Can someone enlighten me as to what SVG is doing with our backup center minutes?
At some point 'Gomez started getting minutes and seemed like a straight upgrade to Jax, development minutes for Jax aside. Better footwork, positioning, some actual post moves.
Then recently 'Gomez had his minutes cut back again and Jax seems like he had a fire lit under his @$$ and is giving us more productive minutes than he has in the past.
Productivity per 36 min seems similar between the two: 'Gomez has more rebounds and less turnovers, Jax is more efficient and averages more blocks.
Is SVG just experimenting? Did 'Gomez get injured? Jax providing a bit more rim protection?
