Who are the Glue Guys for this team?

I think there are different types of the "glue guy"

charismatically, the guy is ingles. (team chemistry glue guy)

Attitude-wise, it is the "take-no-****" outlook of booker and gobert. (winner's mentality glue guy)

Our team is kind of a glue guy team... all of our big 3 play well with others.

As far as lesser glue guys I think Ingles is a great glue guy. Since the AS break he has shot 45% from the field and 42% from 3. He is a good passer and smart, but limited, defender. He's not on the shane battier glue guy all-stars, but I think we need to bring him back. I think he'll be cheap too.

Hood does a lot of things that mesh well too. Been really happy with his defense... its not been great but was worried after what I witnessed in summer league. He just needs to be healthy for a 10 game stretch so he can get some rhythm and consistency.

Well have to bring back jingles because he gives the best interviews and I want to hear what he says after we win the championship. Probably name himself MVP. I'm with fish on this, I love that guy.

Kanter is the new glue guy in OKC! Our glue guys are probably Tomic, Neto, and 2016 first round pick!

Don't know about OKC but Kanter is the new glue guy for the Jazz. Everyone is together and playing better because of their hatred for him (at least in games against the Thunder).

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I present to you the OKC (Oklahoma Kanter_do_no_wrong City) fan forum glue guys!
 
I definitely think it's Ingles. He pulls guys aside and talks to them while on the court. Seems to get along with everyone and is unselfish on the court. He's more vocal than Hayward while on the court. While bringing some of the same skills...just to a lesser degree.
.
I could also make a case for Gobert. He talks a lot to the other guys on the team and his play on defense helps bring the team together on that end.
.
Booker is also a guy I consider a glue guy.
.
For me it seems to be those three in that order.
 
Besides the obvious Jingles and Booker, I'd say that Gobert is kind of our long term glue guy/leader. He doesn't have a problem communicating and demanding more from his team. He is also doing this as a second year kid who doesn't really have the highest basketball IQ. Just wait for next year and every year after, when he has the experience and higher B-ball IQ.

What makes you think he doesn't have a high basketball IQ. You don't improve like he has with a low basketball IQ.

I didn't say he doesn't have any basketball IQ, I'm simply saying that it's nowhere near where it's going to be. He is young, still makes certain mistakes, still raw. His IQ will continue to improve with more experience. Not a knock on Gobert by any means, he is my favorite Jazz man.
