After Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert called out the team's defense and praised Phoenix guard Devin Booker for his improvement on that end of the floor, Jazz shooting guards Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson responded to the comments.
In those five games, the Jazz allowed 118.6 points per game, and had the league’s lowest-rated defense.
He then expressed further frustration, suggesting that reporters see it as their job to intentionally try and create drama —”It’s annoying, but that’s how this business is. That’s the media for you.” — but added that everyone in the Jazz’s locker room was remaining focused on finding ways to get better.
That said, he did agree with Gobert’s sentiment that, no matter who is available, there needs to be an awareness that the Jazz still have areas they can improve in. And he thinks that is the case.
