[QUOTE]Before Tuesday’s game the Jazz rookie was just 2-9 from beyond five feet, including a slightly concerning 2-8 from 5-9 feet.
[/QUOTE]
it shouldn't be. Shot 3's in college. Has nice form

just stupid. If a 34% shooter wants to take 10 3's a game you let him!
[QUOTE][URL="http://NBA.com"]NBA.com[/URL] defines “very tight” shots as shot attempts with a defender 0-2 feet away from the shooter. Jordan Clarkson’s greatest NBA attribute is his lack of fear of any shot, so it’s no surprise that he ranks fourth in the NBA in “very tight” three-point attempts, behind only CJ McCollum, Stephen Curry, and Anfernee Simons. Logically, the more threes you take with a defender close to you, the more often you’ll get fouled on said three-point attempts. Clarkson gets some of these fouls because his defenders are right on top of him, and he decides to shoot anyway.

low BB IQ. All those other guys can actually shoot

[QUOTE]It makes sense that Utah would want a 1st round pick in the deal. Something like Vanderbilt for Collins straight across would make sense, but Beasley, if he’s getting this kind of attention from other teams, warrants a nice 1st round pick to make this equal on both sides.
[/QUOTE]
the pick is more for taking on 3 years of Collins contract I'd think

[QUOTE]Walker Kessler remains one of the biggest steals in the Rudy Gobert trade. Added as a throw-in, Kessler is doing a really good job of replacing the former Jazz center. In the first half alone, Kessler had 5 blocks and 7 total for the game. He also grabbed 13 points, and 9 rebounds, including an enormous rebound after Collin Sexton missed 2 big free throws at the end of the game to seal it. Kessler looks like a future DPOY at center and has soft hands and touch around the rim. He also looks like a dominant rebounder and could be a force for the Jazz for years to come. Every time you think he’s about to hit a rookie wall, he gets better.
[/QUOTE]
I doubt they considered a 1st rounder a throw in. Besides the unprotected 1sts I's say he was the key to the trade. The other guys were salaries to match
[QUOTE]Finally, the Jazz don’t win this without Collin Sexton, who had a great night. Sexton was 7/12 from the field and [SUP]2[/SUP]⁄[SUB]3[/SUB] from three, with a monster shot at the end of the game to put this one away. Sexton has flaws, often getting tunnel vision on offense, but he brings a lot to the table with his intensity. Whatever game it is, whatever night, you know that Sexton will bring 110% energy, and those are the types of guys you want on the floor when things go bad.
[/QUOTE]
type of guys you should want on your team but the Jazz have never seemed to think so
