At least for the time being. In Friday night’s game, the Jazz were good enough — not great, but good — when they had their starters out there. But when they had to go to the bench, and especially when Rudy Gobert had to sit, everything fell apart: the Jazz were a -11 in the 11:30 Gobert didn’t play.
While Ed Davis is out with that fractured fibula, Tony Bradley has been asked to step in at the center position for the Jazz, replacing Gobert down low. And since moving into the rotation, he’s had a positive plus-minus once: the Jazz’s win against the Nets.
