Has any member of the media asked the Jazz FO why they didn’t draft Herb Jones to address the need for perimeter defense? What’s the point of Butler if we already have Clarkson, Conley, and Mitchell? Was butler insurance in case we traded Clarkson or Conley broke down? Herb Jones Seems like such a no brainer pick, especially considering what the Clippers did to us.

Why on Earth would the media be bringing up not drafting Herb Jones at this point?

You are dumb as hell if you think New Orleans, a team that starts Jaxson Hayes at PF, has better depth or supporting cast than Utah.

I would agree on Memphis and Minny as far as depth goes, but not overall starting 5 talent.

We have Royce as our starting PF, so not sure we are in the position to mock them. also they have Larry Nance Jr at the bench AND Zion who's scheduled to return, who do we have as our backup 4?

also we have one of the worst starting 5 amongst playoff teams. like I said, outside of Donovan and Rudy, none of our starters could even rank within top 15 of their respective positions.

If the media ever asked about drafts during the playoffs I'd expect them to be fired for being dumb.

The answer is, we only take three types of players on the roster: (1) old, slow 3s and 4s; (2) rim-protecting bigs; and (3) undersized exploitable guards. Herb didn’t fit any of those categories.

We are built to score everywhere and defend nothing at all. All we can do on defense is funnel everything into the post. Literally the only thing needed to beat this Jazz squad is a guard with a quick first step and a stretch big. That’s it. I am an idiot and I just deconstructed our entire defensive philosophy.
 
Who gives a **** if Gobert has no offense. Look at the team built around him. If we can't win due to Gobert's inability on offense, then we've already lost.

The amount i've seen Memphis Mike Conley kill the jazz in the past, hitting shots from everywhere - where is that Mike Conley, fair enough he is older but we should be getting that Mike Conley every now and then.

Legit question, what can Quin do? When Rudy helps there is no cover for his man, the perimeter defenders have to move which would be Quin's instruction. But they don't, what other option is there? He tried House and O'Neale down the stretch which is a good move to try. What else is there?

Mitchell needs a lengthy athletic guard more than capable on defense next to him. If that means blowing away all depth then so be it, fill out the bench with turds
