To use Crowder as an example/excuse to bring this up, DL deserves serious credit for utilizing a strategy that has been seemingly neglected/undervalued by focusing on competitive players that fit the team culture. I still believe that talent typically wins out, especially in this current NBA. But stockpiling 'winning players' is a fantastic, alternative strategy. Which actually has the potential to produce a title in our case due to the fortunate fact that 2 of those 'prototypical Jazz men' are legitimaten, young superstars. I consider myself fortunate to be a Jazz fan, Future championship or not, I look forward to rooting for this team to the end.
