AC is a good role player on a championship quality team... ain't trying to worship homeboy. He had a 3-4 minute run in the game yesterday that displayed so many things that we need and lack. The defense ain't nothing new... he's been good on that end for a while.

If yall don't appreciate it then its your loss.

He isnt a good role player at all. He's a fringe NBA player who can play on a team without depth and terrible players because they have the best player of all time (Lebron) and Anthony Davis.

What's the alternative? Signing Rubio again and developing Grayson Allen?

That is one of many, many alternatives. It also ignores the biggest cost of two firsts we could use in a trade for someone else. No matter how well you could do with drafting second rounders for DL that **** has real value on the trade market.

It's stupid? What has Caruso shown to make such a claim stupid? Yes, Rayjon Tucker, a rookie hasnt really had a chance to prove much yet. Tucker has shown that he is committed to making hustle plays and trying on defense.

Tucker also hasnt been in the NBA for the last handful of years getting backup minutes on a **** *** team who didnt really care too much about winning games until this year. It's a projection and it's not a ridiculous one to make. I'm not comparing Tucker to some seasoned vet who has his place in NBA rotations cemented.

*Not to mention Tucker came in half-way during the season and hasnt had a training camp under Utah development*

Caruso has at least given you functional minutes. Tucker has given you less than nothing,

Sure... all the deflections and steals he has gotten in college, the g league, the ****** lakers, and the good Lakers are because of Lebron and AD. Only reason he can play good defense is because of those guys. NWG is likely better.

I'm not even arguing with you over Crowder. He sucks. But Conley isn't the solution either. Dude's only played 47 games for us and 22 of which he shot below 40% including a 1-16 and a 0-7 performance and all you wanna argue is how Crowder's streaky shooting hurts the team.

Sure, Crowder is butthole sweat, Conley is just nut armpit sweat. Conley >>>>>>>>>>> Crowder and it isn't even close.

I said this. If you want to join Lopo on the Moron Train and misconstrue arguments and be daft, go for it.

Caruso is a trash can on offense and is overrated defensively. He works on the Lakers because they dont have anyone better and they have the GOAT and AD.

Tucker gave the Jazz minutes this season without a training camp. He has shown some promise as a defender and an aggressive slasher. Caruso is now in his 4th year being around the NBA, he's obviously a bit ahead on experience and was fortunate to get picked up by a bad team who could give him more development minutes in the NBA.

Like I said, Rayjon Tucker will likely be a better NBA player than Caruso and I stand by that.

And I can't really argue with that. BUTTTT. Rajon has been a nobody and is still a nobody. AC at least has shown the possibility to do a few things. I'd put AC at a 2.5 and Rajon at a 1 out of 10. They both suck but maybe AC doesn't **** up as much.

Got no problem with you disagreeing, but I just think it's ridiculous to act like what I'm saying is some kind of hot take or has no basis. These are two undrafted players who came up through the G-League. Tucker is way ahead of Caruso at this point in his basketball playing career and I expect him to stick with Utah and maybe even start getting real minutes next season.

When are you going to cash this check? Because they both suck but maybe AC sucks a little bit less.

yeah guarding one of the best offensively players on opponents team will probably result in worse ISO defense numbers than getting assigned one of the worst offensive players on opponent's team. What an amazing discovery

Niang faces more isolation than Crowder and forcing ISO on bad defenders is quite easy and is the whole point of it. I would say Niang is hunted more than Jae. Regardless, Crowder is not a game-changing defensive player.

We could have done so much better than Mike Conley with

2 1st round picks
Crowder
Korver
Grayson
$15 million in cap (Conley - Crowder/Grayson/Korver/#23)

That's the point moron

So apparently Caruso’s dad is Igor Presnyakov.
