In order to really understand what adding Mike Conley, Bojan Bogdanovic, Ed Davis, Jeff Green, and more to come to this Jazz team, perhaps it is best to compare this Jazz team to ones through NBA history. Which ones are most similar?
We’re looking for a team that surrounds itself with a stalwart defensive center, one of the very best shot alterers in the league, if not the best — as Rudy Gobert has been, winning two Defensive Player of the Year awards. We’re looking for a team with formidable shooting in the other frontcourt spots: Joe Ingles, a 40% career 3-point shooter who also has playmaking skills, and Bojan Bogdanovic, a 39% career 3-point shooter who also can score from mid-range and inside.
