Guy is 2.03 meters tall, weighs 104 kilograms, has a perfect small forward figure, excellent physical fitness, height and arm length, amazing bounce, smooth technical movements, playing is very ornamental; on the defensive end, his speed and flexibility can prevent most of the opposing players, but sometimes he is lazy on the court, does not like physical contact, does not like to impact the basket, wasted physical talent, which also leads to his inability to become a qualified team leader.
This offseason Jazz has sent away Gobert and Mitchell two team cores, and recently Conley, Clarkson and Bogdanovic have also been traded, so where should the 36-year-old Guy go, last season in a limited 18.1 minutes can also contribute 8.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists, proving that there is still a game of strength, next season is to stay with the Jazz, or join a team with the hope of winning the championship?
