Jazz center Walker Kessler’s performance on Friday marked the only 20-and-10 performance by an NBA rookie off the bench this season. He was also the first Jazz rookie to pull 20-and-10 off the bench since the 1982-83 season — 18 years and change before the big man was born.

not even the Mailman!

I was near the Wolves bench, and you could see Gobert enjoyed the video and then waived to the fans. It was nice to see the Jazz organization do an excellent job of welcoming one of the Jazz greats back and showing him that appreciation. As I watched, I couldn’t help but think that it’s very likely Gobert will have a jersey in the rafters at some point, and rightfully so.

Likely? Should be a statue

"I don't know what it is about Argentina, but every Argentinian that I've ever been around is an absolute crazy person and competes every possession like it's the last possession of their life. And Leo does that. His energy from the second he steps on the floor is contagious to the group. I think he's somebody for everybody to pay attention to moving forward. He spends a bunch of time in the G League right now to try to get a lot of game minutes but his fire, his mental makeup, his passion for the game is what we're looking for in our program."

he probably won't be in your program long. I like him

With Conley slowly working his way back from injury, Alexander-Walker’s more natural playmaking abilities seem to have given him the edge in the rotation at the moment.

Nickeil should have been ahead of him all along I'd think. Get rid of the bum and they can both play

He’s yet to show he’s a threat with the ball in his hands, but his recent shooting is a good sign for his future. If he can prove to be a weapon on the defensive end, it’ll go a long way toward seeing the floor more regularly.

needs to start showing a lot more with the Stars than he has. Bolmaro too but he's probably not going to be around

I think that is ok, to a point. But, you can’t put your trust in a player, long-term, if the execution is missing. Eventually, intent isn’t going to be enough.

and yet here we are having to watch the shit show better known as Jordan Clarkson

But Alexander-Walker, much like the other Jazz players who were on the court with him on Saturday, does not have a lot of experience closing games in clutch situations. The Jazz weren’t able to get a really good look in the final moments of the game with a chance to tie, and Alexander-Walker had to take a deep 3 that came up short.

Clarkson never gets a good look especially at the end of quarters but again here we are with m,any more yars apparently of watching that crap

In his play with the Stars, the Jazz’s G-League affiliate, he’s also struggled, fouling and turning the ball over a lot.

that's the biggest worry. After 4 years of college and being a lottery pick he has to be one of the best players down there

It would be really, really great if he was also an outside threat, because that would open his game up a lot, but that doesn’t seem to be the case right now. Defensively, Bolmaro has the kind of body that would allow him to be pesky and to get around screens but he gets caught hard on them. Though, it’s kind of hard to have really developed a feel for that when you aren’t playing in very many competitive games.

needs to be better with the Stars as well not that he's probably part of their future
