Start Mitchell at the Point.

[Et tu Brute]

Tbh, I think Exum has shown enough for the FO and coaching staff to have breathed sigh of relief and can hope he continues to build on some solid form moving forward. I think he can be a very useful bench piece moving forward, if it is deemed Mitchell should run the show from the pg position.

Exum is a potentially great option attacking in the latter part of quarters when teams reach the foul limits and he seems to be getting better at short sharp stints.

I just can't see Rubio as being a spark plug bench guy. I think he is still a starter somewhere.

There has to be a better signing option than Rubio to pair with Donovan next year. Please let there be.

There isn't, so have fun

Mitchell has enough to learn/develop/carry right now without adding PG duties to his plate. I bet he ends up developing into a good PG, but that he will always benefit from having someone else take on that burden (similar to Harden).

The clear solution is Mitchell at pg.

I'd be very surprised if the Jazz reup Rubio.

Really? Why do you think that?

Because he'd probably want a good multi-year contract, and we have Mitchell and Exum at that position. It makes little sense to resign Rubio. I bet they pick up the option on Favors, and roll with Mitchell + Exum. We don't have to assets to trade for a star, nor the market appeal for a top FA. So most likely we sign another MLE-level wing or something.

I agree with you. Especially on the keeping DM/Exum and not needing Rubio. And you are probably right in what you are predicting about Favors (keeping him because we don't get a better option).

Good post.

I wouldn’t be so sure about Rubio wanting a contract that the Jazz couldn’t afford, he loves it here.

What is fair? For both sides....

 

[fishonjazz]

Look at that. Tired!

What does that mean? What is the context?
Nevermind

I wouldn't mind Ricky on a really team friendly deal... but then I think they'd need to find a new home for Exum. We need some variance in the wing/guard spot and they share some similar flaws.

I'm straight 50/50 on whether I think Ricky is back next year... the next couple weeks while he is out may give us some pause or confidence depending on how the team does.
