Jazz head coach: George needs to improve his defensive ability, Sensabo needs to improve his physical fitness

Utah Jazz head coach Will Hardy recently gave an interview to reporters, in which he also talked about the situation of backcourt star Keyonte George and forward star Brice Sensabaugh.

When talking about where George needs to improve, Hardy said: George must improve his defensive ability, and his defense can be improved in many aspects. Part of his problem is the psychological level, but he also needs to improve his physical condition and muscle strength, which can also determine his role on the court. Next, Hardy talked about his shooting discipline. Hardy continued: More importantly, he needs to maintain stability in technical movements, and he does not lean back or distort when shooting. These details are all areas he needs to polish.

When talking about Sensabo, Hardy said: He has proven himself an excellent pitcher in the league. While he needs to develop other aspects to be a more comprehensive player, he does have some special abilities, and he can also play his role in NBA-level games, and I think he has the ability to contribute to a championship team in the playoffs. When talking about what Sensabo needs to make progress, Hardy believes that Sensabo's shooting is very accurate, but his physical fitness still has room for improvement. If he can improve in this regard, it will also help him make greater progress in other fields, and the transition from offense and defense to improving defensive stability is the case. If he can do these things, his technical advantages can truly be demonstrated.

In the NBA regular season this season, George played a total of 67 games in 82 games, averaging 31.5 minutes per game, averaging 16.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 2.7 turnovers and 1.7 fouls. He shot 39.1%, three-point shooting percentage 34.3%, and free throw shooting percentage 81.8%. In the NBA regular season this season, Sensabo made a total of 71 appearances in 82 games, averaging 20.2 minutes per game, averaging 10.9 points, 3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 45.9%, three-point shooting percentage 42.2%, and 89% free throw shooting percentage.

George and Sensabo have indeed made some progress this season. They have both become good scorers, and their performance on the offensive end is worthy of recognition. However, the two players also have huge problems with their defensive abilities. They are not reliable defenders, and their performance in this regard has also made it difficult for them to play a decisive role on the court. I wonder if they can improve their performance this summer and whether they can become the key to the team's rise next season?
