Jazz Sign Patty Mills

This is not a sign of anything roster or depth wise. This is simply a sign of having lots of young players and needing an adult in the room. Patty has always been a vibes/locker room god.
 
Collier right now is our backup point guard. There is a good chance he's not ready for that yet.
Before this signing I wasn't expecting to Collier finding non garbage time minutes at all between Sexton, George, Clarkson and Sensabaugh, as long as all of these were available. I'd be sure that Sexton would start, not so sure about Clarkson or George, but that George would be riding as main PG when Sexton was on the bench.

Now I see even more time at G-league for Collier in his rookie year, and I don't think It's a bad thing. As far as I know (as little as I know) he needs working and that's a reason he fell as much as he did in the whole draft process

Considering what we saw in the past, the most I'd say minutes wise is that Patty could be there as an extra guy with a different playstyle to Clarkson to be playing out there If George isn't earning his minutes on the court.
 
Maybe. Who knows. Not so sure what a Sexton trade would mean to our efforts to get to the salary floor of these later signings

Sexton is too damn good. Could we trade him for the corpse of Jinglin Joe and have fun driving the tank off the cliff?
 
A+ locker room and character guy. My only concern is that we no longer have room for a revolving door of G-League prospects to cycle through. I’d probably cut one of Svi/Juzang/Eubanks before Patty though.

Yeah. I’m pretty sure the Jazz are going to try to start out slow this year, and still do the “trading deadline firesale” that they’ve had the past two seasons. Sexton and probably Clarkson get dealt this year imo. Maybe a surprise guy like Svi or Eubanks if they show out in limited roles on team friendly contracts.

Eh, there really isn’t a fire sale to be had. Most of the vets are gone. Sexton/Kessler have value, but they can obviously be part of the future as well. Collins and Clarkson have no market.

I don’t consider this roster to be similar to previous rosters on opening day despite people hammering that point for some reason.

I don't think Clarkson or Sensabaugh would get time at the 1. The way I was envisioning the rotation was Sexton and Keyonte starting, then Clarkson comes off the bench, and then Collier gets some time at the 1 for the time that both Keyonte and Sexton are on the bench together. I think Sensabaugh would get time at the 2/3, but honestly I'm not a huge fan and so I probably haven't been factoring him in to the rotation much at all.
