Jazz sign Bojan

Let's quit sugar coating it. No, he is not known as a good defender and never has been. I'm hoping that Quinn Snyders system will change that about him. I am very very happy that he is one the team, but we need to say it like it is. He's going to add tremendous value on our team, but he is a horrific defender. I'm confident that Snyder can change that.

He's not horrible, but he's a better team defender than man-to-man. Gobert and Davis will need to come off and help him once in a while due to lateral quickness problems. That said, I think he projects more as a 4 than a 3 in Utah's system and will spend time there. He's got he frame to guard muscular 3s as well.

Keep in mind also that our "defensive wing specialist", Dante, did a -1.4 DRPM and 110 DRtg last year. Same as Bojan.
 
I think one good thing is that it won’t require much adjustment to work him in to the offense. Whether we signed him or whether we signed Harris, they both just slide into the Hayward role on offense.

I don't think he'll have a tough adjustment on defense either. In Indy he played on a defense built around a good defensive center and it's the same here.
 
Sorry fool but many very knowledgeable NBA folk describe him as a very good defender. Above average. Even against players like LeBron

SIT THE **** DOWN Clueless ****

Isn't DB calling someone else clueless a textbook example of, "the pot calling the kettle black"?
