I doubt Jones makes 1st or 2nd team this year and specialists come off the bench all the time. Tony Allen, Patrick Beverly, Thybulle, Roberson, Marcus Smart, Avery Bradley.. all occasional starters that have made the All NBA team fairly recently. Given our injury record, he'd still probably start over half the games filling in.

I'm just looking to improve the team. Who else are you sitting? Or do you believe that the team is maxed out and ready to contend as is?

This team needs a player like KCP as a sixth man coming off the bench, not a undersized 2 guard like Mitchell. CJ just got out of being in a small back court with a ball dominate guard and has thrived so why would we put him back in the same position. If you had noticed the Jazz have had a crazy number of 4th quarter collapse and Mitchell has played a major part in it.

not everyone needs to be a 20+ a night scorer. You need glue guys in the starting lineup. Herb is that and will hopefully continue to develop his shot and get stronger.

Mitchell is a great player, but is he a great fit

Also of the two between Donovan and SGA, I’d pick SGA probably
