Utah has the framework to contend now. If Utah can swing keeping a guy like Neto around, we're golden.
Going into the off season, Utah's biggest issue was shooting and offensive weapons. The system generated open looks but nothing connected. Mitchell was getting honed-in on by opposing D's. So Utah gets Conley and Bojan. Nice, but we lose some of that defensive toughness in Favors and the insurance in case the ONE guy they can't have go down for a while in Gobert.
Utah signs Davis to a sweetheart deal for the team. He happens to be one of the better defenders in the league (D+/- only second to Gobert and a rebounding monster) and is perfectly capable of anchoring a second unit.
Zanic isn't messing around, boys. LET'S F***ING GO!!!

Can't hit a free throw to save his neck! But otherwise, pretty solid backup!

Dude shot 61% last year while Gobert shot 63%. I'm perfectly okay with that for now.
Reed isnt making the team now.

Corrected the OP. Thanks. I've not had coffee today apparently.
Sure, first thing to mention about the guy is free throws... because the Jazz brought him on to hit free throws.
Jazz gonna suck guys, Ed Davis isn't very good at free throws. Sorry to rain on the parade.

Yeah, Davis makes Reed super redundant. Helps Bradley out.

Jeez guys... free throws? Really?
Was he expected to be a 48 min starter? Offensive juggernaut? Play ahead of Gobert in crunch time?
Some of you are just being stupid.
Davis is a dream backup to Gobert at a damn good price.

I've been watching a lot of Ed Davis game highlights. Aside from running the floor like a gazelle (for his size) he always seems to have really good timing and he tends to be in the right place at the right time. He also has good hands and doesn't fumble the ball.
Seems like a very humble guy too:

I know you're only kidding and ---- the Lakers but...
Plus Shaq makes Ed Davis look like Mark Price on the line....

Conley, Davis and Bogdonavic are all regarded as great teammates. I’m expecting the team’s chemistry to continue to be excellent moving forward.

Davis is like DFavs lite. Not as good of a shooter or defender, but somewhat close on defense and a better rebounder.
He's gonna fit in well here. I like that Utah is bringing in likable players.
