I mean those all contributed, but he was the only guy with significant minutes who scored 0 points. He was a black hole.

It’s ok to admit that

he has games like this way, way too often for him to not be considered an offensive liability...

he is a great defender, no one can take that away from him... but realistically, when he's in the game, from an offensive standpoint, we are playing 4 on 5 a lot of nights... and that's the problem... if he could give a guaranteed 10-12 EVERY night, which is all we would really need, i'd have a different opinion... hell, i'd take him giving us a guaranteed 8-10, at this point... but the problem is he will give you games where he's only good for 2... 4... 5 points and that's it... you can't truly count on him to help offensively and if he's not collecting every board, or getting steals at a good clip, then he's really a net negative for the team...

and that's where he's at... we really need a better option at the 2, someone that can get us consistent offensive production while giving us even just some sort of defensive presence... doesn't have to be Herb Jones elite level, but just be able to defend at least an average level... Jones needs to be the 1st or 2nd guy off the bench, but that's really what he is in this league, but b/c we are so devoid of talent, he's pressed into the starting lineup and he's just not a good enough consistent starter

If Herb could shoot the ball I wouldn’t complain. He’s been more bad than good from 3 his whole career. Bad fit with Zion
