colin and there were reasons for it frankly Colin had had an the worst assist to

Usage rate of any player in the NBA Collins when Colin was a rookie Collins veterans basically revolted against playing with him in Cleveland I mean that’s an overstatement but if you go back and read all the Articles that’s somewhat what they like we don’t want to play with this

Guy he has changed that dramatically like his assist to usage rate now he was is a point guard is how was looked at was in the zero percenti fourth percentile in his first two years and in this year it’s in the 42nd percentile his turnover rate’s actually

Way down like he’s just become a totally different player his assist rate as a point guard in Cleveland his first two years was 14% this year it’s 26% um you know his points per shot attempt in his first two years in Cleveland was 102 his first year because

Rookies are not good I don’t know if you’ve heard me talk about that before his next year was 113 and then this year it’s 122 so 1.22 points per shot attempt his usage is no different it’s actually down a little bit from where it was at its

Peak in Cleveland so this is an incredible transformation col deserves credit and I I think you’ve heard me say this before Colin Colin’s the most I think that was a great phrase by will he’s the most endearing player I’ve been around he has probably the biggest heart

Of any player I’ve ever been around but I had I think I’ve said this on the air or at least I said this privately and I’ll give him credit because he’s surpassed this that I actually don’t think I’d ever been around a player when the year started who I thought had a

Bigger desire to do the right thing and be helpful and be the right teammate who wasn’t capable of doing it I I didn’t I wasn’t sure he was capable of doing some of those things and I still think Will’s put him in a perfect position I don’t want him coming up the

Floor and running the offense very often he’s doing it more and more and he’s doing it better and he’s making better reads out of the pick and roll and understanding where to go with the basketball and working on his drills and he’s shared with us about the goggles

He’s working with every single day to in cruit you know focus and areas and he’s watching film all night last night he said to us our postgame interview the night before and his work is Relentless his energy is never ending and so he’s putting in the work and actually proving

That he he can do more of this than and at least I anticipate I’m just gonna put on me I’m not gonna say I don’t want to put anybody else’s expectations on them I’ll just be honest about myself um and it’s really awesome in in the 19 games which he

Started so when he and Simone fonio go into the starting lineup and that’s when the it turns the Jazz are 15 and four Simpson best record in the NBA Colin seon’s averaging 22 points five assists he’s shooting 52% from the floor and 41% from three now the other one is that he’s

Taking three or four threes a game which he just simply wasn’t taking he’s he’s shooting 22 points and five assists a game they’re just we we could do like a really quick little search right here for guys in the league that average 22 points and five assists

A game just to make sure we put all this in perspective there aren’t many right like in fact let’s do it let’s go and we’ll do it actually from that date just so that we’re not doing a false comparison to the season as a whole but from December 12th to

Today the amount of players that are averaging 21 points a game and getting five assists are not going to be very many and it’s going to put Colin ston in Elite category and that’s the Jazz new shooting guard now that’s the craziest thing about it is somehow the Jazz have

Figured out a way to play Colin Saxton as a shooting guard at 6 foot one and that might be you know every night we talk about this as a joke that the amount of guys that like are that do this are because we call it Ron Boon talks about

The 6 foot7 Colin seon right the the 6 foot7 Colin seon thinks that somehow he’s not 61 so the guys in the NBA that are averaging at least five assists and 21 points in this time period um are Luca doners Jay gills Alexander Giannis adak kumbo Kyrie Irving Donovan Mitchell Trey young

Anthony Edwards Jaylen Brunson Kevin Durant Devin Booker Paula bonyo Dame Lillard dearon Fox John Morant Tyrese Maxi I mean these are the best players in the NBA in Colin SE by the way worth noting Kobe white is having the same kind of Revival in Chicago but I mean that’s not the whole

List but that those are the guys and then you add in okay well I want you to do it in 50% shooting and the list gets even smaller right we suddenly add start adding to the efficiency level that Colin is putting out on the floor right now and saying oh

You have to do it now I think that’s a silly way to do it because it doesn’t count three point shooting but you you end up you end up without having other players involved you had 50% shooting you got Joel and B Jay gilgas Alexander Giannis Anthony Davis Kevin Durant

Pascal cakam alrin shenon Colin ston Nicole yage tomata sabonis and Zan Williamson two guards Shay gilg Alexander is top five player in the NBA right now and Colin SE 21 points five assists 4.8 50% shooting Jay gildas Alexander Colin seon and a bunch of Hall of Famers that’s what he’s done it’s

Incredible his effective field goal percentage is 58.5 his true shooting percentage if you add his free throw shooting which is probably the best way to look at is 65.2 what does that mean with the usage rate over 20 and a true shooting percentage Colin SE Colin ston Shay guard Shay’s

Number one Cory kper Wing two Kai Kawhi Leonard three Jaylen Williams Oklahoma City four this is why they can’t lose Colin Saxton five since December 12th overall in the league guys with a 20% usage rate and a true shooting what best true shooting perentes joic sabonis Lowry marinan Chad

Holgren Shay gilas Alexander Turner Cory kissper Nas Reed Jonas valent Tunis Kawhi Leonard Colin seon Jaylen Williams Colin seon top 12 most efficient player with usage rate over 20 top five Wing or guard player with usage rate over 20 and true shooting percentage it’s incredible Rick Carlile told the

Truth we’ll touch on that as we continue here on today’s edition of the program thank you to Will Hardy for that thanks to Lawrence Scott of Jazz who uh put those videos out and get me access to those so that we can have them on the

Coach who I thought gave kind of a decent answer to and I talked about this on postcast why the Jazz are better he said they’re playing they’re tough guys I asked will hardy the other day whether it’s just as simple that Chris dun simoney F and Colin sex and play harder

They do Chris Dunn plays harder than keonte I mean it’s not a comp thing but like J Jordan like Colin seon plays harder Simone plays harder they they play hard they play really really really hard the other one I want to point out on all this is that part of what’s going

On here is getting guys into more efficient positions and more useful things I talked about Jordan last night that on postcast that like when Jordan was on the floor with the Jazz in his Heyday like if he has a good night we won and if we had a if he

Had a bad night you just alleviated the damage and we weren’t at that point earlier this year we relying on him well Jordan goes out with his injury and Jordan was beaten up I remember talking to Jordan he was really beaten up prior to Jordan’s injury Jordan’s taking 15 shots

A night shooting 39.9% and 29.5% from the field 39.9 and 29.5 since since Jordan’s come back Jordan’s taking 15 shots a night exact same so his roles changed but he’s getting the same it’s still just as impactful just as important to us but he’s shooting 45% from the field instead of

39.9 and 32% from three instead of 29.5 he’s also averaging five and a half assists Jordan Clarkson since he’s come back and come off the bench is averaging five and a half assists a game like I don’t know we’re talking about that enough what an incredible kind of evolution of Jordan’s

Game Jordan has got 22 games this year with five assists or more last year Jordan shattered his own personal record of SE with 27 games of five assists more in the two previous years combined he had 11 and 12 in those two years 23 so that’s talk about maximizing who

You are as a player and getting the most out of it Lowry is just getting better and better and better right now I I don’t I don’t I think he might have been beat up more than we realized something’s flipped in Lowry the player we’ve watched the last few days is the

Lakers game defensively against Anthony Davis he’s been really really impactful in fact if we go back to the last 12 games of lowry he’s averaging 25 points nine rebounds three assists the ball movement from all these guys is incredible three assists Lowry went seven games in a row this year

Without an assist or with one I think now he’s suddenly averaging three over the last 13 games he’s shooting 52% from the floor 42% from three and 91% from the free throw line it’s probably a little high just like from that and that gets me to my last point I don’t want to

End on a downer but one thing we kind of looked at earlier when the team from Back to the Portland game was well they outliers and I came up with no other than clutch game shooting there weren’t any outliers and that being 500 seemed really really feasible that was that was

My take if you recall back if the every day as you recall we looked at after the the Jazz kind were 20 games out of the Portland like how sustainable is this and I said I think actually in the next 20 the Jazz go 9 or 11 and 10 and 10

Like I think that was it maybe they would go eight and 12 well okay they’re going to surpass that clearly because they haven’t lost since we did that and they beat a bunch of teams we didn’t think they’d beat but the fact was is that it was genuinely sustainable they

They’ve now exceeded that even further I will say there’s beginning to be some numbers that are a little skewy like the Jazz starting lineup is shooting 54% from the field and 45% from three as a group with an offensive rating of almost 130 like some of the so that’s cooling

Out I I don’t think that’s a big deal and what I think that just means is we’re not going 15 and four in the next 19 games right like I don’t think we’re about to go win 60 games be on the pace for the rest of the year to win 60 games

That’s what we’re playing right now for the last 19 games we’re playing like a 60 win team I don’t really think the Jazz are a 60 win team but are the Jazz a 40 to 45 to 46 win team maybe and if they play at that pace the

Rest of the way then they knock on the play in in the playoffs and they get hard for them to get knocked out of where they are right now and they win 404 five 40 games and if they up that a little bit maybe they do knock on the

Door for a six spot in play I mean crazy but I don’t think that they’re a 60- win team and they’re beginning to show numbers that they’re playing at a 60 win rate which is why they’re 15 and four and I think some of that is a

Little bit we’re getting a little bit out liery so that’s going to probably come moving back to the mean I don’t know if it’ll come crashing back down I think it’ll come progressively back down a little bit but fine right so instead of being 15 and four or you know over a

19 game stretch let’s called 15 and five you’re 12 and 8 11 and n 10 and 10 that seems reasonable right now that’s crazy because let me go back to where we started the show seven and 16 26th offensively 26th defensively 27th in differential Detroit Washington and San Antonio were the only teams

Worse incredible by everyone a lot of focus on Colin today will quotes a lot part of it lot of focus on various things incredible Lowry’s assists Jordan’s assists Collins play Kelly Off the Bench John Collins we haven’t touched on yet where’s this come from he

Was the he was the plus minus Nader of the Utah Jazz and had now been terrific everyone deserves credit don’t want to single anyone out negatively or positively everyone deserves credit on where they are we’ll continue to talk about tomorrow on lock on Jazz have a

Great day we now send you over to the first ever 247 National Sports feed locked on sports today have a great day thank you for being in everyday I greatly appreciate hit that Bell button give us a thumbs up do all those things thanks so much

The Utah Jazz were 7-16 and had the 26th ranked offense, the 26th ranked defense and were 27th overall in differential. The only teams worse than the Utah Jazz were the Washington Wizards, San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons. Since then the Utah Jazz have the best record in the NBA, at 15-4, they have the 6th best offense, the 11th best defense and the 6th best overall differential.

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA insider trys to make sense of such an incomprehensible turnaround. There can’t be one thing that happened to make this come together but the move of Collin Sexton to the starting lineup is a large part of what has happened.

Will Hardy gave an amazing answer to a question yesterday about his relationship with Collin Sexton including you the great line “you don’t take someone on a date and call their ex first”

Then Locke takes a look at Sexton’s impact on the Jazz and how his efficiency has changed who the Jazz are offensively.
