David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, dives into a data-driven analysis of the team's young players using Taylor Snar's Dunks and Threes website. He examines estimated plus-minus (EPM) statistics for Keyonte George, Brice Sensabaugh, Isaiah Collier, Kyle Filipowski, and Cody Williams, comparing their trajectories and percentile rankings across various metrics.
The episode reveals both encouraging trends and concerning statistics for Utah's prospects. Walker Kessler's development serves as a positive example, while defensive struggles plague several rookies. Locke highlights Keyonte George's offensive improvement juxtaposed with his bottom-tier defensive ranking. The analysis raises questions about the long-term potential of players with significantly negative EPM scores and how their current performance compares to historical precedents for NBA success
