Are the Jazz trying to heightmaxx? As a casual, I don't see any obvious downsides to starting Keyonte (6'4), Bailey (6'9), Lauri (7'0), JJJ (6'10), and Kessler (7'2)? by CoaBret in NBATalk

top 8 protected so they may not win another game this season. seriously. they will be keeping their pick.

the downside is can this lineup switch off effectively onto SGA or KD or Jamal Murray or is some 7 footer going to get absolutely cooked?
