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

So turnovers, the bench, and low free throw attempts seem to be the culprits so far as offensive efficiency goes.
You could make an argument that Conley helps address all of those things. At least if he learns how to mesh here, even at the expense of his production.
 
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.
His long history as a pick-n-pop artist matters, though. I’d feel almost entirely different about Conley and his reintegration if we had a pick-n-pop big for him.

Maybe Q will finally run some pick-n-pop with Conley and Bojan (with Rudy in the dunker spot)? Or we just seize Baynes at the right time, and thus unlock Conley AND get Joe another familiar target.
 
Chances the Jazz take over the number 1 seed if they win their next 6 games (a strong possibility) or will they still be behind the Lakers?

None, but f the Brow is really gimpy, the Jazz could close ground. The Lakers' next two are against playoff teams (on the road, I think.)

Start Gobert/Bogdanovic/Ingles/Mitchell/Conley. Run some pick and pops with him and Bogey. Then bring Royce first off the bench for Mike early. Let Gobert/Bogdanovic/Oneale/Ingles/Mitchell get some minutes in together. Then Bring Mike back in for Spida and let him get some run w/Royce, Jordan, Georges. Georges can be that pick and pop guy too

We better see some pick-n-pop sets. I’m tired of the alternatives we’ve seen.

I think we've seen the beginnings of some good ways to get Georges open. I think Mike could develop a good chemistry with Georges on those plays.
 
George Niang gaurding the prototypical SF sucks. George traditional PFs sucks. Niang guarding new school PF appears to be working well. He has been playing way better recently.

I really like the idea of running pick and pops with Conley and Bogey/Niang. Then continue letting Joe and Rudy run pick and rolls.

I need to see how much gravity Gobert retains in the dunker spot. If his defender shuts down Conley’s drive, and Conley can’t make him pay with a late dump off to Gobert, then the whole scheme could end up as another inefficient gambit.

Too many ball-handlers? What do you think of Conley off the bench feeding Niang, Mudiay and Bradley? Bradley is ready.
