Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 126-120 loss to the New York Knicks from Salt Lake Tribune beat writer Andy Larsen.
• When the Jazz did force a Knicks miss, they couldn’t get rebounds. Once again, the opposition’s offensive rebound rate was 40% or higher. And the Knicks killed those opportunities, too, with a 146 offensive rating there.
The number one swing skill for THT is whether or not he’s making good decisions on whether to shoot or pass. If he’s forcing layups in traffic, he can get you in extreme amounts of trouble. Those shots are often blocked, leading to fast breaks. If they’re not blocked, they often lead to THT being on the floor, leading to a 5-on-4 the other way.I also think he was a significant defensive contributor tonight, using his size and his length to bother players on that end.
If he figures the shot out to an acceptable level, he has the chance to be a really helpful NBA player. Until then, his ceiling is basically as regular-season minutes cruncher against teams that don’t heavily scout.I thought there were times when Walker Kessler looked like Mitchell Robinson out there tonight.
