We’re two weeks in to the regular season. In fact, it’s already 10% complete.

On this week’s episode of the Weekly Run, Jazz beat writers Eric Walden and Andy Larsen talk about the Jazz’s rebounding woes, Donovan Mitchell’s third-year jump, and Rudy Gobert’s request for more touches. Then, we check in on how some of the new guys are doing: Mike Conley, Ed Davis, and Jeff Green. Tony Bradley’s not a new guy, but we haven’t seen a lot of him in a Jazz uniform until now; where is he at?

Here’s the rundown:

At 2:35: The rebounding went away for two games. How good will they be at the end of the year?

At 8:05: Donovan Mitchell, by some metrics has been the best player in the league this season. What has he done well?

At 15:05: Quick Mike Conley thoughts

At 16:45: Rudy Gobert wants the ball more?

At 26:15: Ed Davis’s early production

At 29:00: Tony Bradley stepping in

At 32:40: Jeff Green’s contributions off the bench
