So, um, we’re the best three point shooting team

There are several factors here imo:
Second coming of Joesus Ingles, improved ball movement, we finally use blender and it works, we struggled to get open looks in the beginning of the season, cutting Jeff Green which resulted in more looks for Niang and acqusition of Clarkson who is also shooting well for 3 so far.

You’ve submitted a false choice. As we’ve seen the past couple of weeks, good ball-moving offense can produce good 3-pt attempts. Do more of that instead of settling for floaters and mid-range jumpers.

Im all for us taking the taking the 3 just as long as we are aggressive with our ball movement and spacing. I dontcwant us to fall into the trap we didc3 or 4 times last year and just chuck up 3s. Yes crowder and dm im talking about you.

Quin has a pattern on this. He wants to see who can create an advantage, one-on-one, and how they can do it. I think that’s an early stage of building his offense.

But slow starts are a real bummer. The likelihood that seeds 2-6 are separated by just 3-4 games is pretty high. Our December woes could cost us a lot.

Great point and you're probably right. My suspicion for that early season offense was always that Quin was gameplanning for deeper into the season as well.

It was frustrating tho.

Yes because we were running nothing but iso single high screen over and over and over and over. Our offensive gameplan was trash. Some people think that Mike being out and Joe starting changed everything. It didn't. Quin ditching the iso garbage in favor of our usual blender offense is what changed things.

I agree, that’s obviously a big part of it, but I’m not sure that alone can account for the league leading 3 % and overall scoring ability. Team seems to have developed some swag and I think that may be the new faces, many with serious reps and cred which engendered some healthy competition, dedication and improved work ethic.

Because our offensive was complete **** for like the first 20 games. Way too much iso.

Conley was doing a lot of iso. And either turning it over or bricking. At least, that’s what I remembered.

Yep. Donovan too. The whole team. It's a big reason why people shouldn't overreact to Conley's bad shooting at the start of the season. The whole team was struggling with the iso offense. Put him our blender offense and it's very likely a different story just like it has been for the rest of the team.

We’ll see. The jazz are better when they’re a taller and longer team. Mitchell and Conley together makes them the shortest backcourt in the nba. It changes them from being strong defensively in the backcourt to being a defensive liability.
