Jazz sign Thabo Sefolosha

Thabo Sefolosha

Great wing defender.
It'll be tough to score on the Jazz this year....it will be equally tough for the Jazz to score.

True. It will be interesting to see how Rubio changes the offense. I'm particularly interested in this lineup.

Ricky Rubio
Donovan Mitchell
Thabo Sefolosha
Joe Ingles
Rudy Gobert

That's not bad. He's a bridge for when we draft a SF in the next season or two. Now all we need to do is address the PF situation and find a stretch who can hit shots and the roster will be depth-set.

Look for Utah to try to sniff out Ryan Anderson from the Melo to Rockets trade

He's good insurance for Hood missing games.

Thabo has had just as many injury concerns and had some towards the end of last season and into the playoffs if I remember correctly.

Meh.

0% chance with that contract.

Good move, good rotational piece at good price. He can still be a defensive force. 2.3 DRPM(7th best defensive SF in the league).... Nobody's gonna score on us! Like... EVER!


Also... 2.2 steals per 36!!! This might signify a significant departure from the style of play on D. I think Quin needs to change the schemes a bit. We need to utilize all the steal-masters we've gotten this off-season - Mitchell, Rubio, Sefolosha... they are all elite at it and this all can play into speeding up the offense a bit with Rubio's passing and play in transition.

I like it overall... Still not sure how we are going to score in half-court.

It's going to be pretty simple. Pressure ball, jump lanes, and funnel into Gobert

I like Anderson but we better be getting something else awesome for taking him and his contract.

Rubio/Exum/Neto
Hood/Mitchell/Burks
Ingles/Sefalosha
Favors/Johnson/maybe Griffin
Gobert/Bradley/Bolomboy

- It would be nice if we could swap Burks out for some sort of big. I think a rotation of Rubio/Exum/Hood/Mitchell for the backcourt is rather secure, especially since Ingles Sef and Johnson can all technically play the 2.
- Johnson playing pinch minutes at the 4 is dope but we really, really need to rely on him less during the regular season. He himself mentioned feeling weathered by the time he hit the 2nd round, which is totally fair.
- We might need to go after a Ed Davis type at the 4/5 position, I'm not sure Bradley is ready to back up Rudy.
- We really need Bolomboy to pick it up for the rest of summer-league. Pretty brutal seeing him suffer like this.

I was thinking there might be an Atlanta connection with Quin, but Quin didn't coach Thabo.

2nd year is full guarantee ?

Holy ****, I didn't know he had a $60 million book along with him. That GM should feel bad.

Jazz are going to go from being one of the worst steals teams to one of the leaders.
