The Jazz have no player that compares to Steph Curry, but let's say that the Jazz's equivalent is Hayward, in that he tends to carry the offense. Thus, in this scenario, Curry remains with the team.

Gobert is the Jazz not Hayward sorry.

Utah hasn't had a lot of the long ball in their careers. Part of that was strategy. Part of that was convention. But the most reasonable reason is personnel.

Main reason was Sloan.

Using LeBron as a guide this just solidifies my idea that it's not Gordon's job to be the primary ball handler, primary scorer, and ALSO the top three point shooter all in the same game.

It's not his job because he is a streaky shooter not a great shooter.

On the Jazz roster right now I see another All-Around Wing player in Rodney Hood, I see a scoring specialist in Alec Burks (not a shooting specialist)

Burks has been more of an all-around player than Hood. Hood is a scorer almost exclusively.

, and I see a number of "Three and D" aspirants in Chris Johnson and J.J. O'Brien.

Wouldn't O'Brien have to be able to shoot first?

The other guy who is a wing player, but wasn't yet mentioned, is Joe Ingles. But I don't know how to classify him. We see him knocking down a lot of threes, important ones, but he's more than just a three point shooter. He's also somehow more than just an All-Around wing player also. He defies classification

He's one of their main ball handlers and a spot up shooter mostly.

Utah will likely be without Derrick Favors once again, due to back spasms

But he was working on his post moves with assistant Tony Lang, and has been in better spirits this week, especially since he traveled with the team.

I think it was just the one short road trip he didn't go on.

The team has never said that.
