Back in late September, at the Jazz’s annual media day event, coach Quin Snyder noted that the team’s ability to progress would, in part, be tied to its ability to hit from deep.
“Can we shoot from the 3-point line better? Can we shoot more?” he asked rhetorically.
And in late April, a day after the Jazz were eliminated from the postseason by the Rockets four games to one, Dennis Lindsey, the now-President of Basketball Operations Dennis Lindsey, acknowledged that getting better from beyond the arc remains a work in progress.
“Adding a sniper at any position is something that we’re going to have to strongly evaluate,” Lindsey said.
