This ain't workin. I haven't looked but I'm guessing almost all of our many terrible losses this year were in games where Bricky was bad. He might be great down the stretch like last year but even so, what is our end game? And can we get there with a lackluster regular season win %/playoff seeding?

How much is he bringing us down?
 
I don't want to sound too negative on Ricky. I love his effort and I love watching him play. He's like a tornado out there. He's tough and he's fearless. But his shooting...
 
I don't care. I don't want to see him play another minute for the Jazz. I haven't hated watching a Jazz PG this much since Trey Burke.

Rubio has some nights when he's solid and others where he's nearly unplayable. It's frustrating. It's hard to find good PGs.

The league is overflowing with them. We just can't to be a team that has one when teams often have more than one.

As to the question, I don't really know. But this team's offense wasn't really designed for a traditional 1.

Worst case scenario, you have Mitchell do it but spread around who initiated offense.

This is also the argument for drafting Allen, I think. Maybe he could play some?
 
Golden State Warrior's point guard gave their game away tonight maybe we can buy low and give them Rubio and a 1st for him

Depending on what's available in the market, the Jazz might be better off playing Mitchell at the 1 and having another wing on the floor who can run the offense and share the load.

Mitchell can't play the one at all with his current game. I said this in another thread but the Exum/3shooter/Favs lineup was originally ran with Mitchell in the first couple of games after the Korver acquisition but it never worked because Mitchell tunnel visions in a PnR and just looks for his shot all the time. Exum is making it go because he doesn't necessarily try to force his shot all the time and everyone is involved more.
 
I'm not sure what the answer is at point guard but I do know that my biggest fear is re-signing Rubio. He looks great sometimes but when he's bad he's REALLY bad. It's not just the missed shots, it's also the way defenses sag way off of him and dare him to shoot and the turnovers. I do agree with some of the others though that Mitchell is nowhere near ready to be a full time point guard.
