He probably sucks in practices

Yeah if that's the case fair enough.
I heard Locke saying otherwise (but that was a few weeks ago).

Just doesn't quite make sense though. If they had given up on him, prob needed to deal him without playing him this year. Now they have given him about 50-60 non-garbage minutes (all out of position) - and they have cemented this view that he is one of the worst contracts in the NBA. So now assets might have to be attached to get off his deal.

Giving him 10-15 minutes everynight for 25 games seemed like a fair deal for both sides.

I think at this point, Conloy prob needs to go to the bench. Play 28-30 mins on there.
 
Ed Davis has been a good +/- player. The Jazz have to give him more time since the alternatives arent good.

I thought Niang was great against the Warriors. Pushed the pace on all his rebounds and got the Jazz into early offense.

I think great is a bit strong but I agree with your general thoughts on him last night.

The alternatives arent good..... But they may be better (so far Bradley has been better imo)

Beginning of the season :
Starting lineup :
Conley-Mitchell-Bogdanovich-O'Neale-Gobert - OFFRTG : 113.9 - DEFRTG : 97.6 - NETRTG : +16.3
This lineup has not been used since Conley injury.

Main Bench lineup :
Mudiay-Mitchell-Ingles-Green-Davis - OFFRTG : 119.4 - DEFRTG : 71.2 - NETRTG : +48.2
This lineup has not been used since Davis injury.

Current lineup :
Starting lineup :
Mitchell-Ingles-Bogdanovich-O'Neale-Gobert - OFFRTG : 103.0 - DEFRTG : 102.5 - NETRTG : +0.5

Main Bench lineup :
Mudiay-Mitchell-Niang-Green-Davis - OFFRTG : 103.8 - DEFRTG : 125.9 - NETRTG : -22.2

Current problems :
- Conley injury
- With Conley's absence, Mitchell does too much
- Poor bench quality (too much G-league players)
- Davis and Gobert may not be 100%

Since Davis and Bradley have now played about the same number of minutes, I thought I'd compare their per-36 numbers. I'll leave you all to draw your own conclusions.

One of them seems to be clearly much better than the other. And is much younger. Seems like a no brainier.

I may be wrong but I think that was last year only... other years he’s been bad or average. I just don’t think he’s a good fit and we do have a better alternative in Bradley. He’s not a good alternative but he’s not super negative. He was apparently sick so not an option last night... I think Ed’s hands are worse than Udohs... that’s saying something.
 
Niang has been good last two games. He’s simplified and stayed more within himself. @Saint Cy of JFC mentioned him pushing it last night which was good... until a couple games ago he was pushing it but then forcing a drive that wasn’t there. He seems to have adjusted.

The other thing to remember... he’s kind of playing SF wing in the current lineups... he’s much more of a small ball handling 4. Our bench lineup is forcing him a little out of his ideal role and he is a role player... so I will cut him a little slack.
 
I think the bench unit has some hope but Ed can’t play. Green is like that Psycho but hot girlfriend you had in high school... there are times when you are like this is so great and other times when you are just like... Why the hell do I do this to myself... that’s okay for a bench guy.

Mudiay has been good and I am shocked at how much hate he gets. He was solid last night but missed a few shots... one bad turnover but he is playing the right way... he’s playing good defense and he can break the paint. He’s moving the ball a lot better. He will have his good shooting games and give a huge spark... his bad shooting games are getting better and you can see he is trying really hard to fit. I’m impressed with him ... in part because I thought he’d be awful, but still.

Niang is better used in Jeff Greens spot if we had another good wing. He needs to be our worst rotation player if he is a regular.

**** it, I get that green sucks but I'm still a big fan.
I'm blinded by him being the prototypical power forward for today's game on paper. Dude is the perfect size, athletic as ****, can shoot, can handle..... I have blinders on when it comes to Uncle Jeff. Flaws? What flaws? I can't see them
