Lookout. Many minutes did Bogie get in the second half tonight? It can't have been more than 10.

Exactly. I don't see a reason to trade anybody in the primary rotation.Whoever wants to trade Bogey is a classic Minivan idiot. The Jazz have the best record in team history, are winning almost every game by double digits, and you want to trade someone? The chemistry is great and Bogey hasn't been as bad as you're picturing him.
Ya rightBogie plus a pick could get you Zach Lavine.
Dude just take it, you won't get a better offer.
This. They need to stop the post-ups they have been running for him, at least until his confidence comes back. I get that the matchup might dictate it is the correct basketball play, but when the player is struggling in that situation you need to get him in situations that help him see success. Then when he is more back to his old self he can go back to the post-up game when the matchup warrants it. But right now he is just a turnover machine in those situations.I think we need to get him going, but I think the way we're doing it isn't good. We try to get him post ups and other non-threes to have him "see the ball go through the basket," but he shoots a lower percentage on those shots than he does threes. If we want to get him going, we need to set a few screens for him and have him catch-and-shoot a lot of threes. The way we're approaching it is complicating it because when we "try to get him going" by putting him in situations where he turns the ball over, that's definitely going to do the opposite of getting him going psychologically.
That would look nice... not as nice as your mom looks in that skimpy bikini I bought her but still very nice.Can you just imagine what Jerami Grant would look like on this team instead of Bojan.
I don't think the post ups are as big of an issue as the drives right now. They end in a lot of missed layups or turnovers that lead to fast breaks on the other end. He also needs to start making some damn shots. Last night he forced a ton... for instance when we have some momentum and he pulls up from 8 feet behind the line early in the clock... you are struggling... no need to just YOLO a 30 footer at that point.This.

I put the post-ups in the same category as the drives, but worse because it is a purposeful clear-out by everyone else to let him work. The drives are more spontaneous and he just needs to stop those, but the post-ups are a set play to exploit the match-up, which is why I called it out. Plus he posted up like 3 times last night and all 3 ended in turnovers. 100%. That is some terrible ish there. But yes, he needs to stop this **** and just focus on fixing his shot. Setting up for that side-step 3 in the corner is enough for now to stretch the D and open up the middle. That is all that is required. We have enough dudes to run it into the teeth of the D that don't just drop the ball off to the defender.I don't think the post ups are as big of an issue as the drives right now.
