Utah Jazz and Will Hardy decided to make an interesting change before their home match. Dallas Mavericks.

The Jazz, who have started rookie Cody Williams for the last seven games, decided to trade the tenth overall pick in favor of Kyle Filipowski.

Williams, a 19-year-old winger from Colorado, struggled to start his rookie season, averaging 3.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 26.4% from the field and 17.2% from three (22.1 minutes). game).

Filipowski, on the other hand, is a more consistent performer on both ends of the court; He averages 6.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists, shooting 54.5% from the field and 38.1% from three. Thanks to some impressive play and Walker Kessler’s second straight absence potentially coming into play, it allowed the Duke rookie to get in line for his fourth start of the season.

Now the Jazz will roll out the starting lineup of Keyonte George, Collin Sexton, Lauri Markkanen, Kyle Filipowski and John Collins in hopes of getting their third regular season win of the season.

It remains to be seen whether Filipowski will be able to maintain his role as a frontcourt starter once Kessler returns to the lineup following rehab from his hip injury. But for now, the freshman big man hopes to continue his impressive run this season in a tough game against Western Conference rivals in the Mavericks.
