For the head coach, the seventh overall pick of the 2015 NBA Draft has a special type of strength. And he can channel this to be a great defensive player.</p><blockquote>“His strength is unique — his strength is a strength. I think he’s learning how to use that defensively,” he said, per <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/sports/2019/10/03/emmanuel-mudiay-is-poised/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune</a>. “Getting down, using his body, being aggressive, being disciplined. His size, as well.”</blockquote><p>Over the past three seasons, the Jazz have placed within the top 10 in terms of <a href="https://stats.nba.com/teams/defense/?sort=W&amp;dir=-1&amp;Season=2015-16&amp;SeasonType=Regular%20Season">defensive rating</a>. Clearly, defense is the team’s top priority. As such, everyone is expected to be a capable defender on an individual level.</p><p>Mudiay is aware of Snyder’s praises, but he won’t let it go over his head. Instead, he vowed to show Snyder that he’s right about his presumptions.</p><blockquote>“[Snyder] tells me that I have the potential to be a great defender,” Mudiay said. “If he believes in me, then I’ve gotta believe in myself on that end, too.”</blockquote><p>The offseason can be labeled as a success for the Jazz. After all, not only did they acquire <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/Mike-Conley/a18208f7">Mike Conley</a> and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/Bojan-Bogdanovic/aa260955">Bojan Bogdanovic</a>, but they also got a hungry player in Mudiay who is raring to prove himself on the basketball court.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><iframe>    <script type="text/javascript">        window._taboola = window._taboola || [];        _taboola.push({            article: 'auto',            ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'        });        !function (e, f, u, i) {            if (!document.getElementById(i)) {                e.async = 1;                e.src = u;                e.id = i;                f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);            }        }(document.createElement('script'),            document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],            'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',            'tb_loader_script');        if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }    </script>    </iframe></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
