Wow, a lot of players playing in the FIBA thing who play for the Jazz. Blocker Kessler hopefully gets a triple double with 10 blocks in a game
Also the first time Blocker gets to play with his new teammate, Austin Reaves
Ooo nice. That’ll be good for both him and team USA
Kessler is going to be a beast with FIBA rules.
So happy the sub is back. And happy for Kessler
Good development for him! Breakout season in the making.
Love it. Get Kessler all the experience he can
This is huge for him. Bigger learning curve with elite teammates + Gets to play for his country
Honestly, I thought it’d just make too much sense to have this year’s top 3 rookie of the year vote getters (so, Kessler, Jalen Williams, and Paolo Banchero) on this team. Hope they do it.
