I think people greatly underestimate how many mediocre players start for "contending teams", much less players of THJ's caliber. Like am I supposed to believe Royce O'Neale is significantly better than THJ just because he's starting and playing 30+ minutes on the #1 seed in the West? He's not. He's just a role guy who fits in well with what the Jazz need from the position and their current roster construction. Generally most contenders have 2 stars, 1 high level starter, 1 middle of the road starter and 1 coattail rider role player in their starting 5.
This is one of the smartest reality-based posts I have seen on this site.
