That said this year the only top teams in the East of right now I'd have to guess to be Milwaukee and Philly. West is a mosh pit, literally anyone 1-10 could win it IMO.

Conley's coming off of a career year, Mitchell averaged 27/5/5 the 2nd half of the season, and Rudy cemented his place in history as one of the only multi-time DPOY. We'll be okay.

I don't know why you think I'm hating on the Jazz just because you overrate the hell out of them. Mike Conley was an awesome pickup and Gobert is a super elite interior defender and easily a top 20 player in the NBA. They'll be a great team next year. It's Donovan Mitchell no one agrees with you on. Edited July 9, 2019 by Bullet Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said they do need to add someone like Korver in order to be a top tier team. Or god forbid Ben Simmons actually adds a jump shot. Spacing is about more than shooting though. Harris shot the ball like crap in Philadelphia last year, Horford is a career 36% 3 point shooter on a low volume of attempts, Richardson is a decent shooter but clearly a major downgrade from Redick. So by NBA standards you have a bunch of below average 3 point shooters and you're essentially starting 2 PFs and 2 Cs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he finally got healthy he put up superstar-level numbers. 27/5/5 on very strong efficiency. It's really not that hard to grasp buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's unconventional, however you're ignoring despite the size what each of the players is capable. Yes, I whole heartedly admit they still need a sniper. Korver would be perfect for the Sixers if decides to come back here. Reddick was a HUGE liability defensively and his shooting really fell off towards the end of the last season. Philadelphia should be tremendous defensively next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
