The Jazz need to get a starting stretch 5.

GVC said:
If you're just saying the Jazz need a big who can stretch the floor, that's fine. Playing with either Frye or Hawes, however, Favors would be the 5 (not that these position definitions are terribly meaningful). He's much stronger AND a much better rim protector than either of those two.

Also, can you explain what defensive rating is and why it's a good measure of defensive ability?

Are you on drugs? Hawes is 7'1.

This is the stat sheet I like for defense:

Because they are taller???? The hell. You on drugs?? My god this is one of the dumbest i idiotic lines I've ever heard!!!! You need to just realize how dumb you are and walk away from jazzfanz and join clutchfans.... Yes that's where you need to be. Even jazzhacks is too good for you, and wouldn't subject those idiots to you!!!




























I'm not done..... How has jazzfanz survived this long with you here? Do you even remotely understand the things you say? There is no rhyme or reason to anything you say! When you start one of your mindless threads there's a collective groan on jazzfanz that it registers on the Richter scale

































This is me getting on both my wrecked knees pleading with you to stop making new threads!!!!!!

This should be the #1 thing on their list after the draft and finding a new coach. The three guys I am thinking about are Spencer Hawes, Channing Frye and Jason Smith. I would probably lean towards Frye because he can hit that 3 points shot consistently. So here is why we need this:

-It moves Favors into his natural position at PF

-It gives us shooting and stretches the floor

-Gives us depth in the front court


Derrick Favors/Enes Kanter
Channing Frye/Rudy Gobert

Both of these combination's really maximize each other's strengths and those combo's will really mesh well together. All by adding one skill specific player it will move Kanter and Favors back to their natural positions and create nice depth and matchups problems for opposing teams.

You are too worried about 4s and 5s and PF and Cs. They are all just bigs. They have different skills and can play different roles. Do you think teams will defend favors differently if he is labeled a PF instead of a C? Will the Jazz offense be different?

As to your point about a stretch big, Kanter can probably shoot the 3. If our new coach is not a neanderthal we will find out next year.
 
It's so funny, nowadays all basketball fans and coaches/experts wanna talk about is stretching the floor with a big. I understand the analytics and thought process behind it but it's all about the players ability to ball and coaches ability to play a system to your players strength.

Neither team of Indiana, Chicago, Washington, San Antonio, LAC, Houston, Portland, GSW and Memphis have a "stretch-big" in their starting lineup and all of these teams made the POs and are good teams. You don't necessarily need a big that has range beyond the three point line, you need players who have skills and know the game and coaches who know how to game plan.

I just thought I'd pop in here and help this thread reach the third page. Then, it'll be unimpeachably important. Later, I'll notify Dennis Lindsey.
