Zach Lowe and Kevin Pelton also agree that the Jazz should start Georges Niang in place of Bojan when league action returns (per Lowe Post Podcast)

David Locke suggests that when the Jazz resume, they could consider starting Niang (instead of O’Neale) alongside Gobert, with Rudy covering Georges’ defensive deficiencies (much like he did for Bojan). I...actually think that could work really, really well.



I don't know about this. It should also be noted that Kevin Pelton had the Jazz finishing 4th in the West in his predictions behind Lakers, Clippers and Rockets. He published his prediction on Dec. 2nd, so I'm going to assume that it was BEFORE the Westbrook trade. I don't know if he's updated since then.
 
No.

Do we want our defense to suck?

General team atmosphere and the ridiculousness of the task we asked of Rudy caused him serious issues last season, this would certainly not make that better.
 
Covid might make Niang at starter at some point. We all like to trash Georges for being fat, slow and a liability on D, but the guy isnt a complete scrub. Things could be worse.

This is the first rational thing you’ve ever said.

Rub is growing up right before our eyes.
 
Start him 100% if you don't have Bojan and if you have Gobert and Favors in the starting lineup. He's the best spacer the Jazz have. Plus we can have JazzFazz stop being mean about him. Geez.
 
This is the dumbest idea ever proposed by any media pundit in the history of the world. Possibly in the history of any world, including any and all alternate dimensions and imaginary/fictional worlds. We are all now dumber for having read it.
 
As much as I want to give Georges the benefit of the doubt for his occasionally sweet 3-pt stroke and his hilarious messages to fans on Cameo, he’s kind of a stiff and a liability on defense. He belongs at the end of the bench; getting minutes only if there’s no one better. So should he start? Hell no!
 
Well something has to change. It's an undeniable dilemma. The need for constant overstimulation has numbed JazzFanz. Nothing seems to satisfy. Locke is just testing the waters with a finger. It's not a shoulder.

Relax.
