Re: How the Jazz ran the zone
The Jazz were fast on their rotations, with Bell and Deron roaming the perimeter the Jazz are above average defensively closing out on players. With CJ and Paul on the baselines you have enough length to force people into Fesenko who has the size to clog up the middle.
This is where Fes losing all that weight helps, he can move from side to side much quicker and help the baseline defenders.
