Rumor: Jazz interested in Dotson from the Knicks as a free agent
- Thread starter Thee Jazz Fan

I mean, sure if the Jazz can somehow find a guy big enough to play the 4 who can shoot, rebound, and defend while being proven enough to earn minutes but also cost close to a minimum deal, great! There just isnt much chance at that and the Jazz have dudes coming up like Brantley and Morgan developing who might fill that role next year.
The only wings in waiting the Jazz have are Oni and Tucker

Jesus you are annoying as ****. So you’ve said all year how Royce can play the 4 but at 6’4”, and as our most athletic wing, he can’t play the 2. Right. We have Conley, Mitchell, Clarkson and Royce to all play at the 1 and 2.
We don’t have one legit 4. Period.
What?
Yes, Royce can play the 2, 3, and 4 (and even 5 against a Houston). He can't play both at the same time. The Jazz have a wealth of options at the 4. It's almost a non-issue for them and I dont see much of a need to add flyers there when they have good ones developing (Morgan/Brantley). The biggest strength in the NBA is to have as many versatile athletic wings as possible.

It happened when he was a U of Oregon student. He was barred from the Oregon campus for four years and kicked out of school.
I thought you two were the same person..?
Dotson is a decent defender who can hit the three. Royce can do both things better than Dotson so he seems redundant since we have other needs.
I doubt we move Royce as Snyder loves him and he signed an extension; plus he's effective when he's not asked to guard guys half a foot taller than him.

How on Earth is having too many wing players who have size, defend, and shoot redundant?

Oh I've actually suggested Utah trade for Dotson before... He can really shoot it.. If they were to land him early reports would be "This guy makes everything at practice", which is how it was for the Knicks.
He got a raw deal this season too... With the Knicks being putrid from 3 he shoulda got way more burn.. Instead they just forced the ball to marcus morris.. yikes..

Dotson is no threat to Royce.. Kinda an apples and oranges thing, i dont think their redundant... Dotson is a pure SG.. If he's like Royce, its like the Royce Utah first signed... guy you get for cheap and put him on the bench and hope he can work his way into the rotation.
BTW - If both Royce and Dotson are in an open gym shooting 100 3's, I'd bet on Dotson to make more. for sure.
Dotsons career 36% is not really a good indicator of how good a shooter he is. He's not one dimensional but if he couldnt shoot the way he does, he wouldnt be at this level of basketball.
I mean the knicks floor spacing was pretty much un-****ing-believable this season.. to say their floor spacing was bad is a severe understatement, quite clearly the worst in the league, and 2nd worst probably isnt even remotely close...
