Sarah Todd article: Analysis: Jazz are still searching for young players who can be a part of their future core. A particularly harsh snippet.
Sarah Todd is one of my favorite Utah Jazz writers, but this one struck a cord, and I want to know what Jazz fans actually think...

This may be the harshest article posted about the young players. It is no secret they have their flaws. Keyonte's defense and efficiency, Isaiah's 3pt shooting, Williams' strength, etc...but they still have some intriguing skills, for sure.
This particular snippet though...what?
"Sensabaugh, along with George and Collier, have without a doubt shown improvement in their time with the Jazz. But even the improved versions of these players has been lackluster, leaving fans looking around the league at players that were selected after them in the draft but are soaring above them in development and success."

Go look at the 2023 draft and 2024 drafts...tell me which players are you, as a Jazz fan, are envying how they are soaring above Isaiah Coller in development and success (or even Key, who was selected 16th).
I don't always pay as much attention at other teams' young guys, but I personally am not losing sleep at night because Julian Strawther is averaging 9.7 ppg on 43.7% shooting.
