I liked him but ideally he's an energy guy off the bench not a starter

[QUOTE]It’d also give the Jazz a bonafide scorer to pair with Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson, giving the Salt Lake City crew a shot at winning the west with arguably the best-scoring trio in the league. Sure, the defense will suck, but you’ll see a lot of 120+ point games from the Jazz, so that’s something.

[QUOTE]What makes Allen really unique as a player is that he has the dribbling and passing to be able to play the point guard position, and if the team lands Herro or wants to role with Clarkson as the starting two-guard, Allen would be able to fit in seamlessly alongside either player.

why not? If Lavine and The Bum are pgs! :D

[url]https://thejnotes.com/2023/09/26/zach-lowe-pitches-wild-starting-lineup-for-the-utah-jazz/[/url]
[QUOTE][URL="https://thejnotes.com/2023/09/21/way-jordan-clarkson-doesnt-start-sg-utah-jazz-starts-pg/"]He’s a starting caliber guard[/URL], and both MacMahon and Lowe agree, but you need a lineup around him that brings out his best, and that’s why Agbaji doesn’t work. He’s a shooter, who can play some solid defense but he doesn’t fit next to Clarkson and the other starting three. Someone has to set up the offense and it won’t be Kessler or Collins. If Agabji is the guy you want to start, you have to sit Clarkson.
[/QUOTE]
Agbaji is the only one that makes sense at the 2. The Bum at the one is ridiculous. He's ridiculous period

[QUOTE]More than likely the [URL="https://thejnotes.com/2023/09/17/collin-sexton-trade-idea-team-needs-playoff-push/"]log jam of possibilities will be cleared up sooner r[/URL]ather than later, making the pick far more obvious, but until then we’re left really picking between Clarkson, Sexton, and Olynyk.

George not Olynyk
[QUOTE] In just about every way, Ryan Smith is the antithesis of the typical NBA owner. [URL="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38496656/inside-utah-jazz-bold-new-tv-plan"]He frequently sports a backward baseball cap, including in a recent Zoom interview with ESPN. At 45, he’s young enough to still get on the court and play basketball, as he did in a shooting contest with Utah Jazz coach Will Hardy last week[/URL].

too old to be wearing the oversized baseball hat. Thought he looked like an idiot before he ever owned the team.
[QUOTE] And he’s the rare person who grew up rooting for a team as a child and then went on to have the business success that allowed him to purchase that same team as an adult, as both he and NBA commissioner Adam Silver have pointed out. [URL="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38496656/inside-utah-jazz-bold-new-tv-plan"]All of that, Smith says, helped him decide that the best thing for his franchise moving forward was to bring Jazz games back to over-the-air broadcasts on local channel KJZZ, in addition to a subscription service to stream the games, beginning with the 2023-24 season[/URL].

“I was a fan,” Smith told ESPN from his office overlooking the courts inside the team’s Salt Lake City practice facility last week. “Like, I know the problem [of] going, ‘Why is my game blacked out? Why am I dealing with this? Why can’t I get my game? I’m on the road traveling somewhere. Why is this so complex? Where’s my streaming option? Is it League Pass?’ [URL="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/38496656/inside-utah-jazz-bold-new-tv-plan"]“To be honest, it was just a ton of friction. And second, I believe that the RSNs, and the local cable, there’s going to be a lot of movement in that area, and I personally don’t think the Jazz need to be part of that roller coaster.”[/URL]

[QUOTE]The problem that we think gets overlooked, is that offensively, there isn’t much difference between Sexton and the aforementioned Jordan Clarkson. Sexton is younger and less expensive and provides the same skillset as Clarkson. Not only that, but there’s nothing to say the Jazz won’t run both men at the same time, or[URL="https://thejnotes.com/2023/09/26/the-utah-jazzs-sixth-man-pick-is-beyond-obvious-for-anyone-paying-attention/"] stagger one as the team’s sixth man.[/URL]

huge difference. One can play the other sucks

No matter how bad you may think it is it's a lot better than it was with Mitchell giving 0 effort at that end. Sexton has physical limitations but he plays hard at least
[url]https://thejnotes.com/2023/09/28/utah-jazz-are-picked-to-be-the-sixth-seed-in-the-nbas-western-conference/[/url]
we'll see. Without Conley at the 1 they have problems
[url]https://thejnotes.com/2023/09/28/starting-collin-sexton-over-kris-dunn-would-be-a-mistake-for-the-utah-jazz/[/url]
[QUOTE]Sexton may be better off the bench, there’s certainly reason to believe that, but there’s also reason to believe that the team may move him as well. It’s really unclear what Sexton’s future with the Jazz looks like at the moment, but assuming Sexton does stay, Chiesa believes he’ll start alongside Jordan Clarkson, Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, and Walker Kessler.
Then, according to the former coach, we’d have bench players including Kris Dunn, Ochai Agbaji, Talen Horton-Tucker, Taylor Hendricks, and Kelly Olynyk.
[/QUOTE]
Based on what we saw last year Talen is a 1 and despite some big games from him I'd put him behind 3 other guys there. You may have forgotten he wasn't in the rotation until they traded away a bunch of guys. Hard to imagine George not being at least a backup after summer league. Dunn was great but I'm not convinced he will play. Might not even make the team! Agbaji should start. The Bum off the bench until he's traded. Samanic could be in the mix as well
[url]https://thejnotes.com/2023/09/28/the-utah-jazz-should-seriously-consider-going-after-jrue-holiday/[/url]
[QUOTE]No, the reason Holiday was moved was because the Bucks needed to match salaries with the Blazers and Lillard. That’s it, no other reason. He’s still a valuable guard, and can still make an impact on a team to land him, and that’s why the Utah Jazz should seriously consider going after the two-way player.
[/QUOTE]
maybe he was moved because they replaced him with someone else? :facepalm
[QUOTE]Not only that but for the Utah Jazz specifically, Holiday provides everything they’re lacking at point guard. He can lead an offense, he’s a good passer and his defense has made him one of, if not the best defensive guard in the league.
[/QUOTE]
not a shooter and not on their timeline. Yet to hear they want him but he'd certainly be a big pickup
[url]https://thejnotes.com/2023/09/28/the-utah-jazz-may-not-worry-about-having-a-conventional-point-guard/[/url]
[QUOTE]The team has options, none that fortify the position but everyone has seemingly been tossed about. Jordan Clarkson,[URL="https://thejnotes.com/2023/09/26/the-utah-jazzs-sixth-man-pick-is-beyond-obvious-for-anyone-paying-attention/"] Collin Sexton[/URL], Talen Horton-Tucker, [URL="https://thejnotes.com/2023/09/26/keyonte-george-may-utah-jazzs-breakout-rookie-year/"]rookie Keyonte George[/URL], Kris Dunn, and even Johnny Juzang have been mentioned a time or two. But none of them is the complete package. Most, save for Dunn and maybe George actually pass, and so far, only Dunn plays good defense.
[/QUOTE]
Sexton looks like a modern pg to me. Learned a lot from Conley. Injuries would be my worry with him. The job is George's. Just a matter of time. Can Dunn continue to hit open shots? Can Talen hit shots consistently and set up his teammates? Can The Bum not suck? Juzang? :roll:
[QUOTE]It’s also fair to say that this affects Ochai Agbaji’s starting position at shooting guard, a position that many have rumored he’d have due to his shooting and defense. But if the goal is to have multiple ball-handlers to take the ball up the court, then that would presumably leave Agbaji to serve as a backup for Lauri Markkanen and Clarkson.
[/QUOTE]
having a couple ball handlers is only reason I can see not starting Agbaji but he can bring the ball up court too
