Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert puts the pressure on Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart in NBA action between the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons at Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, Friday, Jan. 21, 2022.The Jazz won this game with some half-way decent perimeter defense! Good for them.
Quin Snyder said Bojan Bogdanovic was disappointed in his defense in the Jazz’s loss to Houston, and thought he played a lot better against the Pistons. I agree, he does a very good job of staying in front of Kelly Olynyk here:Look, the Pistons are the worst offense in the league, so this is the easy level of the defensive video game. Success against the Pistons isn’t necessarily going to translate. But it’s better than, say, not playing defense against the Pistons — something we saw last week.
I thought a big key to that was Trent Forrest, who, to me, was the standout defender of the game. Forrest did easily the best job on Cunningham, turning early offensive efficiency into some missed shots late. I don’t know that Forrest is an incredible long-term prospect; the shooting is so far away that he’s not even trying anymore. But he is good at the other parts of the game, and the above videos show how he’s adding something the Jazz don’t have otherwise.
