It\u2019s time to continue the most important series I have ever written. If you missed part 1<\/a>, you can read it here<\/a>. Now, let\u2019s get to the next three Jazz players and who they would be if they were XMen.<\/p>\n

Isaiah Collier – Cannonball<\/p>\n

Cannonball\u2019s power included the ability to fly at jet speeds while encased in an impenetrable force field. He\u2019s able to manipulate his forcefield in a lot of ways, but he\u2019s best known for flying at high speeds and crashing into the enemy. Does anything describe Isaiah Collier\u2019s game better than that? Collier plays at incredible speed and flies to the basket with reckless abandon. It\u2019s had mixed results for Collier; we\u2019ll see if he can manipulate his powers like Cannonball did, so he can be a more well-rounded player in the future.<\/p>\n

Walker Kessler – Colossus<\/p>\n

Both are defensive monsters that support their team in any fight. Colossus uses his impenetrable steel skin, along with his huge size and super strength, to make himself an indestructible defensive stalwart for the XMen. Just like Colossus, Walker Kessler is the final line of defense for the Jazz as he protects the rim. He\u2019s not known for flashy offense, but rather for being a defensive monster that people in the league have learned to respect.<\/p>\n

Brice Sensabaugh – Gambit<\/p>\n

Brice Sensabaugh was much better<\/a> than he got credit for last season. What was most impressive was his ability to shoot the ball. At times, he was absolutely lethal. The biggest question was consistency. Perhaps not the most lethal of mutants, Gambit finds a way to inflict huge damage with his charged cards with controlled efficiency. And he does it with style. Sensabaugh is much the same way. Out of nowhere, you\u2019ll see Sensabaugh come with a barrage of threes that can change a game. The question for Sensabaugh is whether he can find some versatility with this game and control the ball. If he can, he becomes a massive weapon for the Jazz like Gambit for the XMen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s time to continue the most important series I have ever written.
