He didn't look slower than he did last year. He wasn't particularly athletic or relied on it the last few years anyways.
I found the signing weird as he didn't play all year and wasn't in any team practice so he needs some time to get back to game condition. May be the jazz thought that he would be a different look in practice and teach the team some stuff. He is very savvy and high-character and if ever he needs to be on court, that experience can help him hold his own.
