Jazz are emerging as serious threats to sign Bojan Bogdanovic

[Miggs]

His career rebounding numbers are meh... so zero percent has to do with the other guys.

Royce has the best size of any of those guys to play the 4.

Bojan has a 1 inch longer wingspan than Royce. His standing reach is longer than Eric Paschall’s. So he does have better size. Bojan’s vert was also 11 inches better than Royce’s at their respective combines. 36 inches to 25.

Regarding rebounding, again, maybe playing on the perimeter hurts his numbers a lot. I’d be curious how his numbers stack up to other shooting guards and small forwards.

 

[idiot]

How much of his mediocre rebounding numbers are due to primarily playing on the perimeter and having Sabine’s/Young/Turner around him?

Also I think he has better size than Royce and Ingles.

Rebounding numbers have been quite consistent throughout his career, even when playing much more PF with Wizards. So I wouldn't expect an uptick.

Better size than Royce (at least height), but not than Ingles. He's listed at 6-8, but he looks a tad smaller than Hayward, as I was just rewatching one of their games. Ingles is just a bit taller than Hayward.

I stand corrected. Bogie has 2 inches on Royce though. Depends on match-ups. Utah would still need to invest in some beef up front if he does sign though.

Royce is thiccc doe and rebounds really well.

I like Bogie our at the perimeter. Spot 4 time.

I’d prefer another starting 4. Someone bigger and stronger. Boston Morris and Jabari Parker would be perfect. Young Rudy Gay (how much does he have in the tank).

I'm not a fan of the nickname Bogie, but we could use the following to make Boler's life easier

Co, Do, Joe, Bo, Ro and Go. Exum could be No depending on your opinion of him lol...

I agree. I have no issues whatsoever with using Bojan, Ingles and Royce as our primary 4's this season. We have the beast at center.

Listen I do have issues with it. I’d still very much like to sign Green to start and back up Gobert. And another legit sized 4.

For the long haul of the season, I agree with you. For the playoffs, I'm fine. I'm more worried about backup center.

Bjelica or Ilyasova if the Jazz can move on from Exum helps answer the question about the 4.

 

[Miggs]

Conley-32, Caruso-16
Mitchell-32, Exum-16
Ingles-18, O’Neale-15, Bojan-15
Green-12, Bojan-14, Ingles-11, O’Neale-11
Gobert-32, Green-16

I wouldn't be too concerned about back up C, the C market is going to be pretty cold compared to the rest of the FA market and I think we'll be able to find a serviceable backup C on a decent deal, or spend a bit more to get a 4 who can play spot 5 minutes with the MLE.

His wingspan is better than Joe’s, standing reach worse.

I could see us signing Trevor booker to a minimum deal to give us some minutes there... I’d love to see it.
