Keyonte George and Walker Kessler lead the Utah Jazz over Giannis and the Bucks



Keyonte George and Walker Kessler lead the Utah Jazz over Giannis and the Bucks

The Utah Jazz get an awesome win against a tired Bucks team what happened Walker Kessler Keon George is it happening let’s talk about Hooper Joe all right guys let’s just Dive Right into this and get into into this game what an awesome win for the Jazz who have looked really bad recently they have lost three in a row and tonight this game started off pretty poorly it looked like the Bucks team might come

Into this Jazz uh into the Delta Center and get a win on the Jazz team that had two days rest while the Bucks were on the back end of a back toback on a on the road this had the makings of a really bad loss and the Jazz needed

Someone to step up and it came in the form of two young players on the Jazz but before we talk about that let’s talk a little bit about the Bucks I mean this was the back end of back toback they mentioned on the Jazz broadcast that the

Bucks came in at like 2 a.m. last night and the thing is is they still run here let me let’s pop this chat out here they still run with uh Robert Hall welcome and good morning uh they still run Yannis anmo with new head coach uh

Doc Rivers 39 minutes gets 33 points 13 assists seven rebounds I mean Giannis is just incredible and what’s the most impressive thing about Giannis really is just the drive that he has his his drive to play and compete no matter who it’s against no matter what night is

Impressive one of the best in the league and it’s not something that everybody has but Giannis 100% has it and so impressive night for Manis to play that amount of minutes and the other thing is the the Bucks were down a few players I mean they don’t have Brook Lopez in this

One Chris Middleton so they weren’t at full strength either still having Giannis and Damen Lillard is a pretty good combo and they both played a lot of minutes 39 and 37 and so they were going for it in this game you know and AJ Green came in for

Them and a few guys came in and knocked down some shots I don’t know what’s wrong with Pat conon but he is uh not the same player this year as he was last last year look he doesn’t even take a single shot Robin Lopez got rejected by

Walker Kessler and was promptly put back on the bench after four minutes oh no thanasis tonight either thanasis dnp couldn’t get on the floor a shame anyways that’s it on the Bucks let’s talk about the Jazz so there’s some interesting things that should be happening come trade deadline

This Jazz team has 10 players probably needs to run with a like a 10-man rotation probably should re run be running an eight or n man to be honest and honestly they have the assets to make a trade trade deadline to make that happen and still be a good team tonight

Really answered some questions for me and I know it’s the bucks on the back end of a back toback they were trying though they don’t have a great defense uh front court or back court what is it I think it’s back court I always get those two mixed up their guards are not

Good Defenders Damen Lillard you know the mix of Damen Lillard and Pat conon and AJ Green and Malik Beasley you know Malik beas is actually probably a little better than people give him credit for but not a great defender and Dame is renowned for being not good and so it’s

Nice to see the Jazz step up and get a win in that situation but what it did do is it made you really confident that if the Jazz do make some moves then holy smokes I think they’ll be fine sure they’re going to have some rookie issues with Keon George

Because all rookies do there is just a lot of inexperience there but tonight we saw the absolute confidence given into him Walker Kessler played with confidence and look what happens they get a nice win let’s go through the players though Simone plays 24 minutes uh the defense

Is almost the most impressive thing with him but he hits just one three tonight only took three threes in total uh 11 points four rebounds one assist he was actually okay uh he’s one of those players that you can put in and I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually he’s

Just on the Jazz as a backup big although I’m not going to lie uh I don’t in fact I’m going to I’m curious actually with Simone um what is his contract and you can see we’ve looked at this before no I don’t want that I want the actual let’s see Simone fonio

Contract uh let’s see so he has a two-year 625 million he is I believe on a rookie scale so uh restricted free agent next year so I’m guessing he’s going to be on the books next year and then it’ll be interesting after that he may be one of those guys that another

Team goes after and just gets him so it will be interesting but Simone fonio such a solid Wing player for the Jazz probably Off the Bench is where his best role is going to be but that’s pretty nice when you’re paying him 3 million to

Put up the stats he’s putting on look at this Simone is doing nine and three and an assist and he’s doing this with shooting splits of let’s see 45 from the field 39% from three I mean honestly Simone has turned into a solid NBA player and so it’s just a a luxury for

The Jazz to have him and then they have him next year for 3 million very doubtful they trade him and probably going to be on the Jazz for a while obviously he’s an older rookie so we’ll see what happens but he’s the type of guy I could see a contender kind of

Giving a bigger contract than maybe you know or even one of those teams just looking for more depth like I could see him getting a $10 million contract from someone he’s big he defends and he shoots the three well so so pretty nice lry marinin tonight you know these

Numbers look really good but I would say before the fourth quarter he was not having the greatest game it was not uh going I mean it was like fine but it really felt like man the Jazz are missing that that onea guy um he ends the night eight for 15

5350 you know we say that and then he ends the night 53% from the field 50% from three you know what’s weird thing about me by the way I just tried to clear my throat and I had to stop mid clear because it gives me the hiccups Does anyone else

Have that it is the weirdest uh malfunction of my physical body is that I can’t clear my throat without getting the hicups in fact even talking about it now I’m probably going to get the hiccups it’s so annoying uh so I have to cough if I actually Clear My

Throat F just you know random facts tonight for all of you but but anyways 21 points in a plus 20 for the game obviously marinan is huge part of what the Jazz do but he definitely needs playmaking around him to kind of enhance what he does or at least have someone

That can at least draw some of the tension off of him there’s nothing wrong with that markkanen’s incredible the things he does off the ball and the the fact that he’s able to score 20 to 25 points per game whatever he’s doing right now I think it’s like 23 isn’t it

24 yeah 23 and a half points per game and he does that all off ball and to be honest with not the greatest playmaking he’s not on the floor with Chris Paul or or any of these guys that set you know he’s not on the floor with halberton in

Indiana he is kind of playing on the floor with with you know Chris Dunn and Colin ston who have their moments playing well but between the two they had nine assists you know with that starting unit and he’s doing all this so it’s impressive what marinin does at the

Same time he probably is not that 1A guy that you need to win a championship so the Jazz have to find that in different ways whether it’s through a single player or through developing certain other players to become that uh let’s see Kelly and Simone for our 2024 first

Round pick back and bertens who says no I’m not I’m not sure what you guys are talking about uh but I’m sure it’s interesting anyways that’s what we saw from marinin tonight and when certain players went off marinin just added to it at marinin is is absolutely a winning

Player he is additive in everything that he does but he does need to be additive he is not the guy that you just put on the floor like Giannis and flat out can just win a game in you know on the road in Utah in altitude back end of a

Backtack long road trip and Giannis you know they ran out of gas but Giannis absolutely came to play uh so you know marinin is definitely a championship caliber player but the Jazz do need to find someone to put next to him uh John Collins Tonight 7 for 11

From the field look at that 15 points 10 rebounds quietly a solid night statistically and only a minus N I know you know the Jazz got down by like 19 and they put in another unit that really pulled him back but I’d say you know what John Collins has played pretty

Solid he’s is he a starting center on a championship team probably not but I think he’s a good player as a backup player on a very good team now I don’t know if that’s what he wants to do we’ll see there may be a team out there that

Has a better fit for him probably you know I know I we’ve heard I think slight rumors that the Clippers are interested in John Collins if the if the Clippers have anything they’d like to give Utah and the Jazz can find a way to get more Taylor Hendricks on the

Floor and things like that Walker Kessler obviously the Jazz just don’t have a ton of Center depth you know the the big rumor and you should go to SLC dunk because I’ve written about all of them I need to do more videos about it I’m know I’m sorry

But the Jazz might be buyers and sellers in this draft and if I was you know they we know that they’ve made calls on male Bridges we know they’ve made calls on dejonte Murray they actually made an offer for dejonte Murray and wasn’t accepted we’ll see if on the eighth if

The Atlanta Hawks actually take the offer and the Jazz get Deonte Murray although after what we saw tonight I hope it wasn’t a lot because keontay George is certainly looking like the guy that you want to be giving the ball more and more and not just giving the ball

But giving him confidence and support and belief you know from him coaches and the players around him and the guys that have not been doing that probably getting traded you know so anyways we’ll see if Collins gets traded the only reason I would see them doing that

Though is they do need something in terms of backup center I guess they can play Omar yvin but the Jazz do want to they do want to make the playoffs or at least not convey their pick to Oklahoma City so they’re not tanking that’s for sure so they can’t just trade John Collins

For a few second round picks uh no they’re not getting Kawai but they do need something even if it’s like you know I don’t know I they’re not giving up zbots or anything like that so I just don’t know what happens there uh Colin ston had a nice

Start to the night he was like three for four from three obviously missed more after the fact but yeah sorry guys H normally I’d Ed that out but we’re live but anyways Colin ston goes 5 for 13 from the field he had a better start to the night he has that scuffle

With Giannis or at least where he taunted Giannis and then Malik Beasley puts his shoulder into him and there’s like a tiny scuffle and then it goes away after that you could tell Colin ston was hyped to like the maximum level he went Super Saiyan overdrive and started not making shots

And I feel like it in two ways it was helpful for the Jazz one the energy from that really seemed to wake the team up they really were just going through the motions this team needs this trade deadline by the way you can tell they are all just waiting to see what happens

Especially the guys who have their names in trade talks are looking not great and they obviously are just wondering what’s going to happen with them and where they’re going and so on and you know this that scuffle uh that that Ruckus that bamboozle whatever you

Want to call it that gave to the Jazz and they absolutely got some energy from that and I think that energy really picked them up and I know in the third quarter they were still down every single time they came close the the Bucks would come back and hit a big

Three or get a you know get a shot or Giannis would get free throws Giannis took 15 free throws tonight and by the way can he hurry it up I know as Jazz fans we probably don’t have a lot of room to talk with how long Carl Malone

Used to take with his free throws so I get it but now I understand why that’s annoying because it’s just like shoot the free throw bounce the ball set your shot shoot it and fire this whole thing is silly it takes forever it’s annoying uh but

Anyways Chris Dunn by the way um the numbers weren’t great and I think you got to recognize when the numbers aren’t perfect although tonight he did have six assists and Chris Don is not going to put up monster scoring numbers he is a defensive guard that moves the ball and

Can do a lot of little things but he plays about 16 to 22 minutes every night it’s crazy every night that’s about where he falls and I think he’s fine with that um we’ll see where this lineups get adjusted once trade deadline passes it kind of I guess depends on

What the jaet get who goes who’s left Etc but it’ll be interesting to see if this guard Duo is still the starters if if Keon just comes off the bench for the rest of the year which seems likely but you never know we shall see but anyways Chris Dunn playing solid minutes he’s

Such a great locker room guy great presence really great um let’s oh Michael Scott fre that’s great that’s actually great uh member for 35 months Robert Hall what are the latest rumors on who gos let’s do it you know I put in the work if you guys are reading SLC dunk great if

You’re not you should be this is the website I manag for ESP Nation you’re welcome go there uh here I wrote this before this show tonight there you go there’s the recap oh look who wrote the preview uh one of my writers could not write tonight so I

Had to do double duty tonight so anyways go read my words I wrote them down go read them uh but anyways here’s one these are NBA trade rumor Utah Jazz and I wrote this I read it all and I listened to it all so I could share it

With you uh Utah Jazz consider Jordan Clarkson Colin ston and kol linic available assets assets this is the latest lest trade rumor this came from hardwood paroxismo big to oh whoops uh let’s see there it is there’s the Tweet uh but anyways uh that comes from uh Hardwood

Him where he says Utah seems to be pursuing upgrades to the roster not reing moves that’s his opinion we’ll see uh but anyways these are the three that are available if someone wants them we know that Jordan Clarkson is connected to uh let’s see we know that Jordan

Clarkson is connected to the Knicks I was going to write another thing but I didn’t want to because I’ve already written like two or three Jordan Clarkson to the Knicks rumors I think that’s the trade I think right now the Knicks are just planning on trading Clarkson but they’re not going to trade

Him now up until trade deadline when they know that’s the best they can get cuz the Knicks have Evan fornier who has like 20 million in expiring and they don’t want to just waste that they’d rather use that to go get a guy and they can get Jordan Clarkson now they could

Trade him again if they it doesn’t work out but that has been the big rumor so far is uh is Jordan Clarkson to the Knicks uh Kelly o linck has been connected to the Boston Celtics um let’s see where was that um yes so Kelly o Lin is on the trade

Block and the biggest thing with him is he is the most sought after jazz player apparently um KO to anybody but frante tonight KO was somebody including Freon he was thank you for the $2 uh dwcb thank you so much um I appreciate it a lot and yeah

Guess what it’s crazy when the ball moves freely and players aren’t icing out other players it’s crazy what happens isn’t it remarkable that your offense runs better if you got have guys willing to pass to anyone on the team and and not not passing to people uh

Anyways seven teams these so this comes from Mark Stein who is locked in um this wasn’t necessarily um him saying these guys but for him to write these names down is interesting because these are all contenders over the apron and he had an interesting um tidbit about contracts

Where it says they will be restricted to pursuing buyout players who are making less than League’s 12.4 million so I think a lot of these guys are hoping the Jazz just buy out Kelly oin because he makes 12.2 which is under that $ 122.4 million threshold which means if the

Jazz bought him out they could sign him I guess I don’t know that I’m not a cap guy so I don’t know that 100% or understand that completely but that’s what it certainly sounds like that I guess that’s a rule anyways the Jazz aren’t doing that the Jazz are

Not going to buy out kol linic and then just let you know Boston or Denver or Golden State or any of these teams pick him up nor do I know if even any of them can if they’re over the cap so how did they do this well they got a trade for

Him and Utah’s probably more than willing to make a trade but they’re going to need um something back so this goes back to the whole lineup decision you know if you trade John Collins to the Clippers you need something back do you get a do you get a guy back in you

Know someone from the Celtics or Golden State or Clippers that can kind of let Walker Kessler start and be a backup center we know that the Jazz went after basketball Paul Reed from the Philadelphia 76ers probably planning for this trade deadline for this exact scenario you know exact so it’s

Interesting so kello linic is one of the most soft sought after and I’ve heard that on multiple pods that he is the guy a lot lot of teams are getting I mean I would be pretty surprised if Kelly oen is still on the Jazz after trade

Deadline he is very likely to be traded Jordan Clarkson there is a good likelihood he gets moved to the New York Knicks it seems like that’s almost a possibility but this latest one is interesting and I’ve heard this multiple places in multiple pods multiple reports Rumor

Mill all that stuff that Colin seon is available if you want him you know they the the Lowry Markin and stuff has really quieted down I think the Jazz have really kind of shut that down and said hey if you want marinin you can but you’re going to have to give us

Absolutely uh ton to get him Dre Zack L mentioned KO to OKC there you there you go another Contender that could get another guy and that that one makes sense because they could use a guy that stretches the floor and can take some of that burden off of Chad hren who looks

Like he’s wearing out you know I wouldn’t be surprised if they trade for Kelly oen just to run chat holen less minutes cuz he you know he has played incredible this year probably rookie of the year although it looks like uh it looks like the Rookie of the Year is far

From over wemi looks like he’s about to take it back but uh they need to give him some rest cuz you don’t want him worn down for his first playoffs you know so someone like Kelly oin could absolutely be great for them uh J Garner 199 thank you Jace I

Appreciate it a ton and thanks for being a member of the channel too uh time for the keante haters to be quiet already yeah we didn’t see a lot of those comments tonight did we did we it’s impressive and surprising and pretty good what happens when the ball moves

And you’re not icing out keontay George right holy smokes you know that play we showed last show and that thing that was on Twitter well guess what we had a play similar similar to that tonight keontay George gets it on the three-point line I believe it was from Kelly o linck he

Doesn’t take the three drives to the basket and scores it put the Jazz within one when they were starting their comeback and it was big time and stuff like that you can’t put up with that that’s craziness uh k ko to anybody but fante DW to CB my man another $2 I appreciate

It my friend so much uh bucks learned what happened when you poked the bull that’s right honestly when uh when Colin ston was standing over uh Giannis ano and he was like mean mugging him basically you know how like Bulls when they’re about to charge and they like

Drag their their their hoof or whatever that’s like what it looked like I honestly yelled in shock and laughed cuz I could not believe the audacity of the absolute audacity of Colin seon to stand over one of the most physically dominant human beings on planet Earth and Colin ston does not care that

Is why I love Colin ston if he gets traded I will be sad because of those reasons he is awesome that mentality is amazing uh Robert Hall of Fame just the 999 don’t ation with the the sunglasses is incredible uh here’s my s s semi-regular keep going Hoops nerd there you go well

Robert Hall of Fame I appreciate the donation immensely the OG Robert Hall of Fame baby um and hopefully your boys doing well with basketball I know you’re looking at um um uh dribble up and comp I highly recommend comp league if your boys and girls are way into basketball

We have a girl on my boys basketball team and she’s awesome um I highly recommend comp league for your kids it takes their game to another level you know Junior jazz is fun if you’re a beginner but you know what when you get in Those comp leagues and you’re playing

Against kids that are getting all the training and stuff you’re you have to rise and you realize how good you have to be and you know it’s just like anything you rise to the level of competition so highly recommend comp League for Kids it’s great if they love

It you know if they love it oh man that was so funny tonight Colin sex him what he did that was incredible anyways I think those are the latest rumors um not a lot else I mean I was listening to Mark Stein I I think really the rumors now and I think

It is interesting the Jazz made an actual offer for Deon Murray and it was just the Jazz and just the Lakers so that’s interesting uh so we’ll see KO to anybody but freon $2 thank you again sir so many thank you seon ano who [Laughter]

Anu by the way I’m a little bit out on Giannis and you know that whole thing with the basketball was kind of weird I’m not going to lie like that’s weird and and the complaints and I get it their coach wasn’t very good this year although they were 30

Something and 13 they’re pretty good you know but I don’t know the long free throw thing is annoying it’s really annoying like I I don’t know it’s whatever I you know I like the Bucks because there are a lot of former jazz guys on there Dames from Weber State Jay

Crowder uh who’s the other one Malik Beasley and so on but uh man all right let’s see should we talk about Walker Kessler Kessler had an awesome night he did 13 points eight rebounds and looked good three blocks it looked like the Kessler from his rookie year he had some nice

Plays and uh it was just nice to see so Walker Kessler was awesome and I tell you what this lineup there was a lineup tonight it was Walker Kesler and it was the lineup that just destroyed the the Bucks and by the way you got to give credit to Will Hardy

Because he ran that lineup until the game was done it was working the Jazz were scorching the Bucks and Hardy just ran with it unlike freaking Quinn Snider who as soon as the Jazz get a run with their bench just has to cut it off because you got to put in the the

Starters uh you know I I tell you what we do prize picks on this Channel I didn’t do the intro I might give it a break for a a week or two but it’s really hard to win on prize picks with Will Hardy because he just changes everything every game he adjusts like

Crazy so you’ll think oh this is going to be an easy pick and you know what keontay George has an awesome night and Colin seon doesn’t play the fourth quarter you know and so that’s just how will hardy does it and these minutes are spread it’s crazy they run a 10-man unit

Legit it’s really great so keante George 20 the ghost of Quin Snider often yes he does by the way I recently out of anger last game got my Petty folder back on Twitter I signed up for the very lowest level which was nice because all my

Tweets that I saved in a petty folder from when I had Twitter blue pre Elon Musk were all there and there were a lot of tweets from a lot of people telling me I was wrong about Quinn Snyder and thinking will hardy was better I have the receipts now I have

Them I might share them we’ll see but I’m not I’m not going to lie that was satisfying 2C uh keontay George tonight and Walker Kessler though together the lineup That was so awesome though was Lowry marinan look at that plus 20 Lowry marinan Walker Kessler keontay George Jordan

Clarkson and was that it let’s see Jordan Clarkson keontay George Walker Kesler and I think they were running Kelly Lin too in that lineup and oh my gosh it it smoked them it really smoked them look at this plus 24 Keon George plus 16 Clarkson plus 10 Walker Kessler

Plus 22 you can see the lineup that did it just from there there you go 20 22 16 10 24 that was the lineup uh Jordan the go best roll 199 love when you smack talk on Snyder and kerr and by the way thank you Jordan for

The donation can all right should we smack talk Quinn snd all I got to do is let’s go here boom Utah Jazz in a apparent rebuild 13 look at this where’s Atlant oh dang below 500 Five Below uh Trey young is on that team can’t seem to find a way to win

Games dog on it who knew well we did we did we were tired of it this thing where you don’t adjust by the way that was that’s the story of the game you know will hardy ran with it this lineup’s working it’s winning let’s go with it until we win the

Game why wouldn’t you do that you know if it’s working if those players have a matchup that they’re crushing go with it don’t interrupt the Rhythm don’t interrupt interrupt the flow you know um Kesler played awesome and you know Jordan Clarkson didn’t even have a great

Night tonight he was three for 11 from the field couldn’t hit a three 12 points the Jazz still win and he’s not a very good Defender uh you know oai played and then Kelly o l shot the ball really well I mean this is honestly a solid night and this is

Why teams are interested in Kelly oin look at this eight points seven rebounds six assists he really does move the ball and so there’s going to be a A team out there that wants him and probably going to have to give a pick for him I would

Love to see the Jazz get a first round pick in this draft since they don’t have any you know convey your pick to OKC but then trade for one back for someone else and then run with young guys next year but anyways the guy that was absolutely that had me so excited was

Look at this Keon George 53% from the field five for n from three he still has those moments where he’s tentative and one thing that I want him to play with is just confidence and it’s hard if you have Jordan Clarkson and Kelly oen not giving you confidence it’s hard to

Overcome that on a basketball floor it’s just hard tonight he you could just see it he’s like I’m going I’m going for it and he had some I know he only had two assists he had some plays where guys were getting open threes from him they were knock not knocking down it was

Awesome he was great tonight and we saw the we saw the full bag uh he didn’t get any free throws tonight even though I he did get fouled on one they didn’t call it but seven for 13 from the field five for n from three he had that one pullup

Three at the top of the three-point line and just was an absolute dagger to the Bucks just took the life out of them those he went on a 60 run by him self that really started all of this uh with those two Corner threes and they were not easy he Sid

Stepped and got the separation and fired when that three-point shot gets more consistent and he’s got the he’s got the catch and shoot three he’s got the pull-up three he’s got the three like the pull-up three within a pick and roll but then when you combine the fact that

He is such a good pick and roll passer and great vision I mean he has the full back bag and this is why I’m not as big on drafting or on trading for dejonte Murray you know I’d say you know what if we’re keeping let’s say Colin ston

Doesn’t get traded run with seon and done but then let keontay George run the show on the second unit gain that confidence and then let him work his way eventually into the starting unit probably next year we shall see but I think he’s ready now the other thing is if Kelly o gets

Traded the thing that will help the ja the most is that Taylor Hendrick is waiting in the wings the first half and watching this game that got me so you know just honestly the first half of this game was a bummer until the Colin seon fight it was like are you kidding

We’re doing this again and you really just go to the Stars Twitter page and you watch Bryce sensah highlights you watch Taylor Hendrick highlights and really the biggest thing I noticed in this game especially in the first half the jzs just don’t have enough defensive Talent on the floor

Playing like they just don’t have enough on the floor and Taylor Hendricks Diego oh Diego are you the one that went to the Stars game today that’s awesome Taylor Hendricks was so good today with the Stars Bryce too that’s awesome uh they need Taylor Hendricks on the

Floor because he is a defensive talent and that’s just something the Jazz need in this last three game stretch I looked at it before the game like and I’ve looked at it before I think we talked about it last show in the last three games the three- game

Losing streak for the Jazz their offense has actually been pretty fine it’s been 14 it’s you know slightly above average but you know 14th in the NBA and offense is like you know if you’re a championship caliber team you’re not happy with that but with a young rebuilding team that’s pretty good but

The Jazz have the number 30 defense in that span like the defense is just putrid it’s terrible and it looked horrible in the first half and you could just tell like they need more defensive Talent they just do I mean how many players you know Walker Kessler is a

Good defensive player Chris Dunn is a good defensive player I actually think Keon is a pretty good defensive player some of the things he was doing tonight uh but he’s not like right now he’s just a rookie outside of them you know marinin was not able to stop Giannis and that’s a heart

No one stops Giannis to be honest but I wouldn’t say lari marinin is anything other than an average Defender Simone fono has moments where he looks pretty good but overall the defensive you know Colin ston is not a very good Defender he puts his heart and soul into it but he’s just

Not very big uh you know and like I said there’s moments where I see Keon do things and I’m like is he a good Defender you know like there were a few moments tonight he even had a nice little stop on Giannis where it’s like

He might be a good Defender you know not just like weakness and stuff like that but like actual good Defender uh Jordan Clarkson’s terrible oai is pretty good it’s just he can’t seem to find minutes on the floor and the other thing by the way this step back three by oai gave me

So much uh Joy so much joy uh you know and Kelly oen is a terrible Defender he’s just not very good he is an offensive player at this point so the Jazz just need that infusion of one guy that can really change things and I bet you what you put

Key Taylor Hendrick on the floor give him you know 16 to 22 minutes a night kind of like what uh Kelly Lin getting and you’re going to see that defensive rating go up and this Jazz bench I mean how fun would this be keontay George Walker Kessler Taylor Hendricks as your

Three main guys running the defense or running the second unit and running the defense I mean how I mean a back court of like think about this this is what gets me really excited and I think the Jazz could absolutely do now that we know Keon can move the ball we have

Colin ston moving the ball better uh you can go with a starting unit eventually and I hope they do this next year to be honest marinan Hendrick Kessler and that’s a spread floor with only one non-shooting big Mr nine welcome to rookie welcome to the channel everyone welcome Mr nine

Thank you my friend for joining the channel uh marinan and Hendrick and Kessler is a big lineup and then you put keonte George on there you probably need a little bit more playmaking from the number two spot so that’s probably where the Jazz really need to find uh what

They can do which is probably why you look at someone like Deonte Murray uh but anyways I think that that is an interesting lineup and I think it could be good and I think it’s what they’re going to run next year to be honest we’ll see what happens post Trad trade

Deadline we don’t know who’s going to be on the Jazz and who’s not but I absolutely think Taylor Hendricks is ready to start getting those bench units and eventually work his way up you know to starter level so I’m excited about that I really would like to see that uh Diego it

Sounds like uh Hendrick was awesome tonight let’s see Taylor Hendricks was so good today with the Stars how exciting I mean honestly in his moments he’s been with the Jazz he’s been good I remember um so SLC dunk I used to have a really good contact with the Stars I

Used to text him about things I actually have the old coach’s number in my phone I asked I uh but I used to go cover some of the stars games and I interviewed um Jo what was his name Jerell Brantley by the way interviewing players is the most overrated thing there is it’s

Like they do not want to talk to you you know it’s like the last thing they want to do uh especially in the g- league they just want to go home they don’t care they you know and uh but anyways I used to see Jerell Brantley just Crush people I want to the

Nice thing that we’ve SE like he would turn the ball over like crazy and that was one of his big problems and there were some other issues consistency shooting and and who knows what else but he would crush guys in the g-league sometimes like oh my gosh this

Guy has such and that’s why I was like get him on the Jazz and then it wasn’t quite there and also Quin Snider sucks so uh who knows if he could have been better but anyways uh Taylor Hendrick it’s nice to see him doing well in the

G- league but we’ve seen him do well in the like we’ve seen all the flashes like every time in the floor it’s like it’s like dropping water and hot oil you see these these little flashes and Sparks and you know it’s only a matter of time before that really turns into

Something nice and and he just needs minutes on the floor and so I just you know we don’t have a sports book in Utah but if I did I would put put money on Kelly o get him moved I’ll just say that I would just say that uh a r a member

  1. Clarksen was so good at running the offense in the fourth. Wish he always would pass more and stop shooting so much when he is off.

  2. john collins and markkanen happened too, they were also awesome
    + loved when KG put this corner 3 pointer after screen from W Kessler. that was smooth

  3. Keyonte is gonna be so good. just needs to let the game come to him like he did tonight.

  4. The jazz brass with Ainge have all time great poker faces. Nobody knows what they will do and it seems like the media is just guessing 😂

  5. just noticed, how jazz was winning the game on the glass.. usually 2 guys were boxing out the bucks bigs, and the ball was collected by guards (usually K. George). he got 10 rebounds, none was contested. a masterpiece.
