Can Kelly Olynyk help the starters and help the turnovers



Locked On Jazz Podcast 💻 https://www.lockedonjazz.net
The Utah Jazz starting lineup with Walker Kessler and John Collins has yet to find its groove. Could inserting Kelly Olynyk into the starting lineup help the Jazz with ball movement, spacing and some of the other issues that are confronting the starting linup for the Jazz.

David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA insider takes a look at how Kelly might be able to help the starting unit and maybe help Keyonte George when it is time for him to be inserted into the starting lineup as well.

The stretch of 5 turnovers in 6 possessions to open the 2nd quarter seems to be a threshold moment and Locke thinks it will have an impact moving forward.

Late game watch includes a return to the post, who Milwaukee is going back to its roots and what pop is doing with Wemby.

  1. Watching a little late here! I loved last season when we started 10-3, and I think KO was a big part of it. I’m all for starting him if Will’s ready for it!

  2. Start Kelly instead of Walker as he is more of a scoring threat and a better passer.

  3. If the Jazz get better defense from the guard spots, the bigs won't be so bad. Bench THT for Ochai first.

  4. That was my take yesterday. Collins/Kessler together doesn't work. It just creates the great wall for the guards to bump into on offense. You parse that part out and then evaluate the guards and their decision making. At least that is how I see it from remote Alaska where the woodstove and Jazz are the predominant entertainment.

  5. With Jordan struggling. Start KG at 1. Collins at 2. KO at 3, Lauri at 4 and Kessler at 5. Best 3 pt shooters, best rebounding and best defense.

  6. We start Kelly olynk we definitely gonna tank he our worst defender we need defenders to play more not more offensive players the defensive players like nunn ochai need to play more I'm sorry we have no choice

  7. I think that Jazz fans might rather watch a rookie grow through making mistakes and turning the ball over instead of watching some of our other guards who have had time in the league make those same mistakes.

  8. The Jazz are struggling offensively particularly because they’ve caught the one on one isolation bug that killed team USA at the Worlds. They really need to get back to better team play. Move the ball.

  9. Kelly olynyk couldnt Even make an inbound pass with no pressure Kelly olynyk does to much an it'sthe jazz everywhere Kelly went was play d shut up rebound n shoot the occasional 3 we want him to b lebron for us which makes no sense at all when he gets to the starting line up we gonna lose every game for certain who the hell is Kelly olynyk if we thinking about starting him we in trouble because he can't even get off the bench for no other teams it s his lack of d

  10. David, the background image is really interfering and distorting your image. Very distracting.

  11. And FWIW, I really like John Collins…he scores and rebounds really well. His defense does need to improve.
