He was much improved he’s similar to Ingles. He’s smart, and in good position at all time. He’s not Butler good, lacks those types of athletic tools
Jazz sign Bojan
- Thread starter Avery
- Start date

Slightly above average.
I think the biggest thing is he has already been a major contributor on an elite defensive team.
All we need from him on that side of the ball is to not **** everything up. He’s already there. He’s smart, got great fundamentals, and plays to win. Anything more is gravy.
I can't even imagine if you watched one of the dozens of low-light reels of times the Jazz went 5 minutes plus without scoring.
That chart is why he's the new guy I'm the most pumped about, though Conley is a very close second for about the same reason.

Let's quit sugar coating it. No, he is not known as a good defender and never has been. I'm hoping that Quinn Snyders system will change that about him. I am very very happy that he is one the team, but we need to say it like it is. He's going to add tremendous value on our team, but he is a horrific defender. I'm confident that Snyder can change that.

Sorry fool but many very knowledgeable NBA folk describe him as a very good defender. Above average. Even against players like LeBron

Not close to horrific.
Ok individual, good team defender.
Super athletic types will give him issues, but that's not uncommon.

He's not horrible, but he's a better team defender than man-to-man. Gobert and Davis will need to come off and help him once in a while due to lateral quickness problems. That said, I think he projects more as a 4 than a 3 in Utah's system and will spend time there. He's got he frame to guard muscular 3s as well.
Keep in mind also that our "defensive wing specialist", Dante, did a -1.4 DRPM and 110 DRtg last year. Same as Bojan.
I think one good thing is that it won’t require much adjustment to work him in to the offense. Whether we signed him or whether we signed Harris, they both just slide into the Hayward role on offense.
I don't think he'll have a tough adjustment on defense either. In Indy he played on a defense built around a good defensive center and it's the same here.

Isn't DB calling someone else clueless a textbook example of, "the pot calling the kettle black"?
