Jazz and every other team may need to draft players who can guard Zion Williamson for the next ten years

Eh, I think Zion will be unique, but he isn't gonna dominate like LeBron or anything like that. He can handle it, but he doesn't have guard handles. He can post some, but it's not like he is Embiid.

He will be a highlight reel on the fast break, but I just dont see him dominating the NBA.

Now we just need to hope and pray that Brooklyn can land 2 big time free agents so they don't bring back Dangelo Russell. He's restricted so I have to imagine they'll match anything.

It still kills me they got Dinwiddie to sign an extension during the season for only $11 million/year. If the Jazz struck out on other options I"m sure they easily would've paid him $16 million/year at least and still could've brought back Favors if they wanted. I think Dinwiddie would've been a great pick up.

They can only sign one big free agent as of right now and they have to renounce dlo to do it... he has a big caphold.

Sup dudes.

You have to take this seriously, right?

David Locke tears apart the Dlo Russell idea in his podcast with Tony Jones. He's incredibly inefficient. He's in the 13th percentile at finishing at the rim and never gets to the free throw line. He had a 98% usage rate last year. He thinks he wouldn't help the Jazz.

I mean a bunch of us said that... he could be become more efficient but the thought that we are getting a young all star if we got him is kinda silly... he was an all star by default. I think he is a better fit than Rubio but the thought that he magically becomes more efficient or athletic or that he opens up a lot of stuff for DM is a stretch. He’s young and has promise but I’d be frightened to give him $100M it will take to get him here.

I'd rather have Kemba or Tobias, but D-Lo is a pretty good consolation prize if both of those options fall through. He could end up being the best long-term fit with the Jazz and Mitchell out of the guys we're talking about.
 
@Handlogtens Heroes
Is there a way to tell if a player is good at defense by looking at a particular stat or set of stats?

I thought defensive win shares would be a good indicator but I looked at that stats for a few guys who have a rep as bad defenders (harden, kanter, love, lavine) and all of them have positive defensive win share numbers. Does anyone in the league have negative defensive win share numbers? I mean if those guys have positive numbers then everyone would I would think.

Is there just no way to measure good defense statistically?

Is there any chance that D-lo never gets to the line, and has other bad stats due to the way the nets coach wants him to play?

In other words, if he played for the jazz is there a chance that his percentage at the rim, free throw attempts, and usage all improve due to system, coaching, teammates? Or is he simply what he is? Did he have the same flaws in college? On the Lakers?
