It’s also worth noting the contributions of Kelly Olynyk. He has really struggled since he came back from injury with the Jazz. In particular, as the Jazz have planned to emphasize Markkanen and his All-Star status, he’s just been less of a hub for the team than he was at the beginning of the season. When he doesn’t have the ball in his hands, you’re just relying on him for shooting and defense, and he’s streaky at one and not great at the other.
Also on Team Eight Assists: Talen Horton-Tucker. He’s very good when he uses his ability to attack the rim when he passes. If he shoots, it’s probably going to be an out-of-control layup, but when he passes, it’s likely to find an open teammate. Tonight, though, the Jazz got 44% of their shots at the rim, and shot 28-36 from there. That’s significantly more than the 30% than they usually take, or have taken for the rest of the year.
