Six snipers the Utah Jazz could pursue in 2019 free agency
Danny Green
Danny Green is a player that has been brought up before in past free agency talks relating to the Utah Jazz and it’s not hard to see why. Green has long been a knock-down 3-point shooter with an impressive playoff resume.
Not to mention, he was absolutely sensational in Toronto this past season as he converted on a career-high 45.5 percent from deep on 5.4 attempts from deep in 80 games played. That’s consistency over the course of a season to be sure.
Unfortunately, Green has had some consistency issues throughout his career as a whole. He’s had seasons where he’s dipped to the low 30s from the perimeter, but also several where he’s been well above 40. He is at 40.4 percent for his career, though, which is a reassuring sign.
Aside from being a legitimate sniper from the perimeter, Danny is also a plus defender who would bolster Utah on the side of the court that has become their calling card. Even when shots potentially weren’t falling, he could be relied on to be a force defensively.
He’s also another unrestricted free agent and depending on what Kawhi Leonard decides to do this summer, Green and others could very well be looking to depart from Toronto. If such ends up the case, the Jazz would do well to pursue his services and could have a realistic shot of landing him to bolster their role player corp.
The Jazz will have much more to consider this summer than just adding players with high 3-point percentages. But a sure-fire sniper is a helpful player to have around no matter how you look at it. As they aim to better that aspect of their overall play, each of these six players will be worthy considerations in what appears primed to be a pivotal offseason for the Utah Jazz.
