Insights and what we can take away from the preseason ..

[Jazz Spazz]

The net difference here is minimal. Unless Gobert takes a big step back, or it was really Favors who should’ve been winning all those DPOY awards. I think we’ll be more or less the same. Maybe just playing with less urgency on that end. Since our offense will be putting up points more easily.

We should be close to the same, but it will take time to get there with all these changes, so over the course of the season the numbers will probably look worse. Don’t panic.

I think Royce is elite defensively.
Royce started in the pre season.
So I think we have one Chris Paul (cp3 was an excellent defender btw), Donovan Mitchell, 2 elite defenders (Royce and Rudy) and bogdonivich.

Chris Paul was all NBA defensive team 9 times. 7 times first team and 2 times second team.

Definitely not an elite defender. He's not in the Roberson/Kawhi/Covington tier.

Top 15 wing defender?
