But also, what was that game?

All right, Andrew, it is time once again for the Wheel of Fandom, the weekly segment where we spin a wheel, it lands on a team, and we become fans of that team for the next week.

And last week, the wheel landed on the Utah Jazz, who I would say had a pretty fun week.

The Jazz won their first two games, beating Memphis and Dallas, before losing a competitive game to the Lakers, despite not having Laurie Markkinen.

Over the three games, Keontae George scored 110 points, including a career-high 39 in the win over the Grizzlies.

Per Cleaning the Glass, the 10 and 16 Jazz have the 19th-ranked offense and 29th-ranked defense.

Andrew, if the Jazz are our favorite team, who is our guest today?

Yeah.

I want to ask you about Ace Bailey because his role has been steadily increasing since the early season.

There's been plenty of flashes as an off-ball movement shooter, which was kind of the sell on him going into the draft.

What have you thought about the rest of his game and what are your expectations for how the Jazz are going to explore his game the rest of the season?

Are you expecting to see more heavy on-ball minutes with him?

How hard is it to judge defense on this team?

I think they're 29th, I said, in defense.

And Ace Bailey kind of had that reputation like, oh, this guy's going to be a pretty good defender one day.

What have you seen on that end from him?

Yeah, it is really interesting, though, because like in past seasons, they had veterans that they could offload like there was like other things you could do to tank.

And now they've gotten to this point where it really is just the young guys.

And so they are just going to have to sit the more or like you said, play Cody Williams more.

Which I have a question kind of related to him because beyond guys like Keontae George, Ace Bailey, Flip, the Jazz have a ton of young guys that I don't know what to do with just yet.
