Darren Peterson should be the No. 1 option on this team even when everyone else is healthy.
Every other player on the team should defer to him and play off of him. There's also an argument that he should be the point guard.
What's interesting about this is that when we tried to flip the switch to losing 4 years ago we started out with one of the best records in the NBA and it took us years to learn how to lose properly...
One of my theories of why weโre struggling is weโve played looser and free the last few years with zero pressure then it comes time to win itโs hard to just flip the switch on to winning basketball.
Sabonis is EXACTLY what this Utah Jazz roster needs.
Heโs tough, strong, and plays extremely hard. He rebounds. He sets nasty screens. He playmakes. He doesnโt back down. Would bring a fresh perspective to the locker room to reset the culture.
He can play next to Lauri, and/Or JJJ. He would make life easier for Keyonte, Ace, and Darryn.
He can play Point forward, or roll man in the Pick N Roll.
He does have some deficiencies but this Jazz roster would cover most if not all of those
