Defending Champions

If you are maximizing bad defense, put Preston at center

No, we can't. For two reasons. Firstly, the Jazz want to use this season mostly as the learning experience for the young players and what will they be learning? How to play your position on a team with a tiny PG at the center and what kind of play to run in this situation? That's useless.

Secondly, other teams tanking for the high pick in 2025 will have to counter this move and get ahead by signing and playing one-legged and blind centers. And that would totally rob Team USA at Specials Olympics.

I think they drafted Hendricks primarily because of defense at least. Not saying much since there were 8 other dudes that they wanted more than him though.

When we drafted Hendricks I was hoping he would be in the same stratosphere as Jaren Jackson. It looks like it's a strong possibility. If Hendricks plays good defense and is a third scoring option I'm happy. The guy has a lot of time before his prime and he's looking pretty damn good VS last season; I'm glad he has a lot of fans on this board as he's going to make us all happy.
