Game Thread Oct 06, 2021 06:30PM MT: Jazz at Mavericks (Preseason)

[Jingled]

With Gay out, yes....but when he's healthy Whiteside is easily the worst player in our top 9. Locke also said that we might be wanting to shift Ingles to more of a 4/wing to save him the burden of being a primary ball handler. Makes sense because Butler has got to play.

Once we have Gay back, I think we should look at Whiteside/Paschall as a matchup dependent decision. Maybe even before Gay is healthy if we want to play Butler and move Ingles off the ball.

I don't think the Jazz are looking to move Ingles off the ball, during the scrimmage he was handling the ball a ton. I think that's more just what Locke thinks they should do. He's too good of a playmaker to take the ball out of his hands. I expect Gay to get all of the backup 4 minutes.

what's impressive about this highlight is that his best plays were against Mavs starting unit/main rotation. The kid has definitely shown that he deserves a spot in the rotation. 15-20 minutes a night at least.

Where are we going to find him 15-20 minutes a night?? I think Quin will stick with his 9 man rotation and Butler will only play on nights when guys are out.

Against the Spurs, Oni was decent. Not tonight though.

decent like 2 of 3 for 6 points...... definitely not anywhere near good enough to make up for his long string of bad games. Low ceiling low floor at its finest display.

According to our rotation depth chart from last season, our 8th and 9th man are no longer here, which leaves 30min open for grabs. plus i can see us further taking minutes from Conley/Joe/Bogey due to their age. Making it roughly 40 minutes available for Butler/Forrest/Paschall. And we don't have to worry about Gay until mid-season after he is fully recover.

Butler will get 15 minutes a night, but he's also getting lots of DNPs. When everyone is healthy, there isn't a spot for him in the rotation.

But we replaced our 8th and 9th men with Gay and Whiteside, and I think Gay will be back well before mid-season. Quin has never used a 10 man rotation and he's not going to start now. When healthy the rotation will be Conley/Mitchell/Bogey/Royce/Gobert/Iingles/Clarkson/Gay/Whiteside. Butler, Paschall and Forrest won't be a part of the regular rotation.

He has. When FO actually did do their due diligence filling out the roster, Quin was more than willing to expand his rotation. You can't ask Quin to play 10 guys when there hasn't been 10 legit NBA players on the roster for the past 2-3 seasons.

Butler’s going to get minutes every night. The team has made no secret about the fact that they need to keep a watchful eye on Conley’s minutes in an attempt to keep him fresh and healthy for the playoffs and JZ hasn’t been shy about the fact that they think Butler is ready to contribute now. It will fluctuate depending on injuries/load management, but this kid isn’t getting very many DNP’s in his rookie season. Mark the tape.

I don’t like his three stroke, he kicks his legs out - looks forced.

It reminds me of DeShawn Stevenson.

Hope you’re right! I mean we all see it, but Snyder is a hard nut to crack! And cracking that magical 9 man rotation could prove to be a daunting task.

I have to go home and see what my wife is doing.

Good comparison! Where’s Horny Toad (shot doctor) when you need him?
