I dunno about defensively.
I think jazz fans develop hatred for players and just stick with it without really watching them. Guys like Big Baby, Zach, and CP3 all seem to be on the list of top most hated players by the Jazz. Yet, we'd kill to have them on our team.
Big Zach is a big ox who is limited with his jumping ability. Having said that, the dude isn't lazy. How often did we see Al fail to box out? Or Millsap just stand there as his man scored? Zach and Gasol have dominated the Spurs inside. He helped lead a Grizz team playing without Gay into the playoffs. He's one of the best rebounders in the game and has a much more physically dominate low post game than any of our bigs. I like Zach.
I still maintain that the jury is still out on Al Jefferson being an effective player on a playoff team. So far in his career he's proven to put up decent numbers on crappy teams. I haven't seen him lead anything, show an ability to be an efficient scorer, and do all the "little things" to win.
Millsap has proven to me that he's undersized and needs to work at playing the 3.
Favors has shown potential, but we'll see what happens....
Fess is junk. And Evans is wayyyy too skinny.
Yes, our PG situation is questionable. Is Harris the answer? Or is he just a bandaid for the real solution via draft/trade/FA?
Yes, our wings (other than Hayward) suck. Yet, I'm not seeing any wings that will be available at 6 that will significantly help us in the short and long term.
Might as well try and continue to draft size and strength inside.
As the best NBA teams have shown, you can never have too much size. And as the Celtics are showing, they really miss size (despite stats. Green for Perkins was a no brainer. But considering the size and physicality that Perkins plays with... The Celtics are missing him badly while the Thunder could care less).
