He's much more along the lines of a Scottie Pippen. Dude shot 52% from the field last year and is probably the league's best small forward defensively.

I think we define superstar differently.

I should add that with his injury issues this year he hasn't been as good.

I'm big on Defense too, but I value 2 way players the most.

I don't mean next year. And maybe you mean never. I think he could lead the Jazz

The spurs last year IMO didn't have anyone near the level of KD or LBJ

He is a part of what can do that, but the Jazz need way more than just him.
