Who should be our 3rd PG?

1- Exum
2- Mack
3- Neto

Hill will be used at backup SG. Burke and Burks will probably be moved. It's the only way I can make some semblance of sense out of trading for Mack and then Hill when Exum is the guy moving forward and the team supposedly likes Neto.

1 - Exum
2 - Hill
3 - Mack
4 - Neto

Or. . .

1 - Exum
2 - Hill
3 - Neto
(Trade Mack for something more than a future 2nd round pick and you get a decent return on investment.)

Both of those scenarios make A LOT more sense than trading for Hill to be the primary backup at the 2. Yeah, he's a good 3 & D guy, but he's not big enough to hold up as a 2 exclusively. .

Nate Wolters, Diannte Garrett or Michael Stockton.
 
While Mack was better last year, Neto has a ton of room for growth and may well be better in just a year or two. Heck, maybe even this year. So I think if push came to shove and the Jazz wanted to get rid of one of them, it would probably be Mack.
 
I admit I did not like Mack for the first week or two. He really grew on me towards the end. His hustle and drive were contagious. Having said that I think he has the easiest contract to terminate or move. He's probably the odd man out.

He is 6'3 with a 6'9 wingspan so him playing SG in a role like Avery Bradley wouldn't be horrible. He's also a poor distributor so he might excel at the 2. Idk. I thought trading for him was dumb to begin with.
 
Trading for him was fine. His defense at the 1 will be a valuable asset. It's some of the keys to their defensive success. Have a stopper like Exum/Hill up top and it makes rotations for the bigs easier. Slows everything down when there isn't a turnstile out there.

He's not a distributor, but if he does a better job of filling Dante's role from his rookie year when he's out there, he'll be a very solid acquisition. I think the Jazz are much better using Hood/Burks at the 2 position. Just because Hill and Exum CAN play together doesn't mean that they SHOULD play them together.
