Not enough sample size to tell. Again, this is the first time in Conley’s career to operate without the ball in his hands at all time. Some shooters will knock down shots the moment they step onto the floor. Some shooters will only catch fire when they’ve touched the ball for long enough. We need shooters who can knocks down shots without touching the ball much, like Brogdon.Hasn't he been a historically good spot up shooter though?

This makes me upset because people taking about risk taking but why gamble on something that has a very low chance of success when there is a clear better way to improve this team?
Success I mean contending for a championship. We have a very low chance of success in winning a championship with Conley. And Brogdon is a clear better fit to our current lineup. As simple as that.Not sure I agree with "low chance of success" and "clear better way"
Not sure I agree with low sample size either. 20% of Conley's shots are catch and shoot, which is consistent throughout his career. He's got an EFG% on catch and shoot over 60% this season, which isn't an outlier. The problem as I see it, is simply shot selection. We need to do a better job of getting him these looks.Not sure I agree with "low chance of success" and "clear better way"
If this is true, here is an idea... Let Conley play his traditional role more while he is in, and play Mitchell more with the 2nd unit and let him dominate the ball more with them. This could sell 3 problems at once, letting Conley and Mitchell both play the way they want to play more, and are better at, and helping the bench unit get scoring, which seems to be a problem.Nope. Some shooters are just better shooting off the bounce than catch and shoot. Just looking at their 3pt % can be deceiving. Conley has spent his whole career with the ball consistently in his hands. But we need someone who is adapted at off-ball/catch n shoot. Conley isn't the one.

The best solution at this point is definitely getting Conley and DM to two different lineups. But when that happens, the Conley trade will basically come down as a major failure.If this is true, here is an idea...

Donovan plays like his USA teammates did at the world championship. Very greedy. He wants individual accolades before winning!!!! How did team USA go playing this way
LoPo, I think you are one of the smartest guys here, but I think you are way off the mark here with #2. Mitchell will become a superstar by winning, and he won't win by playing 1 on 5, especially doing that every play in the last 5 minutes. Conley may need time to learn the offense, maybe, I don't know, I don't see enough of the games, but if Conley is capable of being the point guard, they should let him be the point guard. By the way, I was very encouraged with Rudy's play on the offensive end against Philly.. I think he has improved. This team theoretically could be really good, if everybody plays to their potential. Obviously, it is not clicking yet.For me, this doesn't work for two reasons - #1 Mitchell is our best offensive player and #2 We can only contend for a title if Mitchell becomes a superstar. Conley needs to fit an offense built around ball movement and Mitchell in the last 5 minutes. He also needs to fit a defense built around Gobert. So far, Conley has disappointed.

This won't happen but they should put Joe as pg. Let him play similar to doncic. Obviously he's not that good but Joe can figure it out he's that smart. Donovan should only shoot in rythym or in the flow of the offence. And then U got Bojan who I believe is the jazz best offensive player. Who should get the most shotsNo, Donovan is trying to win. That's all he's trying to do. For team USA, he deferred a lot. In their big loss, he did everything he could to keep that team afloat.
Something is just off right now. Conley and Donovan are playing similarly and it's not bringing out the best in the team as a whole. There is no one guy to blame. They gotta figure it out.
