He’s not undersized at the 4. His rebounding would be considered elite and he punches above his weight. He could be more of a small ball 5, too. He could be very serviceable. The question is if he’d be better than Howard. His position of need would be higher on our list, and who knows if Howard/Kidd ever get any burn. I’d prefer him over TB. He and Davis probably wouldn’t/shouldn’t share the floor, which would significantly limit his utility.
Since when is 6'8" not considered undersized as a PF? Dont tell me, "the modern Pf blah blah blah", if he is not undersized then Joe or Bojan isnt undersized. If we already have 3 players that could play PF (Green, Ingles, Bojan) then why would we need a 4th?
Size isn’t just where the top of your head is. Which four would Booker struggle against? Aldridge? He’s going to outmuscle 99% of fours, and he’s going to outrebound anyone not named Kevin Love. No, neither Ingles nor Bojan are anywhere near his size, despite all being the same height. If you’ll remember, one of the greatest defensive centers of the past couple decades was only 6’9”, and in an era where that was on the smaller end for the 4 spot. And one of the greatest defensive PFs of all time and a hall of famer was only 6’7”. 6’8” Trevor Booker is perfectly fine at the 4 in “today’s NBA.”
So, in other words, you’re saying his size isn’t an issue.
He doesn't provide anything that the Jazz needs. We already got rid of a high energy small PF that cant shoot
We didn't get rid of Crowder to get rid of him, he was necessary for the trade to get Conley.
