Simone Fontecchio Two-year deal

It's not the shooting for me, it is more likely to come than not with time. Especially if they are catch and shoot opportunities.

My biggest worry is the lack of seperation. I thought that overdribbling was a simple fixable issue that needed to be outgrown. Now, I think he is busting out moves for 6-7 seconds just to create an advantage because he can't break down defenses consistently. It really hampers his potential and limits him to be a secondary ball-handler off the bench and that's not very alluring.

He has a tendency to play with his food too much. Hopefully a bigger role will bring out his best.
 
We can work with a ultra-athletic big who has a nice looking shot with a quick release. He's a 85% FT shooter and close to 45% 3-pt shooter.

He's still relatively young and promising, so there's no reason that he can't be a piece of the rebuild.

These are among the players in the same age cohort as Fontecchio (according to Basketball Reference). Should they also be regarded as young and promising (rather than simply good or bad), and an age-appropriate piece of our rebuild (if available)?:
  • Trey Lyles
  • Jabari Parker
  • Dante Exum
  • Monte Morris
  • Aaron Gordon
  • Zach Lavine
  • KAT
  • Jokic
  • Wiggins
  • Kuzma
  • Poetl
  • Porzingis
  • Josh Hart
  • Dillon Brooks
  • Juancho
Seems to me these guys (and probably Fontecchio) fit a lot better age-wise if the idea is to retool around Donovan.

Yeah, let's bring back Trey Lyles. A fan favorite.

According to you, the Jazz had 0 small forwards at the time of his signing. Is that not reason enough to sign him?
 
Jazz are keeping their options open. I believe the reports that they aren't desperate to trade Donovan and will only do so for a very good package.
