Thought Mike Conley was Utah’s missing piece?
Conley did, too.
Thought Conley would transition seamlessly into Utah’s system?
Conley: Ditto.
One of the more puzzling early season storylines was Conley’s struggles with the Jazz. To recap: Last summer, Utah acquired Conley, a 31-year old point guard coming off a career-high scoring season. Conley, most figured, would boost a middle of the pack offensive team that needed some perimeter punch. His three-point shooting would create more space for Donovan Mitchell. His playmaking would upgrade the Jazz at arguably the NBA’s most important position.
It didn’t happen.
