Utah Jazz: Willie Reed could be a bang-for-your-buck backup big

Let’s face facts, Utah Jazz fans. As much as we all love Derrick Favors, there’s a better than average chance that the team explores bringing in a floor-spacer and playmaker to replace him in the starting five this offseason.

I know…major sadface.

In a perfect world, it wouldn’t be such a huge deal because, as a backup center, Favors is as good as they come. Really, that’s been his most important function on the team over the least three years. Alas, this isn’t a perfect world and paying $17-plus million for a backup center is bad hat, Harry.
