It sounds like Jaden might be out for several weeks. It feels like this might be a bigger loss than most fans think. We looked way worse in our first couple games without him. Was that just because we had to figure some things out early in the season or because we didn’t have Jaden spearheading our defense? I guess we’re about to find out.
I feel the same as you. NAW and SloMo can do something similar (Their defense is not as high as JMac is).
Being a worse player than Jaden, a Mike Conley issue would be a harder one to solve.
