Brad Rock: Forget managing minutes, Jazz need their stars full-time

SALT LAKE CITY — Quin Snyder says looking on the bright side, his team’s injuries have expanded its versatility. But he’s not denying the luxury of having healthy stars.

“I think Rudy (Gobert) has been really terrific — we’ve ridden him a little bit — and then Donovan (Mitchell), as well, with his playmaking, and those two guys have got to be good for us to be good,” he said this week. “And they have been.”

In the Jazz’s pivotal win over Denver on Wednesday, Mitchell logged 38 minutes, Gobert 37. Friday against Minnesota they played 38 and 36, respectively.
