With Derrick Favors and Jae Crowder gone, who will the Jazz play at the four? Actually, who won’t they play there?

The term “power forward” still holds a certain sentimental sway with Jazz fans, owing to its historical association with a certain No. 32.

These days, the guy who mans that spot is more generally simply referred to as a “four,” owing to the fact that there is increasingly a devaluation of the “power” component of that forward position.

Furthermore, in this era of “positionless basketball,” does it even really matter who’s labeled what? Beyond a reasonable certainty that Rudy Gobert, Ed Davis, and Tony Bradley will not be asked to bring the ball up the court, won’t pretty much everyone be doing a bit of everything, after all?
