Mike Conely... If we Get This...

We're going to see some really good hoops this year.

He's got a little of that Curry magic.
 
So it's a 15min+ highlight video? No talk about what Conley will do for the Jazz specifically?

ok
 
The more I deep dive statistics and the more I watch highlights of Conley and Bogdanovic and the other new guys the more excited I get about this team. The two things that stand out most to me and stick with me...

1) The Jazz generated the most open shots in the NBA last season. And now they have so many guys on the roster who sink open 3's at a high rate. Mitchell, Conley, Bogdanovic, Ingles, O'neale, Niang, Green.

2) Gobert/Crowder/Ingles/Mitchell/Rubio was the most effective 5 man lineup in the entire NBA last season. That was with Crowder's shooting %s of 39.9/33.1 and Rubio's shooting %s of 40.4/31.1. Now imagine that lineup with Bogdanovic's shooting %s of 49.7/42.5 and Conley's shooting %s of 43.8/36.4, AND with a similar level of defense....

Excuse me, I need a cold shower real quick.

I can’t help but think we generated open looks because teams didn’t guard us. The guys that were open the most was Rubio and Crowder and it seemed Corver was rarely all that open, he had to employ a deadly fast release.

Our offense generates a ton of open looks for Joe Ingles too.

Thing #1 will be a big talking point all year I think. Did we generate all of those open 3s because of Quin's brilliance or because Rubio and our PFs didn't need to be guarded out that far.
 
Conley will be our best PG since Stockton. He's a great player but more importantly is tough and high-character. He's everything we wished George Hill would be and more. Don't be surprised when we come out of the gate and have a top-3 best record.

I thought we had an all nba, all star, Olympian and top 2 PG?

How much of that was the jazz offense and how much of that was opponents leaving bad shooters Open on purpose?

I've wondered that, but it's two sides to the same coin. If we're getting a lot of open looks because a bunch of people aren't being guarded, it's because someone else is being heavily guarded. If we don't get as many open looks, at least we're making the defense honest.

If Conley is better than prime Deron we are making the finals. (I have a hard time believing he’d be better than 21/10/4 on 46/35/85%)

This is a fair point. But I also think Quin's offense generates a lot of open shots too. Let's say Crowder and Rubio were being left open on purpose and removing them from our roster drops us from 1st in open shots to the 5-10 range. That's still a significant amount of open looks for good shooters.
