Head coach Will Hardy is already replicating the Golden State Warriors’ offensive style in the way that his new Utah Jazz team plays.

(via Let’s Go Warriors):

“The ball has energy, and at like a childhood level, everybody loves to touch the ball. I think that they’ve been a model for the NBA for ten years now it feels like of the ball moving around, everybody gets to touch it, and everybody feels involved in the game. So when there is moments where it’s your time to shoot, it’s not like it’s the first time or the only time you’ve touched the ball. That’s something that we’ve taken from them and we’re trying to replicate some of that in the way that we play. We feel like having multiple players involved in what we’re doing, having a lot of different players getting to touch the ball and be involved in actions, it just creates a different type of vibe around the team. 

“You have to really be a specialist to just stand to the side and wait for the ball to be swung to you fifteen seconds later, and just catch it and shoot it. You get in a different type of rhythm when you get to move your body around and touch the ball a few times. It just provides a different feeling for you. Steve [Kerr], his staff, their players, and these core players, they’ve always done such a remarkable job of even though Steph [Curry] and Klay [Thompson] have taken a majority of the shots over the last ten years, all those other guys feel involved in the game, they all have a role, and they touch the ball a lot. So it creates a really good environment. It’s definitely something that we’re trying to replicate a little bit of that in Utah.”
