Who's Garrett Temple?????
- Thread starter The Midnight
- Start date
... let alone "Around the World".
I think he's under contract with Washington. We would have to trade for him. Salary dump maybe for the Wizards.
Yeah that's what they're saying.

I looked up Diante Garrett's, Nate Wolter's and Elliot Williams NBA stats and they are comparable or better than Temple's. They could be signed for no compensation. If Quin wants to go the Temple route why not wait and see if our current crop of PGs can carry us without pushing the button.
But could Temple be better defensively than those guys you mentioned?

I don't know. The Wizards were in the playoffs last year and he didn't play very long in San Antonio and I wasn't impressed with him when he played for the Kings. Perhaps his allure is the fear that bigger point guards would bully the current crop of smallish point guards.
Makes sense to me. He can be a Dante stand-in for one year with his length. Does not have to play much O, just play D. That way we can keep up our high standard of defense, instead of having one of our short short PG out there letting the other PG destroy our D.
If this happens, doesn't represent another indication that Jazz FO is very uncertain about Trey? They don't even want to rely on him for one year?

Just playing Devil's Advocate here, but why then did we go out and sign Cotton and Neto? LOL ... Trey and Hanlan aren't much taller or good defensively neither....

@DJJazzyJody @Tjonessltrib He's a defense 1st. Can do some ball-handling to help relieve pressure. an occasional 3 is a bonus

Temp told me he knows GM Lindsay well when he had his stints w/Spurs

My guess is that they want the backup to be a change-of-pace guy so they can accept him being smaller. But I dunno.
