I like that Filipowski is earning more and more runway in Utah. He started against the Spurs, and that's a sign of more to come. I wasn't as high as most in this last draft cycle. Here are 3K+ words on his NBA role and long-term trajectory that I had for him: LINK

  1. Flip is similar to Collier…if they improve their shooting, then I think they are at least high level rotation players and good starters due to their array of other skills. I wonder if this injury (sprained ankle) will give Flip a chance to sit and evaluate how teams have adjusted to him over the past week.

    This is a really good analysis, thanks for posting.

    I think I’m most excited about his potential to allow teams to switch 1 thru 5…I just feel the Jazz’s drop coverage is leading to very easy looks for opponents.

  2. Like Collier, he needs to be a high level shooter to be a good player. Will they get there? We’ll see…

  3. Casual reminder that Flip is getting time because of Hendricks’ injury, not because he earned the starter spot. I fully expect Hendricks to return to starting, and Lauri’s a lock – so likely that Flip and Kessler end up trading starting spots based on matchups.

    (Flip needs better decision-making lol)
