can't be that much fun for you having to pass the ball
[QUOTE] The Jazz lack starpower — although Mitchell trade piece Lauri Markkanen (21.8 points, 9.4 rebounds) and Utah leftover Jordan Clarkson (17.9 points, 5.3 assists) are thriving in larger roles, putting up the best numbers of their careers. Opponents and scouts rave about how hard and selflessly this mishmash roster plays for Hardy.

Ricky Rubio: On a professional level I have had and still have a great team by my side, especially a physical therapist since the first day I got injured who has been at my disposal, another physical trainer, the coach, friends too… they are people to whom I am very grateful.

Potter, Cook and Alkins looked good in their opening win
[URL="https://www.deseret.com/2022/11/8/23448728/lauri-markkanen-enjoying-proving-doubters-wrong-utah-jazz"]Lauri Markkanen on getting traded to Utah: “Unexpected. It was a shock. It took me a couple hours to kind of process and just really think about what’s gonna happen.[/URL] But then the kinda things calm down and you get around the idea that you’re moving to Utah and then I’m just excited for the opportunity. You see the guys that they have and the staff that they have. So I think just pretty quickly turned into what we can do with this group of guys.”

[QUOTE]You don’t trade two all-stars during an offseason and get better. That’s what the Jazz’s early start suggests, but it’s false hope.
[/QUOTE]
change coaches and you might though which is why I thought it was ridiculous saying the Jazz hit their ceiling not knowing what a coach that might actually make adjustments in the playoffs would do. I'd love to see Gobert playing with a hard working unselfish group
[QUOTE]And for as good as the Jazz has been this season, it’s difficult to say that there are any foundational building blocks currently on the roster. Can you buy Lauri Markkanen’s hot start? He’s 25 years old and has not broken out as a star. We’re supposed to believe that he’s one now? I’m sorry but that’s difficult to believe for me.
[/QUOTE]
yep and we know Clarkson sucks
[QUOTE]Jordan Clarkson has been great to start the year but he’s already 30 years old and there’s a good chance he’s already played the best basketball of his career.
[/QUOTE]
and his best was awful
[QUOTE]The Jazz has been a good story so far this season but the franchise needs to keep its eye on the prize and not fall in love with this false hope. I’m not sure what the front office is waiting for but it’s time for them to cash in on some of these players that they know are not going to be building blocks for the future. Before they mess around and fall right back into NBA purgatory.
[/QUOTE]
at least give me Clarkson please!
In July, Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid got French citizenship, but his future with the national team of France was in doubt when he later gained US papers. Despite that, the general manager of the Blues Boris Diaw, who earlier stated that Thomas Heurtel is not scratched, still believes that the Cameronian-born player will play for France. “There has been no development since the last time we spoke. [URL="https://www.eurohoops.net/en/national-teams/1416903/diaw-confident-embiid-will-play-for-france/"]The American nationality was something we knew for quite some time. It’s more to make his living in the United States easier”, Diaw said, and with a resounding “Yes” he confirmed his beliefs[/URL].

[QUOTE]Now at 10-3, the Jazz are running out of questions that need to be answered.
Markkanen was brilliant once again as he continues to show he’s elevated his game to an All-Star level.
[/QUOTE]
still early. Haven't really beaten anyone that hasn't been hurt or whatever
[QUOTE]As long as Markkanen, Conley, and Clarkson continue their stellar play, and the supporting cast carries it’s share of the load, the Jazz will keep having success, and the wins shouldn’t come as a surprise.[/QUOTE]
there's absolutely no reason to think Clarkson won't start sucking. He's the streakiest guy in the league. Ainge needs to sell high. Conley is old
[QUOTE]Rudy Gay has struggled so far this season, and Udoka Azubuike has yet to prove he’s a consistent NBA player.
[/QUOTE]
actually he did for those 18 or so games he started last year. Rather he fits into what Hardy wants remains to be seen
