I think I've definitely improved the Jazz
Williams
Granger
Battier
Boozer
Hibbert
And Sheed as the backup 4/5.
I'd go to battle with that line-up against anyone. Get a couple more decent bench players and we're really rocking.
I think you'd be better with Odom or Turk. Granger doesn't really fit with the rest of your team, especially at the 2.
I think Granger is a great fit alongside Deron Williams. You want an out-and-out scorer because Deron Williams will have the ball in his hands so much of the time. A guy like Hedo Turkoglu who's only high end talent is his passing ability is a poor fit for Williams. Takes the ball out of his hands too much and Turk becomes an expensive Jason Kapono like player (spot up shooter) when he doesn't have enough touches to take advantages of his passing ability.
I also like the Granger and Battier combination on the wings. Battier will be taking all the tough defensive assignments regardless of two guards or small forwards so positions aren't important here. I think Battier defends the two better than the three anyway. A non-issue for me.
So, I love the perimeter trio of Deron Williams, Danny Granger and Shane Battier. That will be one of the best perimeter groupings in the league.
I don't like Boozer and Hibbert combination though. Very slow + poor defensively. A repeat of Utah's current defensive problems on the interior. And then Rasheed as the sixth man, another slow footed defender albeit significantly superior than either Booz or Hibbert.
I think Hibbert needs to go for a big man with more defensive chops. Then you have a Championship contender on your hands. Without that defensive upgrade I'd view the team as an outside contender. Capable but not a frontrunner. Needs a fair bit of luck to go it's way. Sort of like Denver or Utah itself in real life.
