Conley Benched

[green]

I think Zanik/DL thought they were getting a much more capable defender. His advanced stats on D were good last year. He either fell off a cliff or has desire problems.

I think Conley has been wretched on D for most of the year. He’s been so bad that he’s forcing the rest of the guards and wings to play out of position.

I said this to a friend:

Conley compared to Rubio the Jazz went:
+1 point
+1% on three point %
-4 assists
Wash on PER
-1 defensive win share
-2.4 defensive box plus/minus

Conley hasn't been a significantly better offensive player and a much worse defensive player for Utah than Rubio was.
