What's going to happen when Donovan has to guard players 6 inches taller. I honestly think they won't be able to guard the real good teams who have great size. Unless U take one off the floor. When those teams are alot bigger at the guard spot. Both are 6'1.

Why in the hell would you think he would defend 6'6" guys that are the primary or secondary option? This team is loaded with 6'6"-6'7" Guys.

Besides that, Don-UV-a-Mich has a 6'9" wingspan. Wingspan means a lot in defense, sure, he cant naturally be as big as most players, but I dont see Donovan OR Conoly being a liability on defense

1) I get it you're an Exum homer and any other guard sucks compared to him.
2) For the love of god, learn to use to and too correctly.
Not to mention, this is probably the worst matchup to draw that conclusion from. Milwaukee plays abnormally large, the Jazz stack up fine against the rest of the league.

We didnt have Rudy, that's a huge difference. Its pre-season, we weren't at full.strength and in the past 5 years we are 7-3 against Milwaukee

The million-dollar question is whether Bradley guards in space better than Ed Davis does. The Jazz want to switch on defense, like last year, but guys like Rubio and Favors could guard switches. Whereas, Conley and Davis couldn't tonight. That's the biggest concern that I see. Conley and Bogey will get comfortable on offense and start making their shots.

I can answer that question right now... nope.
 
Are you buttholes ready to embrace Tony yet?

He had some good moments, but his night wasn’t as impressive as the stat line suggests. The biggest thing he’s missing imo is he doesn’t bother people around the basket on defense... which is kinda important.

My excitement for Tony is that I no longer think he'd be an absolute disaster as a third string center. If he's playing against the Dragan Benders of the world, we'll be fine.

Ed was bad and tony wasn’t good in the first half when it mattered. Having him and bender trade buckets in the fourth quarter isn’t impressive to me.

If we actually have to rely on him during the year because of injury I’ll bet we make a trade or sign someone.

Royce was the biggest disappointment for me. Same stupid turnovers.

I agree with this. He hasn't shown he can make an impact on the game, but I don't think too many third string centers do. He doesn't look completely out of place on an NBA floor, but isn't someone we want to have to rely on for meaningful minutes. So he gets a very solid "meh."

I don't know wtf was up with Royce. This game was a dumpster fire from the jump for a lot of players that we know are better than they showed tonight.
