One of the best assets the Utah Jazz had all season long was their flexibility and versatility as they navigated injuries to most of their roster. The number of games lost by starters was well documented and often commented on how well Quin Snyder was playing with a revolving door of players in a varying degree of health.
Yes, Snyder should get the credit for preparing the players to fill in as well as they had. Joe Ingles was told he was an emergency player and shouldn’t anticipate many minutes. Flash forward to him starting in the playoffs and guarding everyone from Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry.
