Royce is way too disrespected on here constantly. Yes, he's not a lockdown defender. HE's still a great defender and one of the more versatile defenders in the NBA.
He isnt Gerald ****ing Green.

I'm talking about Eric Gordon 3 or 4 years ago when he played against us.

Bojan is ranked 158th......worse than Jingles. I'd say every stat has flaws. But I tend to agree that the idea of Cam right now is better than the player himself. he's also been buried in a bad situation and could not see any consistent floor time. the risk is clearly there. so is upsideI want to like the idea of Cam Reddish, but his 238 out of 250 Raptor rating isn't too sexy.

In his best days with Houston he was a +1 to a +2 RAPTOR on defense.
I dont watch BRooklyn so I have no idea what kind of scheme they play. Harden excelled in the switch heavy scheme because a lot of players/teams had false realities about his defensive ability.
He was still decidedly negative in most defensive metrics.
Cam Reddish is erratic offensively and he makes some low-IQ decisions. In that sense, he's like Clarkson. However, he's also got elite measurables, which really translate to the defensive end. So even when he's stinking offensively, he doesn't outright kill the defense. He has flashes where he looks like a middling version of Paul George, but he's just been frustratingly inconsistent.
Another guy I could see the Jazz asking about is Delon Wright. Wright could take some of Clarkson's and Forrest's minutes.
Yeah, because Bojan is clearly worse on D than Ingles.
Do you not watch Jazz basketball? I know Ingles has effort lowlights where his age shows, but he still makes way smarter defensive rotations and plays than Bojan does 75% of the time.
Ingles has remarkably good instincts and timing when he's able to apply them. It comes from having real ball skills.
I think the guy to go after is clearly Harrison Barnes, especially if the Jazz believe he has some ability to play on the ball.

yes but since Bogey is having a career year shooting the ball and is a clear better offensive player than Jingles, it's still surprising that his offense superiority is not enough to make him a better overall player.
I dont think you can use RAPTOR that literally.
Bojan is clearly better on offense than Ingles this year, and RAPTOR shows that.
Ingles is clearly better on defense than Bojan, and RAPTOR shows that.
The mix and who is "better" overall depends on a lot of other context and factors.
I mean, it wouldnt be terrible. My fear with Barnes is that he really is just average at everything and he would get lost in the sauce in Utah like he did with Golden State. Obviously that player could still help UTah, but at the price tag? Im not sure I'd go for it.
