We are in win mode now. Last year we were in development mode.

Keep in mind, Taylor Hendricks, the alternative selection to Jarace which was picked 9th, has played all of 2 minutes this season. G league regular.

He was back on the bench at the conclusion of last game.

Obi should stop shooting. Dunks only.

Benn is trying to fit in, be unselfish and it’s affected who he is. He has improved his passing, defending and rebounding. I’ve actually been happy with these improvements but wish he was able to be a larger piece offensively. He clearly works hard and cares. Give him time to settle into this new role.

Shaq bad, Darius very good

Jarace head appears to be spinning. Admittedly it’s waaaay early but he has really struggled in 3 of 4 games and clearly hasn’t performed well in practice since he’s not in the rotation.

I would expect a top 10 pick on a team that has been under .500 to play and develop, so it’s concerning.

BUT, the PF alternative at that point in the draft was Taylor Hendricks and he played 2 mins for the Jazz.

Gotta be calm and hope that J-Walk figures it out.
