I heard Fesenko is available.
Withey's proven? At what, sucking?
Burke, Neto and Cotton are good depth. All are (or should be, in Neto's case) very good backup PG's. So the depth is there, we just don't have that #1 guy.
I'm curious to what a good backup player is to you? I'm thinking a solid back up player to you is a guy on the team that shows up and puts a jersey on before the game. You say the Jazz have a good back up with depth even though we're rated to be 29th in the league for the 2nd year in a row. I think (and I think most fans can follow me) that a good back up player is one that contributes numbers similar to that of a player at the starting position or role above him. Even if it's for a short time period. Look at the Clippers for example. Pierce, J Smith, both great role players. Compare that or anything to two guys like Neto and Cotton,the jazz don't have good back up role players. I'm not being unfair with saying that, you just need to watch basketball outside of the Jazz.
Those are 6th men. And I'm not saying we have those guys. Booker is a good backup, but his numbers are not anywhere near Favors'. Ingles is a decent backup, but he can't come close to Hayward.I'm curious to what a good backup player is to you?

I would counter argue that there is zero depth because there is no #1 guy.I think Burke has shown that he is a decent back up, Cotton is a great third stringer. So I don't think Stifle is that far off the mark tbh.
Gobert is the clear starter. Not even debatable. Pleiss will be on the team due to his contract, so his spot is secure.
I think Cooley and Withey will directly compete for that final spot. 3 spots and 4 men. 2 spots and 2 men are secure.
Pleiss is a rookie the Jazz intentionally brought over. Withey is a proven NBA player, a potential defensive presence. Cooley is neither. He's the odd man out.
