It's pretty cool to see something that started as a fun hobby a few years ago result in getting published in the @sltrib NBA writing remains just a fun hobby for me, but I'm pretty excited about this! Thanks for all the support @danclayt0n sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20…

@solelyme06 @Tjonesonthenba Yeah and he's said he's cool with that role for now.

@Tjonesonthenba Isn’t Dylan Harper currently coming off the bench?

@Tjonesonthenba My concern is that he won't be able to break out of the siakam, DeRozan tier without a better 3 ball. If he can get to 35 off the bounce with 4-5 attempts a game I think he's golden.

For starters saying he can’t shoot is inaccurate. He’s very good from mid range.

Did we forget what the F stands for?

@Tjonesonthenba AJ is a much bigger risk.. defense isn't there and neither is the shot. Huge upside if he pans out... But DP has a much clearer path, all the skills, and just a more complete package.

Yeah I’m not seeing any risk with Darryn at all

Is an AJ to siakam comp crazy? I think it might be right and I haven't seen that talked about.

@Dunzod @jayjazz3 @AJ3Jazz @rgiss11 Yup. The concerns over him at this point feel fabricated, the same way the Ace concerns were. He's a tier above AJ imo, he's a more complete player with a higher ceiling. AJ has an incredible ceiling, but is still raw in some ways, and flawed in a few others.

I think @jayjazz3, @AJ3Jazz & @rgiss11 have pushed me towards wanting Darryn Peterson over every other prospect in this draft 🫣

@rgiss11 AJs shooting is an issue. He can create, so he's more than just a pure scorer... But DP is just eally really special man. People getting clouded by this past year

@tjcranman 100%

Peterson had 5 dunks in the McDonalds All American game. He had 9 in 700 minutes all year. So clearly was affected by a (now totally manageable) high level of creatinine + creatine usage. Still put up the best BPM from a freshman guard since 2008 lol.

@Tjonesonthenba Everyone always talks about lottery pick trading like it's just so easy to trade up and take whoever you want 😅

No need to

@Tjonesonthenba People are not realizing Ace was playing the 2 intentionally as part of his development plan and bc of Jazz roster. But if jazz are truly modeling his development after KD and JT, he's always been a 3 long-term.

Darryn would start over the other shooting guards on the roster. Ace is not a shooting guard

@5kl I didn't even finish the episode. Shut it down mid-scene and haven't picked it up since.

I read the comic and knew what was coming. Crazy that so many including myself stopped watching after this. But then it still went on for twenty thousand more seasons.

The tip of Long Island looks familiar

@UESP_net Wake up, you were dreaming. What's your name?

What's the very first quote from The Elder Scrolls that comes to your mind? Don't give it any more thought, just post it as a reply please. Very curious to see what it'll be!

@k_clayt Next we are gonna see "NBA is discussing a new format to disencentivize tanking where the draft order will be determined according to record. Top seed gets #1 pick, and so on"

Unintended consequences: Teams tank the play-in to become a top seed for the #1 pick. Hell, in a given year, maybe a 6th seed even tanks into & out of the play-in for the same reason. Wherever you draw the line, teams will try to cross it if the potential benefit is big enough.

@Tjonesonthenba Find a run? I know of a couple

Anybody hooping in Phoenix tonight or tomorrow morning?

@k_clayt @FollowingAlong8 I sort of think that Ja as a running mate has not been ideal for him, but he's always described as a reserved and authentic teammate. I think he will thrive with Lauri.

@FollowingAlong8 I know who JJJ is, I just haven't felt like he has progressed as much in recent years as he should have.

Starting to come around on this trade. They just got a 2-time All-Star with some playoff experience, and the best player they gave up is a rookie. Also gave up 3 firsts, but two are in a less valuable 2027 draft, and the other could be about anything. We'll see.

@RyanAston @20th_Centurygal How is this even a real question lol

@20th_Centurygal Beatles, and it's not close

Which band had the greater influence on rock music overall: The Beatles or Led Zeppelin? Influence, not personal preference.

what a moron

@SamJud_17 @k_clayt @hallsrh I brought up the protected draft pick at my weekly ball run and all the guys there were flummoxed. Had no idea about it.

@k_clayt @hallsrh Sometimes I envy Jazz fans I see at home games that have no idea what is going on with tanking

A Mavs fan on the concourse saw my shirt & said "Sorry for the loss."
