That makes no sense.

Starting SG for Thunder doesn't take that many shots.

Check SG's for Lakers, Atlanta, Celtics, Miami, Spurs and some other teams.. seriously, SG/SF who cares, just in general running plays for perimeter players was never in Jazz playbook under Sloan, I hoped Corbin will change it a bit to look more current.

Well yeah; but it kinda helps when you have the most prolific scorer in the NBA on your team

Jazz don't have the type of scoring talent where they can afford to go 5 on 4 every trip down the floor on offense. They don't need a SG to score 20ppg; but they need a guy who can spread the floor and a guy the defense has to think about.

Bell horrid FG% only tells have the story. Virtually, every shot he's taken this year was either coming off curls or uncontested. To only shoot when you're wide open and to shoot this poorly tells me your time has come and gone in the league. The faster the The Jazz come to realize this the better.

It also helps when the Thunder choose to let their second leading scorer, a shooting guard, come off the bench, though he too is probably only averaging around nine shots a game.

The point I was trying to make is that your team can have a leading scorer anywhere, doesn't really matter what position they are as long as they get the job done. There isn't a rule that says you must have a starting SG who has to shoot 12 times per game to win.

And they certainly don't have the type of talent where they can afford to go 5 on 4 on both ends.

It works better if your 1 and 3 are huge scoring threats. But Gordon and Harris aren't those kind of players so we need more a scoring threat from our 2.

I think it is, or at least use to be, a general rule of thumb that you want your bigs to be your primary scoring threats. Big men are more efficient and can dominate more than a wing player.

Lakers have Kobe
Celtics have Allen
Miami has Wade
Spurs have Ginobili

Those are four of the best shooting guards, maybe even players, of our generation. Who on earth do the jazz have at SG that even comes CLOSE to comparison? Who have the Jazz EVER had at SG that was nearly as good (other than Horny)? You're telling me that we should scrap most of our offense, and dedicate more looks to Raja Bell and CJ Miles?

And using Atlanta as a model-team for a great offense is a bit of a joke. I felt it was best that I just pretended that you never mentioned them.

That article was Goebbels-esque.

This won't be popular, but who do we have at any position that is on the level of those guys? Was just thinking today that we are low bbIQ (between some bone-headed vets and rooks that are just still too green), too many are lazy on the fundamentals (i.e. boxing out), and we don't have any elite players. Players with elite potential, certainly, but not currently.

Fixed.
