I could have shown examples of so many players who struggled to start their first NBA season too. It's extremely common.
So maybe it's time to pump the brakes and stop overreacting to small sample sizes?
Just a thought.

ace bailey immediately went over to darryn peterson after he missed the shot that effectively sealed a win for the grizzlies to let him know it's alright.
i fucking love that kid.

Bailey is seeing the floor really well in part because the Jazz made sure his first year was about learning to play in a system and not just about him.
365 days ago, fans were as worried about him as some are abt DP now. The Jazz know what they’re doing.

I’ve loved the hustle of Darryn Peterson on some of these plays down the stretch. Shots haven’t fallen but he’s fought for rebounds and made some great extra passes. Showing more to his game than just scoring.
Stephen Jackson (@DaTrillStak5) came back to Utah to interview Will Hardy and decide if his opinion of Utah is correct or not (he was not a fan). And of course he gets here and realizes Utah is actually a great place. Good stuff.

The impatience of the average sports fan needs to be studied. I could fill an encyclopedia set with social media takes of Jazz fans who thought guys like Keyonte George & Rudy Gobert were busts cause they took longer to develop. And now we're doing it with DP after 3 games 🤦🏽

Have to imagine JJ Buchanan, John Henry Daley and the other Utah transfers are really kicking themselves.
Michigan’s season is over and Utah is pushing the top 5.
Bad decisions.

I've been to 6 WrestleManias.
I was the in-stadium host for the @Utah_Football game at @Rice_Eccles last night and I can definitely say that this crowd - specificallty, @TheMUSS - was the single loudest crowd I've ever heard in my life.

All the players and coaches who stayed at Utah and didn’t go to Michigan are sitting at 7-0, 1st in the Big 12 and will be a Top 5 team in the country with the CFP within its grasp while Michigan is sitting at 4-3 with no idea who their QB is or what direction they are going.
You called it.
