Withey

I was puzzled all season why he didn't get more minutes. Decent defense, ok on pick and roll, good rebounding and blocks, good around the basket, team defense ok, able to hit a midrange shot, nice hands, wasn't an offensive liability like Gobert, able to be a positive on the floor when he was given minutes. Thought there were quite a few games where he would have been of more help than Booker. Not sure why Snyder doesn't like him.

Once you find your way to QS's doghouse it is very hard to emerge. See Little Sap, Burke, Cotton, Cooley, Kevin Murphy, Dee Bost, Brock Motum.

I don't think those players were in the doghouse...they were just really crappy players.

I don't disagree with the talent level of these players, but it seems they would do some good things albeit mostly in preason but some during the regular season and then need to go get a tetanus shot for the amount of splinters they would gather from pine riding right after performing decently.
 
There is no argument that Withey should have been taking Booker's minutes. Seems like every time Booker was on the court things were happening with him at the epicenter. Every good team has a guy or two that are balls of energy like Booker. No one is searching for their Withey.

I would never play him over Booker, personally. Booker is fantastic. However, when some big guys were out we could have used him more.

He played well against real centers, but struggled when other teams played "small ball". However, he is a bargain backup when you look at cost vs production.

Pardon my ignorance, but who the F is Dee Bost? Never heard of him. Will my Jazz-fan card be revoked for not knowing this?

I think a case could be made that Withey + Favors is a better lineup than Favors + Booker, for many situations. Booker certainly brings the energy... but falls short in a lot of other categories.

Dee Bost and Rodney Hood were teammates at Mississipi State. He made the Trailblazers roster and was assigned to the Stampede when they were a Portland affiliate. He went to Jazz training camp the next year, played the first preseason game, did reasonably well in the few minutes of PT and then was cut. He's been in Europe since showing back up in the States to play summer league. I think he played with the Pacers summer league team in Vegas last year.
