What's new

What do you want the Jazz lineup to look like next year?

PG: Harris, Knight, Watson
SG: [Free Agent (Thornton, JR Smith)], Hayward, Miles
SF: Hayward, Kirilenko, Morris
PF: Favors, Millsap, Morris
C: Jefferson, Favors, Fesenko

This is a flexible lineup that will also provide quality backups for the inevitable injuries. I think Millsap should go back to being the 6th man, he can bring reliability off the bench (something we sorely missed last year). AK comes back for cheap in a reduced role, as his new maturity should allow. I never want to see Bell again.
 
PG: Devin Harris, Earl Watson
SG Gordon Hayward, Arron Afflalo
SF Derrick Williams, Paul Millsap, Chris Singleton
PF Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap
C Derrick Favors, Mehmet Okur
 
PG: Harris/ Jimmer / Watson
SG: Affalo / Hayward
SF: Williams / Miles
PF: Favors / Millsap
C: Jefferson / Okur

Boy, are we weak at shooting guard. I don't know if KOC feels completely confident with Hayward as a 30 minute player quite yet. I sure hope KOC goes after a free agent shooting guard because I doubt we will go that direction in the draft.
 
PG: Harris, Watson, Jimmer
SG: Hayward, Miles, Bell
SF: Derrick Williams, Miles, Evans
PF: Favors, Millsap
C: Jefferson, Okur, Fes?

It's a toss-up for me between Williams and Kanter. Williams fills an immediate need and ensures that AK won't be back. If Williams, I'd also vote for re-signing Fes to a cheap deal. There's no guarantee Okur comes back from his injury.

If the Jazz get Kanter, I'd probably want Singleton at #12. Fes wouldn't return, but AK might under that scenario. Or Jazz could look to use the MLE on some other SF.
 
Harris/Jimmer
Hayward/CJ
Williams/Evans
Al Jeff/Millsap
Favors/Okur

That would be my ideal.

Exactly how I feel. Throw in AK to back up at the SF and Fes as an insurance big man with another guard (Watson) and they are golden. Millsap is great off the bench and our shooting improves dramatically with Jimmer and Williams. And our size is good at all positions especially at 2 (6'8 Hayward), 3 (6'8 240 Williams), and 4 (6'10 280 AJ).

I love how the second team would play out too. Jimmer, CJ and Okur jacking up 3s and spreading the floor, Evans and Millsap getting Off Reb's and Millsap having plenty of room to work with against a backup PF/C.
