Q: Could Raul Neto have helped the Jazz this season had he been able to join the team?
Lindsey: Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And you know, it’s something that we’ve talked about. But I think with where we’re at, with Trey and the rest, that, we’re, you know, it would’ve been hard to put, you know, Ty in the position to try to develop and play two point guards simultaneous. It would’ve been, it would’ve put, you know, him and the team in a couple of rough spots.
Sounds to me like they were a bit afraid of a point guard controversy. On one hand I would rather let them fight it out, may the best man win. On the other, Raul has the benefit of having been a pro. NCAA is great, but its not a pro league. Pros are older and stronger (like it or not).
Bring him over next year and then Trey and Raul should be on equal footing. Then, let them fight it out.
