I don't think we'd play Olynyk at center unless someone was hurt. I'd imagine something like:
Gobert 34/Favors 14
Olynyk 26/Bogdanovic 22
Bogdanovic 8/Ingles 16/O'neale 24
Mitchell 16/Clarkson 24/Ingles 8
Conley 30/Mitchell 18
I actually think the jazz need the option of a small ball stretch 5 just to have options. A guy who is a forward that can play up.
That and maybe this is unpopular but schroder and chris paul played well together. I could see him and DM on the floor together with a more than capable 6th man ready off the bench.
Schroder was a lockerroom problem in Atlanta and seems to have worn out his welcome in LA, too. Stylistically it could probably work, I just don't think he's a good addition to a team that has had a bit of tension in the last two seasons. Totally agree with you re: the need for a 4/5.
I know. But schroder has something i dont think the jazz can get anywhere else.
The clips got down 0-2 then came out and pressured and defended well way out. The plan was we cant stop DM but one man aint enough.
You throw schroder an dm out there together and they cant defend like that without getting broken down.
My view for the jazz is that they need to apply a little pressure to slow teams down just a little from getting into their offense. Not over play. Just some pressure to just push the opponent off. Then you close out hard on the snipers and give a good contest for average shooters.
Make average shooters shoot over us. Run snipers off the 3pt line and with gobert in the middle make them mid range scorers.
But it would take defensive schemes to keep gobert home. And if you know your personel and control the boards you win the series. Let average shooters beat you outside and run the snipers off.
If they've had to work to bring the ball up they'll have a little less time to break the D down. And of course the other component is shot selection. The better the jazz selection is the less long rebounds.
And as always it comes down to effort. When that shot goes up you've got to secure the rebound.
