Defense!

Corbin said the Jazz will work on defensive adjustments to begin camp.
Aggressiveness, commitment and pick-and-roll defense will be priorities,
and some unspecified changes will be made on how Jazz players
rotate in help-defense situations.



And this from Coach Ty; hope he MEANS it!

“I want this team to be a hard-working, self-accountable group of guys that
just go out and compete every minute that we’re on the floor,” Corbin said.
“If we do that, everything else will take care of itself.”

"Unspecified changes will be made on HOW Jazz players rotate in help-defense situations."

Music to my ears. Sounds like a departure from the Jerry School of "always drop on drivers", "always fight over screens", and most importantly (I hope) actually identifying the weaknesses of players on the floor and defending accordingly -- drop off Ariza, don't ever drop on Gallinari, be vigilant about forcing Zach right hand, that kind of thing.
