Should The Jazz Target Kevin Porter Jr?

significant concerns about his inefficient shooting/scoring. otherwise he's a good player. but it's just hard to win in the nba when your high volume scorers are below average efficiency.

He was pretty darn efficient this past season. One of the best C&S players in the NBA, got to the FT line.

This was January last year:

.

Things may have changed since then, but there does seem to be a bit of a pattern. It will be interesting to see how he reacts when playing time may be limited. That said, I'd be happy to give the Rockets the 2nd round pick they traded for him or even a couple of 2nds.

PS: not sure what's happening to the spacing in this post, but the link seems to work.

Sounds like a being on the Rockets issue.
 
Interesting. I'd hire a low level Rockets assistant or staffer for some insider info if you were taking this flyer. His problems seemed a bit too deep for me but if he has done a ton of maturing then I get it. His contract is such that its a low risk from that standpoint so he has some motivation to be on his best behavior.

I'd want DEEP intel. I think the price would be pretty easy to meet with the other moves they have made I don't see it going super well with Porter Jr. if he becomes second string pg competing with Amen for touches.

We seem to have lots of options at point guard and undersized shooting guard currently on the roster. Also have lots of options at the 4 and 5. Im hoping if we add anymore to the roster that we add a bigger shooting guard and/or a small forward.

Good thing Kevin Porter JR has + 2guard size and is equal length to many SF's.
 
The star market just seems kind of thin. Next best thing might be looking at these youth talent stacked teams and try to get the guy who is in danger of being cast to the side (ala James Harden back in OKC)

Options? Options?

Our best player on the roster play SF, so I'm not sure what rocks you smoking fish.
 
I'm just thinking out loud here but, to me if he's moved before the season, he seems like he'd be the "pot sweetener" in a bigger trade, likely a 3+ team trade, like if MIA was trying to get other teams to help them get Dame.

For the Jazz I don't dislike the idea I'm just trying to think who's spot he would take to get minutes. I think if he is traded it'd likely be during the season after HOU settles on a rotation and he is not getting the minutes he wants or deserves.
 
I would be pretty hesitant to make a move for him. If we had more of a veteran roster then maybe but I don't really want him around our young guys.

I don’t want him for the simple fact that we’ve got 2-3 players at his position that talent wise is very close and quite a bit less money. But I would have no problem with him around the team otherwise
