2023 Annual JazzFanz Current Players Draft - Round 1: Team A vs. Team B

[sip]

They put all the shooters on the bench. This is about the worst starting 5 you can put around Embiid stylistically.

Jrue struggles intensely on offense and has huge stretches of awful playoff shooting.

Brown is an OK shooter who thrives more off spacing (which he doesn't have with this starting unit).

Paolo and Gordon both can't shoot.

Embiid is a mediocre 3pt shooter.

Embiid is not a mediocre 3pt shooter. Prior to this last season he had 2 straight season over 37%

Jrue is a rock solid 3pt shooter.

Brown is a career 36.5% 3pt shooter and has had 3 seasons over 38%

Gordon is nothing special from 3 but has to be at least guarding out there.

Banchero sucked from 3 last year but I would put money on him improving considerably in that department this season.

Off the bench they have 4 solid 3pt shooters to provide plenty of spacing. The roster lacks elite 3pt shooters but to act like he has a bunch of non shooters is stupid. The only guy on the roster can't shoot is Jakob. Based on Paulo still be unproven as a 3pt shooter at this point though I would probably switch up the starting lineup a little with either Reaves or Williams in place of Paulo and moving Gordon to the 4.

Every year Jrue crumbles in the playoffs as a shooter.

I don't think either team has much legs to stand on as far as shooting goes. Shai+Jimmy+Bam+Gobert....all amazing players but they don't/can't shoot. I love the guys team B can put in the game off the bench though. Some of them should probably be starting. I prefer the top end talent on team A more, but the fit and bench is so much better on team B.

Would’ve helped if I had logged in and voted for myself.

Oh well.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Ouch

 

[Miggs]

I was clearly better at 3 starting spots. And Rudy, Bam and Valanciunas would cause enough issues for Embiid.

Jazzfanz is wild.

I just didn't like the way your starting lineup fit together. You have 2 bigs in Rudy and Bam that don't stretch the floor and then you pair them with a sf in Butler that is a mediocre 3pt shooter.
