Will the Utah Jazz’s young trio become cornerstones or trade assets? Leif Thulin breaks down the potential of Keyonte George, Taylor Hendricks, and Brice Sensabaugh. George’s future as a sixth man, Hendricks’ defensive upside post-injury, and Sensabaugh’s sharpshooting are all under the microscope. Thulin sets clear goals for each player, from George’s three-point accuracy to Hendricks’ block and steal averages. Can Sensabaugh’s elite shooting overcome his defensive limitations? The answers could shape the Jazz’s rebuild strategy. Discover how these third-year players fit into Will Hardy’s plans and what they need to do to secure their spots in Utah’s rotation.

Yo
Can’t wait to see key chuck up a 1000 shots and shoot 23% for the 3rd straight year he is awesome and don’t forget he don’t play any defense I love his game
I know Ace can play to the two guard but that really shouldn't be his main position. It really needs to be the 3. Keyonte & Brice are going to be battling it out for the two Guard spot. Have you heard something from the Jazz that they look at Ace as a Shooting Guard instead of a Small Forward?
Also I think it's still a bit early to look at Key as a 6th man. Let's see how he performs this season. For me it's between him and Brice and one of them has to average over 20 ppg in order to start at the two guard. If Keyonte can't do that as well as Brice then I would go for Key as the 6th man and trade Brice. But we need to see how this season goes.
I would love to see Ace as a 2, but think he would need to significantly improve his handle and playmaking. Right now he’s a 3, but could also see him as a 4 in the future as he gets stronger and puts on weight.
Nice video Leif, appreciate the work
Ace is more a 3, maybe stretch 4. Brice and Key are 2's, with Key being better iso, albeit inefficient as of now. Brice if he can be passable defensively, becomes your 6th man scorer
Walt, Ace, Lauri, Flip, Kessler. Is my starting 5. Maybe Collier earns it back with better shooting. Maybe Hendricks proves his defense can get him in starting 5. Not picking Matas was a huge fail. Lets hope we didn’t miss on Jakucionis. Flip is the best young player on the Jazz, aside from Ace and Kessler, until someone proves otherwise.
Im a big Pacer fan. But been starting to become a fan of the Jazz. This team should be great. Im hoping the young guys all take a step
Leaf I like you, but you're being delusional. There's no way that nurkich starts over Kessler. Also, Ace is not a two and I could easily see sensabaugh start
Nice video and I agree. Keyonte will still have to improve efficiency but just going against every team's "B" team should be something of a help. I wish Flip could go workout with Joker this off season but Joker doesn't work out off season. If they were able to though Joker is not a rim protector either but improved his D with positional defense, something he could teach Flip. Go Bryce!
