It's one exhibition game, but Edgecombe looked like a potential all-star. The tools and skill are obvious. His jumper looks weird though. Something's off about his form.
The best thing for the Jazz is that Sensabaugh and Filipowski looked like a class above summer league. They're solidly NBA guys. Clayton Jr. looks ready to play, and I was surprised how good he was as a passer setting up other guys. He seemed gassed at one point in the first half but he seemed to work through it ok. It was also really good to see Cody Williams play well. He had a rough rookie season and might still be a year away from making the leap to contributing much (he's still really thin) but you can see the 3 and D potential. Ace was good when he played within the offense, not so much when he played "I got this," but you can see the defensive potential too. He can be a really good two way player.
The one guy that had a rough game and it kind of surprised me was Collier. He played well at the end of last season, but had a tough game. Lot of fouls, lot of bad shots, didn't seem to be taking it seriously. He's fighting for the starting point guard job and you would have hoped to see more from a guy like that. It's just one exhibition though.
The Jazz are going to be bad but they do have some fun young guys. I expect they'll be summer league darlings because between Collier, Clayton Jr. and Harkless they'll get good point guard minutes. That's where I've seen summer league breakdown. Direct correlation between the quality of play and how good each team's summer league point guards are.
I'll be at the game Tuesday with a friend. Still figuring out if I'll use tomorrow's ticket or not.
