Did anyone else catch these comments from Coach Guthrie as reported by Andy Larsen?

It was something Dennis Lindsey already mentioned, that Mitchell and Rubio will be able to gamble on the perimeter because Rudy is standing behind them.
People worrying about the Jazz not scoring enough points without Hayward maybe don't account for how slow Hayward made the game on both ends.
More from Larsen...
though I might add, that Alec Burks might also benefit from a faster pace and more wide open court.
Also, Locke reiterated today that Lindsey walked around to all the Jazz employees at Mitchell's work out and told them if they leaked info about how good he was, they would be fired.
I love you Mr. Lindsey.

"This past year, we were a good defensive team, but we were a containment defensive team," Guthrie said. "We weren't a team that generated a lot of turnovers. For us to infuse Donovan Mitchell into that with his length and his skills is really something interesting."

The big question without Gordon Hayward on the roster is how will the Jazz score the ball? The defense should be as good as before, but the offense will need help. One source of that help might come from forcing more turnovers, thus getting out in transition more. That's especially true with Ricky Rubio, Dante Exum, and Mitchell on the team, all transition-oriented guards.
