The No. 10 pick of the 2024 draft had by far his best game in a Jazz uniform on Saturday night.
Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz ’s 90-89 summer league win over the Dallas Mavericks from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen.After an anonymous stretch of summer league games in Utah, Williams’ first in Las Vegas was brilliant.
But when he did get an open lane, in either half-court or transition, he really took advantage of it. The highlight of the night was the surprising dunk over the rotating Dallas defender, at 1:25 of the above video. Williams has impressed me with his rim finishing ability so far — dunks, sure, but mostly about his craft.
There’s strength to both approaches, and it’ll be interesting how Williams’ growth plays out in his chosen worldview.We got to see Taylor Hendricks play without Walker Kessler out there, which meant he would have to take a much larger role around the basket. How did he do? We knew some of this going in, but the rebounding and playmaking deficiencies do make it really tough for the Jazz to pencil him into an NBA rotation right now. Or, well, they would make it tough if they wanted to win next year.
Clearly, the Jazz are trying to make this an organizational ethos, where they prioritize promoting from within. There are better players on the free agent market than Juzang, but they like him, think he can play a spot role, and think there’s a chance he’s worth more than $3 million per year down the road if he continues improving. Sure.
