Point guard options the jazz should look into

Posted by: Eric Ostler on May 20th, 2012

The author's views are entirely his or her own and may not reflect the views of the Utah Jazz.

Goran Dragic

in the final 26 games of the season that he started in he averaged:

18 points, 8.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.8 3s. His percentages were .490 from the floor and .839 from the line

Steve Nash/ Young Point guard – Scott Machado – Kendal Marshall

We all know what steve nash can do and if you add in a Young PG to Train the future is set in the PG category

  1. Dragic would be ur best option. I think u could get him in utah easier then nash, nash maybe willing to move but not to a non contending team. And, if you dont get the golden state pick you would have to make a trade up to get marshal. Even with that pick marshal might not be on the boards, i know hes projected to go around that area but you never know. With dragic he is younger and proven marshal isnt proven at all and nash is way to old to be productive for much longer. I would take goron any day over nash and marshal. For simple fact you know what your getting

  2. @Trevor I would say you are somewhat right but at the same time it was harder to view tape and practice shutting guys down this year it could be a different story next year with more practice time and such

  3. Even with a full season he has shown what he can do when he gets time. When he was with the suns he went off for 20 plus points many times. He can leanr mulitple system being on diffrent teams hands down best bet. You never know what nash will be able to do in a slow it down run your offence kind of system

  4. Guido says:

    Perfect scenario would be: Steve Nash, Kendall Marshall. we need a damn leader my friend.

  5. Nash has one year tops playing at his intensity he is at now and he might not even fit well in a jazz system. We dont know that we have a set offence we run slow it down and all that stuff he isnt use to i dont know how he will play with are system. And we dont know whats goin to happen with kendal he just got hurt in marchmadness. So is he goin to be injury prone? Will he even be a leader and a pro that you are expecting? Keep harris or go for dragic there is other areas where you can improve. Like a deeper bench. A good shooting guard stuff like that the way harris is playin i dont know if you want to make a change

  6. Eric Ostler says:

    trevor you are right about the way harris is playing but if hes not going to be consistent then bring him in as a back up PG and get Dragic as your starter..i think Dragic would fit really well with the jazz and he learned from nash so it works

  7. I agree with Guido. we need competitors and leaders. I would be ok even keeping harris and trying to get Maynard back from the thunder if his injury is recovering ok. As long as we increase perimeter leadership with someone like Igudalla.
