In the halfcourt he can be a secondary ball handler, playmaker, curler, and spot up shooter (yes, I believe can return to his shooting form from 3 that he had in 12-13, when he is not the primary ball handler and #1 option). He also helps to secure rebounds.
It means I believe he is easily the 3rd best player on a contender. You act like he's devoid of playmaking skills, which is completely false. If he's the focal point, he'll struggle, just like any #2 or #3 would if they were forced to be the #1. Also, being stuck in a halfcourt set constantly because of other players (old RJ, Trey being stuck on that 35 second shot clock pace, and the oft injured Marvin deserve the blame for this), wasn't the best situation for him last year. He has a lot of offensive potency in the open floor, like most of our young guys do, minus Trey.
Defensively, he is pretty good on the perimeter. He's not an SF, he's an SG who can play the SF situationally, and for the SG spot he has great size, lateral quickness, stance, and other defensive skills. The knock I have on his team D is him not rotating to help the helper. It's a trust issue, but it's pretty understandable considering he had Trey and RJ as defensive counterparts on the perimeter. Both were atrocious.
I don't see him as easily replaceable. He has improved every year he's been in the league, with the exception of shooting, but that probably has more to do with transitioning from the #4 option the #1 option, when he should be the #3 option.
The argument I've seen from you in the past is, "why don't we get rid of Gordon and acquire other cheaper options that as a whole fulfill his skillset?" How is this efficient? You'dmhave to play two players instead of one, but never achieve Gordon's true value, because by playing two players that have make up his skill set you must now not play another player who did other things for the team. Only 5 players can be on the court at one time, so having some players who can be multi-dimensional will only help to separate you from the competition.

Be prepared for someone to say you can't use stats. They know what they saw, er... What they were told by Utah media.
Seriously can't understand why people didn't expect growing pains after rarely playing on any team, going from third tier competition to first year, a missed offseason of training, possible psychological hurdle to jump over when being physical after injury, possible mental hurdle of having your coach tell media you don't give team chance to win when there were a hundred other variables at play, and having the most roller coaster like minutes distributed of anyone on the team. Oh, and he was 21! Could've been a rookie this upcoming year.

'Cause that was so great?
Wow. He gave us the 5th pick in a 4 person draft. Thanks Trey!

pretty sure, eh?
Horrible argument. Why not single out any other wins? Of because that wouldn't fit your story.
For someone who defends knater so fiercely it is weird to see you make the same kind of attacks on Trey that you defend Kanter from.

Now that you've chimed in about the quality of comedy, I'm gonna have to re-assess. Everything.

First of all, I'm not singling Trey out.
But...
Trey played AAU, has been coached, played two years of college, got starter minutes his first year in the league, is undersized and undr-athletic, and was the 9th pick in one of the worst drafts ever for a reason.their pasts are very different. Trey is only 6 months younger than Kanter. They have never been the same caliber of a prospect. Not even close.
Anyways, it was a simple response to a comment from Dalamon. Trey hit a buzzer beater... But he shot 38% for the year. It was also against Orlando, down the tank stretch when everyone told him what was on the line. I don't see that as being for the team. I see that as being for his highlight reel. Having said that, I never want a player ina Jazz uni to tank. Ever. But, I'm not so sure the shot is as great as some on here try to make it out to be.
