Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 120-108 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer AndybLarsen.
Now, Mike Conley’s at No. 3, so you also get an idea of how useful it is to have Rudy Gobert rolling and terrific shooting around you — it’s much easier to score without significant help! But I love how both players have read those situations this year, and it can result in dominant offense, like we saw tonight.Without Conley or Joe Ingles available, it was Trent Forrest who got the start for the Jazz. He finished as a team-low -15 in those 20 minutes on the court.
Overall, I expect Forrest to continue to be the emergency sub, but could also see the situation changing at the deadline if the Jazz acquire another guard. The NBA removed its 50-game limit for 2-way players, so Forrest can play as much as the Jazz want him to.The Jazz have yet to play either of the Western Conference top two teams this season. That changes tomorrow, when the Jazz play the Warriors.
Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole have both been excellent for the Warriors, Poole especially profiles as the kind of scoring guard that the Jazz can struggle to defend. You figure O’Neale would guard Wiggins — which means Mitchell on Poole? How will he take that matchup?
