like can we please just not?

Nasty

My favorite thing about watching Ace so far this year

Sheesh

Keyonte's averaging 10 attempts in the paint (at the rim and in the short mid range), with 2.7 of those being shooting fouls. He's finishing at 63% FG and 73% TS.

Keyonte reads Holland's rotation perfectly and nails the kick to Svi

Hendricks sweeps from the corner to take away the cutter, calls for Svi to scram, Nurkic in the way and just still a ways away from seamless communication

slide tackle for the lead

I love him

I disagree. These are the last 7 turnovers of the season for him. Most of the time it's him getting overaggressive, sometimes that's jumping at the basket and trying to fix it when he knows the shot isn't there, sometimes it's trying an advanced passing window and underestimating the defense.

I also think by far the most underrated aspect of his game is his strength offensively. He does this like 2-3x per game!

I've never loved the Kelly comp, almost exclusively because the difference in strength is a grand canyon

Oh my god.

Hendricks takes two defenders with him and clears the lane, Nurkic frees Brice up coming down hill, Brice has a 1:1 with John Collins in the midrange. Ace wide open.

Also I love Brice's low gather. He's had it in his bag for a while but good luck not fouling on the dig.

Just the thought of a Kessler screen/handoff is a fun way to toy with space

- The Jazz had 60(!) potential assists, only behind OKC in their opener. They also led the league in pass to assist % at 13%

- Terrible help defense here, but c'mon. Flip is a dude
