Jazz have arguably the worst bench in the league

[Diamond77]

I think Dennis Lindsey had a long vacation this offseason. He had to be more proactive especially after Exum injury.

Let's be realistic, how can the Jazz reach the playoffs this season with the current bench?

Burks is the only good player coming off the bench. Booker is decent player.

Trey Burke no comment.

Ingles, Johnson and Whitey are mediocre players.

Tibor Pleiss was a backup center in Europe.

Elijah Millsap is a D-League player.

Lyles is just a promise.

There are many good locker room guys but in terms of quality and skills this bench is inadequate to aim the playoffs.

Overreaction theatre. Burks is a sixth man of the year candidate, Booker is a solid bonafide NBA player, Ingles is a good bench player, Millsap was bad last night but has an NBA skill... he's fine as a 10th 11th man. Withey is a decent backup center, Tibor is our 6th big so whatever. If Trey Burke plays better (and he will) then we have an okay bench. If Trey continues to suck we can go get someone.

The timing of the exum injury left us with few options.

The idea that DL didn't do much is laughable. The guy works his *** off.

Go the NBA.com website under tranactions are puruse the guys that were just cut. There is about 100 of them. There must be somebody in that list that could help the Jazz.

Our starting point guard situation is a bigger obstacle to a playoff run than is our bench. And that doesnt even address our backup point guard situation. The under, on the over/under is looking like a good bet.

Exum injury happened the first week of August. There was lot of time to find an adequate substitute.

Millsap is a good defender but he does not bring anything else on the table. If had another family name, I'm not sure he would be in the league.

Yes the point guard situation is a big problem. Yesterday the Jazz finished the game without point guard because objectively the Jazz don't have a real pg starter. Neto is a backup point guard at best in this league.

The Exum absence is heavy.

Hood lead the team in assists.

Where are the shooters to make efficient and effective Quin's offensive system?

 

[Julie Greengiant]

I'd be willing to bet you couldn't even name another team's bench.

The Exum injury leaves a gaping hole.

Meanwhile Devin Booker had a solid debut with 14 points, on 6-7 shooting.

No idea why we passed on that for such a project.

He wouldn't work out for us was one reason. While the Jazz say that doesn't effect their drafting, I think it does. They want perfect chemistry, don't want anyone who doesn't want to be here.

But neither Trey Burke or the player in your avatar, worked out for the Jazz prior to the draft.
