I think that's mostly due to Jack being a top-flight passer, too.

It felt like "the horses around him" did not matter all that much in the title season, although maybe they would have if the Jazz had advanced to the title game again. What kind of makeup would you ideally want to put around Jack? Rugged defenders, willing passers, outside shooting, etc?
Was Jones the primary defender on Connors as he went for 43?

For the latter, I'm not sure. I am merely an observer in this universe; no coaching, no GM duties...I am simply letting this play out without any input on my behalf.
Ideally...well, it's the 80s, so the concept of Jack and 3-and-D guys is out. If we were to discuss NBA-comp players for the era (merely in the type of player, not necessarily the talent level):
PG: Ron Harper
SG: Mitch Richmond
SF: Jack
PF: James Worthy or Charles Oakley
C: Patrick Ewing or Tom Chambers
Guards who will run and take care of the ball (and in Richmond's case, can spread the floor), with a 4 that will either run with Jack or be an enforcer...and a defensive-minded 5.
