1 week of camp…
1 scrimmage…
1 pre season game…
Quick thoughts:
– Precious & Banton looked good in Victoria
– FVV has trimmed & Scottie looks bigger
– Raps athleticism & bounce is off the charts
– Flynn’s a gamer
– Depth is better than last year; versatility even stronger – 8:48 PM

Usual preseason caveats apply, and throw in some Jazz caveats as well, but Raptors have to feel pretty good about their depth tonight. Achiuwa & Boucher both scored in double figures off the bench + the fringe rotation/roster guys (Banton/Flynn/Koloko/JJ) shined late. 114-82 win – 8:23 PM

The best part of today’s game was Collin Sexton showcase. His last game was on November 7, 2021. Almost 11 months later Sexton played again and showed glimpses of his high-level ability.

Sounds like Josh Jackson has turned some heads in camp this week, and he’s looked good tonight. The Raptors like his defense, but he’s showing he can get to the rim too. Making a case for that final roster spot with early favourite Justin Champagnie out. – 8:05 PM

But seriously the Jazz have gone to the deep bench with THT, Jared Butler, Simone Fontecchio, and Ochai Agbaji on the floor.

Big T has mentioned a couple times now the “finesse” of Walker Kessler. Noticed this in reviewing some film after the trade. Yes, it can be an advantage in adjusting offensively, but it also highlights his need to get a bit stronger and meaner defensively and on the boards. – 7:57 PM

Raps up 82-64 on the Jazz after 3Q.
Jazz were outscored in the 3Q, 32-15… biggest thing that stood out to me is how the Jazz’s offense struggled to get good shots… just not a lot of cohesion out there, which makes sense given the 14 new players. – 7:53 PM

Relative to expectations, I thought Walker Kessler was the person I was most impressed with. He looks like a rookie who only needs experience in order to make a real impact. The skillset on both ends is already there. Had also heard he has played very well in camp – 7:17 PM

Precious Achiuwa picking up where he left off. Had a team-high 10 points in the 1st half, which included a pull-up top of the arc 3 (also hit a corner 3 that was nullified by an offensive foul). Raptors lead 50-49. Doubt we’ll see much (or any) of the starters in the 2nd half – 7:10 PM

You can take away clues from the rotation Will Hardy is running. For example, it’s obvious he likes a bigger lineup. If I were a Jazz fan, I would be looking at a lot of the small forward types for next years draft – 7:07 PM

It’s the preseason so it has to come with a caveat, but it’s pretty obvious why Walker Kessler was a first round pick.
Great length, good in the dunker spot, can catch the ball in a few areas on the floor, understands spacing and cuts.
Decently advanced stuff for the rook. – 6:45 PM

Collin Sexton has checked in and immediately throws an over the head outlet pass to Lauri Markkanen for a fast break dunk.
Then hits a three on his first shot.
Safe to say Jazz won the trade. 😉

Lauri Markkanen scores the first basket of the new @Utah Jazz era.
A turnaround mid-ranger jump shot, just as the analytics call for.
(But seriously he’s got that skill, and the post game is cool.)
