So... who is going to replace Ricky?

[NAOS]

DJ Augustin as a stopgap.

High level shooter, very strong A/T ratio, a vet whose poise I've always liked.

Yuck

Apparently, whoever said good PG's are hard to find was 100% correct. The only players fitting this criteria are definitely beyond what we can afford.

I loosened my restrictions a bit and came across Cory Joseph.

Seems like a perfect fit.

How many differently offseasons have a clambered for Corey Joseph? 3 or 4, I think.

why Dante Exum has higher potential than Donovan Mitchell

Yuck

Augustin isn't the worst idea for a back up PG though if Exum shows enough over the rest of the season that the Jazz want to try going forward with him starting. It's a big "if" though.

 

[Spinoza]

He has a worse TS% than Exum this year (and worse than last year's Rubio %) because he virtually never gets to the free throw line. He's a caretaker, rather than someone who can thrive in Quin's offense (which seems to require guards to put pressure on the defense).

Looked up his box score from tonight. Oh boy.

 

[Spinoza]

I've been reading up on it some more and apparently die hard Pacers fans are pretty high on Joseph, with some preferring him over Collison at this point (and they're rookie PG is apparently showing a ton of potential).


Anyways, after all the digging I feel strongly either of the Pacers point guards would be better to have than Rubio. Amazingly they're both quite a bit cheaper as well.

Who replaces Rubio?
Any decent PG's projected to be there around 11-14? Lindsey has already spent 5 first rounders on PG's since he arrived (2 for Burke, Exum, trading for Hill and Senor Brickio). Why not use a 6th?

Heck, who's the best PG in the GLeague?

 

[Jazz]

He has more potential than Mitchell

 

[Jack Strop]

If he's 12, PG_AB will want to watch him play. Please send him videos.

Yuck

Yuck to a 61.5+% TS% the last two years including 43.1% and 41.9% from 3 but let’s go get Cory Joseph lmfao.

 

[Miggs]

Worse than Rubio? And at half the price? Apparently he's a good defender and his shooting looks solid the last 3 years.

No. Joseph’s TS% has been 52.0% and 50.3% the last two years. It’s 52.1% for his career. That blows.

As solid a defender as Joseph may be, we have four guys behind him who can really defend and aren’t desperate for that. What we do need is better shooting.

 

[Game6Conley]

Cory Joseph would be excellent and he deserves an opportunity to start he's in his prime. In the event the Jazz are fortuitous enough to land Darius Garland in the draft they're still gonna want to have a vet in place as training wheels, Ricky would be suitable for this, If it was me though I'd roll the dice on Joseph. There will be many suitors for his services but Utah could offer him a bigger role than most.
