Will Burks Continue to Start?

I think Burks starting is a big improvement, but do you think it will continue? Maybe Quin started him only because he matched up better with Westbrook.
 
Neto seemed fine but didn't get any minutes (I don't think, anyway). Maybe there has been a shift?
 
Heavy minutes for our starters.

Burks 36
Hood 36
Hayward 36
Booker 30
Favors 40

Burke 24
Withey 13
Ingles 15
Lyles 10
 
Hope so, he's earned it.. I've only been vouching for Burks at PG my entire Jazzfanz career, so I'm plenty biased - Lets see what he can do though!!

I kinda thought it'd be more of a gradual easing into the position but last years injury threw a monkey wrench in those plans, same for Dante's injury this summer. I said years back he could have a Linsanity type of impact this season, and could be a 15-5-5 type of PG -- We'll see how that goes..


I remember the last time they started him at PG, it didn't go so well and posters here killed him and anyone who thought he could run the show. Pretty sure that was back with Richard Jefferson and Kanter in the starting lineup.

Yup, gonna be interesting. Seems like Neto is better equipped to guard TP. Burks starting sure got us off to a good start last night though.
 
He should continue to start. Neto could use some DLeague time, IMO. Get some shots up.

Haven't had a chance to watch the game yet but sounds like players were absolutely gassed going into OT
 
I'm all about always putting out a competitive lineup, but coming off the bench invariably affects the ceiling of how many minutes a player plays. We don't have the depth to afford the luxury of having Burks come off the bench (and thus, losing productive minutes). I think on a contender, Burks best role is coming off the bench, but this team is miles from that right now.
 
Sounds like Quinn wanted to give the game a playoff type of vibe. Big minutes to starters and a small rotation. I'm glad they decided to do that, because it should help these young players when they do manage to make the post season.
 
Also, Withey should start and Lyles should go to the D-League for a spell. Once Lyles can actually shoot, then the Jazz can again experiment with the idea that he can stretch the floor for anyone at all. Until he can consistently do anything, he probably shouldn't be playing, let alone starting.

I think Burks guarding Tony Parker > neto guarding him.
And I especially think Parker having to guard Burks > Parker having to guard neto

I agree about Withey and tinker with a Burks, Hood, Hayward, Favors, Withey starting 5. I don't see any detriment to sending Lyles to the DLeague for 4-5 games. I'm probably one of the more optimistic fans about Lyles, I think he does have the ability to be an impact player, but it really just comes down to how he develops.
 
I think Lyles is in the perfect spot to learn ....starting in a lineup with Burks,Hood,Hayward,& Favors will benefit him as well as the Jazz as he will become an integal part of the Jazz rotation joining Gobert and Favors.Who really thinks Withey and Booker are going to be and stay Jazz players into next season.
As it is now you're not seeing Lyles closing out games but still he has the best view to learn ,on the bench.
Next year it will be Exum,Burks/Hood,Hayward,Favors,Gobert w/Lyles,maybe Burke as the core.Lyles has skill and is getting rebounds and moving the ball.He's just like Exum last year ,under a short leash by Coach Snyder on how much he gets to do.
