Will Hardy Heaps Praise on Utah Jazz Veteran after Win Over Pelicans

Obviously, we made a lineup change tonight, which leads to some different things and a lot of stuff that our staff needs to learn and then communicate to our team. But everybody was great, and I want to make sure that I give some love to Jax. You know, he started camp expecting to come off the bench. Then we have the Nerkinjury. He starts for a bit, and after one game, we just needed to make an adjustment to some of our rotations. I've said to you guys that know me over the years, frequently I will say that it's 48 minutes and everybody gets hung up on who starts, but there's Jackson playing at the end. And I thought he gave us tremendous energy tonight, the lob threat, the rolling, and then some of those defensive weak side plays were huge for us getting the win tonight. It was not a shock to me based on, you know, the early parts of Jackson and I's relationship. he handled the adjustments of the rotation great and really helped us win the game tonight.
