It was just one game, but it was a fantastic one.
After an impressive rookie season that landed him third in ROY voting, Walker Kessler had a disappointing sophomore season that left a lot of fans in doubt of what he would become for the Utah Jazz. Playing almost identical minutes, Kessler went down in PPG, RPG, and FG%, The downward trend ended up losing him his starting role to John Collins.
Fast forward to this season and we’re already seeing something different.
Again, it’s one game, but Kessler punished Zach Edey and nearly helped lead the Jazz to a tank spoiler surprise victory.
