[QUOTE][h=1]There's a push to start Collin Sexton over Keyonte George and that might be the right call[/h][/QUOTE]
He should start over The Bum. Dunn should start over George

[QUOTE]But look: the Celtics can “monitor” Olynyk all they want, to use Marc Stein’s term. The reality is that the new second apron rules make an Olynyk-to-Boston deal extremely unlikely. In order to bring in Olynyk, the Celtics would need to to send out at least $11.086M in salary. Doing that without sending one of their top six would literally require a 5-for-1 trade, and Utah isn’t going to waive a third of their roster to make a trade happen just so they can employ Svi Mykhailiuk for half a season.

depends on how many picks are involved

[QUOTE]According to PBP Stats, the Jazz are winning by a whopping 20.07 points in the 127 minutes Kessler and Dunn have shared the court. It’s intriguing if we’ll see more of them inserted by Coach Hardy in different units moving forward.
[/QUOTE]
Dunn likely won't play tonite and Kessler will still be coming off the bench with Ochai in limited minutes :facepalm

[QUOTE]The squad is finally getting their groove after collecting five wins in the last seven games to hold a 12-18 record. Good news is today might be the return of guards Keyonte George and Talen Horton-Tucker to the lineup. Coinciding with that is the fine play of Kris Dunn recently, tallying a total of 23 assists the past two games. Intriguing how Coach Hardy will rotate his guards.
[/QUOTE]
Not much doubt. Huge minutes for his fave, none for Dunn and limited for the others

Dunn won't play tonite. Sexton will be back to inconsistent minutes

nice try but the main reason is injuries and Hardy having to play guys he doesn't like instead of his faves like The Bum
[url]https://thejnotes.com/posts/the-utah-jazz-are-clearly-better-off-without-talen-horton-tucker-01hjs3z75ts5[/url]
Talen 23 The Bum old. One sucks. One has upside :facepalm

[QUOTE][B]2. Jordan Clarkson: [/B]Placing Clarkson at #2 is controversial because this is Clarkson’s worst statistical year with the Jazz. Clarkson is shooting at a poor clip and for some games has played with no energy and had bad body language. That being said, the Jazz are far more likely to win when Clarkson has a good game. Clarkson is still the Jazz’s best guard because of his mix of being able to self-create and ability to find others for open looks. At this point, no other player on the team can create like Clarkson. What Clarkson brings to the table is a discount version of a star like Zach LaVine or Bradley Beal. The Jazz desperately need a player to fill the self-creating star guard role and Clarkson, despite his flaws, is the best player to fill that role. [/QUOTE]

more likely he'll be traded

[QUOTE]No matter the fact that the Jazz are better with him on the bench. No matter the fact that Collins is struggling to play well, or even put in any real effort. Collins has fallen so far from his expectations this offseason that it doesn't make sense to still put him over the likes of Kelly Olynyk.
[/QUOTE]
3 bigs makes no sense. Start Agbaji

no thanks

[QUOTE]But that may speak more to the competent players surrounding him than strictly Talen’s on court contributions. Talen successfully commands competent units. This may point to why Will Hardy (who’s been unapologetic in his intentions to win every game) has regularly found opportunities for THT.
[/QUOTE]
yet he thinks The Bum is his best player! :facepalm
[QUOTE]It’s not readily understood why this is. Many other duos struggle with Markkanen and Dunn’s only other pairing worth noting is with Ochai Agbaji. More investigation is needed into what is contributing to its success (could just be shooting luck or opponent strength).
[/QUOTE]
their best defender and playmaker. Not too hard to figure.

[QUOTE][h=1]No Utah Jazz player is more inconsistent from night to night than Jordan Clarkson[/h][/QUOTE]
I'd say he's been one of their most consistent since they got him. Sucks almost always. Hard to beat that

be funny if Hayward came back. Fans still boo him :facepalm

no one is untouchable if you can trade Gobert
