"Small ball" starting lineup?

Favors and Gobert have a similar profile : lack of mobility and 3pts shooting then lack of spacing and turnovers' accumulation(worst team in the league)

The last year, the combo Johnson-Gobert was Jazz' best big men lineup because JJ can shoot 3PTS and creates space for Rudy.
When Favors is behind the arc, the opposite PF often remains in the paint.

Perhaps, Snyder should try a starting lineup : Rubio-Mitchell-Sefolosha-Ingles-Gobert.

Favors had some good post moves last night. Maybe they should run offense through him in low post and let Rudy roll hard from the weak side.

We keep trying to force offense through Rudy and he can’t catch the bounce passes.
 
If we somehow could get Ryan Anderson from Rockets he would be an ideal partner for Rudy. Or Paul Millsap....
To be fair to Favors he is working on stretching the floor and his 3 pt game but can it realistically work?

His contract is awful... they'd likely give us something to take him.

We need a four that can shoot and playmake. Wilson Chandler type.
 
I wouldn't mind seeing a Rubio/Mitchell/Thabo/Ingles/Gobert at some point, not sure it should be our starting lineup, but I do like the feel of it and would like to see it tried out some at least.

20 mil a year for good stretch 4 is a fair price in todays NBA. Chandler is so overrated, I don't think it would work for us.

If it was a one year deal then sure but it has two more years after this one which is why they couldn't give the guy away this off season.

He may live up to that contract for a year... maybe but it will be ugly if he loses a half step.
