Millsap is the starting PF on how many teams?

Worst case scenario the Jazz have a PF that can start on half the teams in league and makes 6.7 million a year. Am I missing something or are some of your priorities seriously ****ed up?

Which means he is a below average starting PF. On a team that has a player that is already far superior on the defensive end of the floor,is younger, and has a lot more potential. Meanwhile this team has no reason not to develop this younger player as they are not a contender.

Soo, the point is he should not be "our" starting PF and if he won't accept a backup role then he becomes a problem.

Fine, I'll play this game. I honestly see 8 teams I think he should start over their PF on.

Is the same true of Jefferson, who has proven to be a highly inefficient loser (and is paid much more) his whole career? Is he willing to come off the bench? If not, is that a problem?

Give Jefferson at least next year to see what he can do. His first year with the Jazz was a rollercoaster ride from the movie Jawbreaker.

Jefferson is more of a C. Millsap is a PF. Favors may be able to play C but seems like he would need to add weight to play there consistently.

So if Favors was more of a C than a PF maybe you would have a point. But he's not. And Millsap is not. Playing Favors and Millsap together does nothing to solve the problem of severe lack of height starting games at PF/C for Utah.

Favors is our PF of the future and there is no reason for him not to play the majority of the PF minutes for this team. He can slide and play C some just so Millsap can get his minutes. Or you can play Fess or another real center with Millsap.
