Cody Williams scored more in Saturday's game than in his first preseason games combined. How? Plus: Collin Sexton as point guard, and early thoughts on SEG+.
Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz ’s 126-120 loss to the San Antonio Spurs from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen.The priority in tonight’s game was the young players. Of course, that’ll be true all season long, but it’s especially the case in a game where the Jazz simply sat Lauri Markkanen, Jordan Clarkson, John Collins, and Patty Mills to rest.
Second, the 3-point shooting. Yes, it’s a small sample size. But we’ve talked about it frequently: shooting is the uber-skill in the current NBA meta. For Williams to make a majority of his tonight is a very good sign. Yes, it goes in. But that’s a pullup midranger early in the shot clock, contested by one of the Spurs’ best defenders in Jeremy Sochan. The “No One Outpizzas The Hut” bar had even yet to leave the screen.Again, it goes in! This is offense, of a sort! But in this role as team leader, Sexton simply should prioritize the stuff his team has worked on in training camp, or at the very least, getting off the ball to get his teammates going. Taking these shots instead sets a different sort of tone.
I do want to give Ryan Smith credit where it’s due on this one, though: SEG+ has been a legitimately awesome product for this. The ability to watch both leagues’ games on a second screen makes this possible for me, and for us, in a way it simply wouldn’t have been in the pre-streaming era. For years, fans complained about the lack of streaming options for Jazz games, and his team actually delivered with this product.
