I just wanted to ask the jazz board about Walker Kessler?

Why has he not taken the next level this year?
Are you still high on him?

I really want to see the big men come back and hoping players like Kessler and Zach Edney can help change things in favour of the traditional big man

He started the season with an injury and wasn't good. The Jazz also had to make that Collins trade not look stupid and they couldn't play together. The summer with Team USA didn't help much, it seems like he didn't have time to improve his game. Overall, he's the same player he was last season. Part of it is his fault for not improving and part of it is that the roster composition is less ideal than it was. I'm still high on him but need to see some improvement. He's good on defense but if he can't develop on offense even a little bit then I'll gradually cool off on him.

His offense has fallen apart because he's afraid of getting fouled. He needs to get to 70% from the line to not Ben Simmons.
