no dont you know, you have to judge a rookie based on his first 3 games of his career, anything after that doesnt fit your narrative is irrelevant

Utah has to figure out the roster. Too many guys haven’t played meaningful basketball for years, now they have the chance to show something and they shit the bed. Darryn is the future of the franchise that’s for sure. They have to make his life easier though. Markkanen is just not the guy. The big rotation is atrocious, other than nurkic no one is actually capable of starting as a center, the guards are ball dominant, the wings are jacks of all trades master of none. Ace and darryn deserve a better shot in the following years

His bag is just so advanced for a player his age, looks like a 10-year vet

Somebody the other day said he’s the only non-star of the top 4 lol. Insane

I’ve just come to realise that the internet is such a big place now that a minority is still so many people. The people that seemed to be praying on DPs downfall only a week ago was just crazy, but I think anyone with half a brain cell realised that you can’t judge a rookie 10 games into their career. He was playing as a 4th option for the first part of the season. He is just so smooth. The “he takes too many floaters” crowd to me was insane haha. They were good shots not falling.

Same thing is happening to AJ right now. Behind people in the pecking order, not getting the usage. People shouldn’t be writing him off either but of course their will be a minority pretending they actually know ball

Guy looks like Kawhi out there

Breaking news: Rookies have ups and downs, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and fans are talking.

Oh he’s a baller

People labeling picks as, “bad” because of early season struggles in their rookie year is insane. People were saying similar things about Cooper Flagg after his slow start.

These draft classes need to chill out Jesus

stud

It was definitely expected, I think writing him off after not even a quarter of a season is just so extreme. At the same time that’s just the internet.Super happy to see him find his rhythm, but I am interested to see how their backcourt shapes out in the future

stopped sitting him in the corner like he’s a role player or something. finally Bill Hardy lets him cook

torched the hell out of us in the 3rd q yesterday jeez

My favorite prospect from the draft. I’m just confused on why the jazz are so bad.

Think hes been getting like 3 blocks a game too

D Petey>>>> AJ. THAT was such a dumb move by the Wizards. But Wiz gonna Wiz lol 😂

And the Wizards selected Dybantsa LOL

Dybantsa is nowhere close to him, boozer and Yaxel in the ROTY. Future number 1 bust?

I really thought Utah would be much better

30.1 USG% over these last 5 games, with the Jazz having an average losing margin of 11 points, having lost all 5 of the games.

The conditions which allow him to have so many touches using these games - namely their bigs being out - are also what’s stopping the Jazz from winning or coming closer to it.
