The Most CONFUSING NBA Team..

The Most CONFUSING NBA Team..

Last night I watched the Utah Jazz make pretty easy work of the LeBron Lakers despite D’Angelo Russell having 39 points and Anthony Davis recording a sad triple double in their last 16 games the Utah Jazz is 12-4 and in their last five games the team is 5-0 which is currently

The league leadings win streak in the NBA including good wins against the Los Angeles Lakers last night an 11-point win against Philadelphia a 16-point win against the Milwaukee Bucks a 32-point win against Toronto and a 13-point victory against the Denver Nuggets needless to say these are some great

Wins during this stretch Will Hardy has been coaching his ass off and the players have been performing like they do not want to be traded which is interesting because the last few weeks we’ve heard nothing but trade rumors sparking up about the Utah Jazz despite their recent success the Jazz are

Currently the nine seed a game over 500 and two games ahead of the rockets and Lakers which leads me to asked the question what is going on with the Utah Jazz and how should they proceed today’s video we’ll be discussing some outlying performers and some players I think that

Will be moved and then we’ll wrap it up talking about if I think they’ll make the play in the playoffs or completely miss it we are on the road to 3,000 subscribers so if you’re new here please be sure to consider hitting the Subscribe Button as we are uploading

Four to five NBA related videos a week and some months like March or December we do daily upload without further Ado let’s get straight into this thing talking about Colin sexon in Colin’s last 20 games he’s averaging 21 points and four assists a night with the

Average of plus 18 on the box plus minus Collins’s game has always been very interesting to anyone who’s ever watched him from the Collegiate level to the NBA level I mean it’s no secret at all why he was such a big part of the Donan Mitchell trade obviously he was a sign

In trade I believe he Inked a 4-year $80 million contract and then lri Markin kind of blew up and was the center you know Allstar all be a caliber player the focal point of that trade um you know if you skip back to when that trade happened guys I can promise you and

Assure you that the Utah Jazz were not trading Donovan Mitchell in the hopes that lri Markin was going to be an all-nba Talent however the injury and recency bias that happened with Colin seon it can do a lot to a man or a woman’s perception of an NBA player

Colin Texon plays hungry not only on offense but defense as well he often plays every possession as if any second will hardy will blow the whistle and take him out of the game he’s diving on loose balls constantly he’s screaming communication on defense he’s hustling in transition and last night we saw a

Lot of him just catching lobs that you’d never think a guy of his size would he’s very quick on offense he’s explosive with a pretty solid jump shot as he’s shooting 37.5% from three in his last 20 games Colin isn’t a franchise guy by any

Means at least not yet in year six he hasn’t exactly shown just that however he has shown that he is more than a capable scorer and he’s shown this in a couple different systems as he was great in Cleveland before his injury even though it was you know sex land was a

Underrated or sorry not underrated but under sized back court um and honestly if he were to be dealt at this deadline his value would be more than most teams probably have to offer because I would like to say it’s tremendously High next guys aside con sex and with value would

Be lri marinin and Jordan Clarkson L is ing nearly 24 and n on shockingly nearly 5040 90 splits and it’s very interesting because he has had some games where he goes in there and he shoots 11 threes and he only makes two of them but his splits are still so great there’s been

Lots of talks about lri being moved or Pascal seakan being moved these are Pascal not so much but I think with the lar stuff it’s a little bit more fluff I do understand that teams are looking for a four who can stretch the floor and create their own basket play a little

Bit of Defense however I do think that Utah believes that they have their guy in Lai marinin and they aren’t really quite ready to move on from him especially considering he’s not an unrestricted free agent until 2025 so there is some time to work out a you

Know level extension on L marinin just like they did with Jordan Clarkson speaking of Jordan he’s having what I would deem to be a bit of an off year uh the stats are still pretty good he’s averaging 18 and five but the thing is it’s a little bit inefficient for for

Him he’s shooting around 30% from three on the season his last five games they’ve stepped up a bit he’s shooting you know 34% from the three but still that’s not that great I don’t believe that they’ll move on from the veteran six-man due to the fact that he is you

Know just last year they extended him to a threeyear $50 million contract extension and there’s tons of play for other teams to make a move on Jordan Clarks and if they do want to move on from him I I think as long as Jordan’s playing his value is never really going

To be low because he is a great scoring threat on the bench um even in the starting unit however I just don’t see the Jazz wanting to move on from a guy like him especially at this point in his career he’s just a great guy to have in

The locker room for Keon George for Colin seon for oai abaji um all these guys um some other notable names I’d like to mention before we get into the trade talks I want to give props to K George Walker Kessler and oai abaji uh these are just some young guys who are

Really getting it done Walker Kessler is quietly third in the NBA in blocks per game I think he’s averaging 2.7 as of last night um monster Defender really great patience I love Walker Kessler’s game I uh made a video last year talking about how I thought he would be a

Breakout star maybe a defensive player of the year one day um that’s neither here nor there uh Keon is figuring a lot out on offense um Keon is definitely doing a little bit more than oai abaji uh but I like what I’m seeing unlimited minutes from these guys I just feel like

Keon has such a patient approach to offense um but with a patience he’s still very very explosive which I I do enjoy um now moving on to the guys that I think are prone to be moved at the deadline as the Jazz have vocalized that not everyone is safe outside of pretty

Much lry Markin I think they’re going to move on from the veteran forward Kelly linic um and this has nothing to do with this on the court play I I do think they’re selling while the values High um and they just have a lot of forward play already with the addition of John

Collins obviously L marinin is your forward you have Walker kler they’ve been playing Town hor Tucker at point guard recently but he still can be a forward um so I do think Kelly oen will be moved Talon Horton Tucker Jr is another name that I think could be moved

Um and if I had a lock in a third guess it might be Chris Dunn just because Keon George’s play has kind of just resulted in Chris Dunn not getting any minutes I don’t know what the value is for a guy like Chris Dunn but for tht and Kelly

Oen I’m sure they could definitely yield some type of draft Capital especially for Kelly linck um if the Nets are asking for two first round picks for Dori and Vinnie Smith so all this leads to the question do the Jazz keep these guys um and try to make the playoffs or

Do they uh you know sell out and try to trade as many things for um assets and capital in my opinion it doesn’t really matter I think the Utah Jazz should stay in contention I don’t think they should blow anything up or move too fast and

This mainly has to do with the Donovan Mitchell Rudy go be trade uh they got back what was it five six seven first round picks in that trade I don’t think it really matters for them to have a year where they’re you know the middle

Of the pack um you know not only do I think that it doesn’t make sense for them to blow it up but I think they could make the playoffs um I don’t think they have a first round upset in them but I do think that the with the way

That the Lakers are playing the way that the Rockets are playing the way that the Warriors are playing even the Suns if they’re unhealthy I do think they could pull off a play in upset uh that’s the tricky part about basketball nowadays um in the postseason it’s always been you

Have seven games you can make a scheme against someone you can game plan you can correct your errors uh but with the play in it’s one and done dude it’s Winner Takes all uh if lri goes out there and he hits five threes and Colin seon drops 30 points and Jordan Clarkson

Is 20 on the bench um and Walker ker has four blocks it’s going to be really really hard to beat a you know a team like that and and they could do the opposite they could go out and lry could go 0 for 10 and Clarkson could be

Inefficient and Colin could just do nothing and Walker Kessler getss beat on every possession but that’s the tricky part about the NBA playing uh it’s really hard to judge this team as when the season started even just a couple weeks ago I made a video talking about the Western Conference playoffs and I

Kind of just wrote the jazz off um but here they are 8-2 in their last 10 games cruising on the League’s biggest winning streak and they have great wins like I said against the nuggets and the Bucks and the Lakers and the 76ers the Toronto Raptors all those are really great wins

But uh what do you guys think though can the Utah Jazz make a run in the plan maybe steal a game in the playoffs if they make it um let me know what you guys think in the comments below if you made it this far I appreciate your out

Support as always hope you have a great rest of your day stay happy heal and blessed peace
