Three pgs, including Keyonte George, but the other two have no future with the Jazz. So, I am very interested to see how Keyonte plays with his big minutes in the on ball/distributor role.

I'm also interested to see how he stacks up against Cason Wallace when they play OKC.

Cason is very good. I like him. I would have been good with us taking him at 9 too.. I like George too. He's probably more dynamic offensively than Wallace.

BTW Taevion Kinsey is a player we gave an Exhibit 10 contract to. He seems like an interesting prospect who might actually make the roster:

Will be interesting to watch him in SL.

I really like Taevion Kinsey and thought he had a good chance to go in the second round. Looking forward to seeing him in summer league and wouldn't be surprised if he makes the roster.

The Jazz also signed Joey Hauser a few days ago.

The 6’9” forward was a sharpshooter at Michigan State for four years. In his final season, he averaged 14.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. He shot 48.4% from the field and 46.1% from three.

Sensabaugh being out isn't a surprise at all, but "knee surgery" is new news. Ohio State just said "knee injury."

This means that Sensabaugh has had at least three knee surgeries in the last 2-3 years.

I would not expect him to play at all in the Summer League due to his knees.

I don't expect him to play at all next season in general, lol. He's 6'5", 265 right now... He needs to lose about 50 pounds of fat and gain 20 pounds of muscle before he can physically compete on the court without potentially damaging his knees.

It was known that he had another surgery. He just got cleared to workout for teams right before the draft.

I wonder if it was the same knee that he had multiple surgeries on his jr yr in high school. If you're 19 and have had at least 3 surgeries on one knee, that can't bode well for an NBA career, can it?

If they didn't care about Sensabaugh's injuries and surgeries, they shouldn't have passed on Whitmore. Yes, I'm still mad about that.

Yeah... I remember Caris LeVert had multiple knee injuries in college and he did well in his NBA career. Don't know if Brice's injuries are worse or not...

The hope is that all the knee injuries are just caused by him being so overweight and that IF he loses the weight, he can stay healthy (and get more athletic)

I've read that Hendricks has a sore quad or hammy, maybe a pulled muscle, so supposedly no big deal.

However, I wonder if we'll see Sensabaugh at all in the SL Summer League games, or even in the Las Vegas.

If I had to bet, probably not... no need to force his return to play... get him right health-wise and let him be ready for the season.

Probably put him on the "Zion" diet plan too.
Double entendre, maybe
