Post ASB with Exum starting.
The Jazz are 6-2 (lost to Lakers and Celtics)
+8.4 point differential (2nd in the NBA)
83 ppg allowed (1st in the NBA)

He offense might be terrible but he is a smart kid and a pesky defender already. And his team is winning games!

He could, yes. But Exum plays awesome defense and so he needs to start whether at PG or SG (if his shot improved).

Exum plays OK defense. He gets beat quite often, Regardless, he's a net liability because he contributes next to nothing on offense. Loved that three at the end of the half; it made it halfway to the basket :rolleyes:.

The PG possibilities are pretty slim. Most teams decided on their PG's at the deadline and will match any offers. Lin is about the only viable solution I see. I'm just so tired of seeing Dante wet his pants every time he gets the ball into the paint...even when he's OPEN for a shot.

We are winning games IN SPITE OF Dante, not because of him. It's kind of like taking any number of ****ty players from Miami or San Antonio the past few years and giving credit to them for championships instead of the real studs who earned those titles.

I really don't like the idea of having Trey on the team next year, but I also don't like the idea of continuing to start Exum as he is way too raw. I think we can get into the playoffs next year with improved wing play.

What do you think about trading Trey for a back up wing player next year?

Burks - Exum
Hood - Wing player from trade(SG or SF)
Hayward - Millsap/Ingles
Favors - Booker
Gobert - Tomic

Some people might think Burks and Exum can start next year but I think we need more shooters in the starting lineup. Hood I think can provide that.

No. You have to have some perimeter defense, especially to stay in front of PGs.
 
Burks is one of my favorite players on the team, and he could play PG he really shouldn't. He isn't a great passer and his BBIQ isn't the highest. It might work in this offense, but I think Burks could be a lot more effective as a SG. Really just depends on how much he is able to get use to Snyders offense when he comes back
