But then when you kind of peel the layers back a little bit, the truth is that he's small and either can't shoot, doesn't shoot, or is scared to shoot.

And...

small and can't shoot as a point guard is just not someone who's going to be on a team that's actually trying to win playoff games.

And then if you're, you know, Walter Clayton Jr., opportunity hasn't been there yet to show me that I should bet on him for anything long-term.

And I described the Taylor Hendricks and Bryce Sensabaugh conundrum.

So yeah, I think there's a lot of the guys on this team right now who don't

don't realize the really golden opportunity they have with the jazz because were they on another team, they would have been waived.

20 27 now um and so you know we're we're in his prime we're we're there and so if you if you want to use him and not waste him like now's the time to go i think that the jazz being kind of handcuffed by this okc pick the last few years has forced them into this situation a little bit that being said like

Sure.

Sure.

Yeah.

That being said, the Jazz do have a history of not really giving into those demands.

Whether or not they can find a partner that'll do the same remains to be seen.

So building through the draft is a must.

With all of that in mind...

they would love to try and go for it starting next season.

So like this summer, if they can like get some pieces in where they really feel like they're going to try and win games, I expect for them to think that's going to happen.

And then what I kind of think is possible is that they try to win games and then once January rolls around, they evaluate, are we still a bad team?

And if they are, then they can always pull the rug out and tank again.

Sometimes there are nights where it feels like, man, there are some scrappy guys on this team.
