Character Assissination by Quin and DL

Yeap, that's it. Davis size is a problem, even more if he's playing with another thin guy (JGreen). I concur we've not watched his true basketball yet.

And Davis has zero skills on the offensive end. But Bradley's lack of quickness on defense is what's keeping him on the bench. He's actually pretty good around the basketball offensively and also a good rebounder on both ends.

Davis is a pretty good team defense player, and a good rebounder. He's coming off a broken leg and you can still see the hesitation some times. His rebounding numbers from last season were impressive. He is more likely to return to mean, and so is Tony Bradley. The Jazz bet on Ed Davis when he signed a 2 year, 10M deal.


From an article on the day of the signing of Ed Davis:

He’s also an elite rebounder — even better than Favors — corralling 22 percent of available rebounds per NBA.com (Basketball Reference’s estimate had him even higher at just over 25 percent). Davis was top-three league-wide by either measure.

Most are like that I would think.

I think if we had a bigger market we would have a larger media presence that would include more voices that are critical of the team.

So his burst of speed coming back is prob just needing more time than a physical fault ?

This could be, the Jazz don't feel they have the time for that, and I agree.

I mean it was a serious injury. I know it wasn’t a full year. But look at Andre Roberson. He prob won’t get full speed back for half a season.

Davis is terrible in the PNR. Sets bad screens, doesn't roll hard or to the right spot and can't catch the ball when it comes to him. He's not a post up guy but he's even less of a PNR player.

He's been tentative thus far, but I think you're wrong about his hands and his ability to run the PNR.
