The Jazz's guards all looked pretty good last night. Mitchell, Conley, Clarkson and Mudiay all showed that they could find ways to score. So there's that.

Pretty much agree up until the last sentence.

I think the Jazz role for the 4 is to work outside in: has to be able to hit a 3 before being able to make use of other skills. Niang was a versatile, all-over-the-court threat in college, but until he solidified the 3-ball and proved he was a threat there first, he didn't fully fit the Jazz's scheme. In the Jazz's system, I don't think Brantley's 3-ball is ready to unlock his versatility yet.

This may be true, but the Jazz don't really need Brantley to open up his dribble-drive game or handle the ball much. If Brantley can be a 3D forward who can guard 3s and 4s, like a PJ Tucker, that would be a huge plus for the Jazz right now. He'd need to hit around league-average on his 3s (35% or 36%). He was doing this during his last 10 G-league games of the season. We know he can attack a close-out and make a play from there. The key for him right now is defense and knocking down shots from the corner.

He should certainly be better at this than Tony Bradley.
