So...is there any competition for worst backcourt in the NBA?
The table only shows players playing at least 10 minutes per game and is rank ordered by PER. The bottom line is the Jazz are currently sporting players who all have below-average PER, WS/48, VORP, and negative BPM socres.
And would it be worthwhile to add a savvy veteran to the roster (e.g., Andre Miller) to provide some replacement level talent for our frontcourt to work with? In other words, is the play of our backcourt detrimental to the development of our above-average frontcourt?
