I think Burks gets close to 20 minutes per night unless we trade him.

"until" we trade him ??

That’s a bold prediction.
I would be shocked but I like where your heads at.

I have been 100% on this line of thinking but based on the fact that we have not moved him and how involved he seems to be, combined with the playing time and trust he got from Snyder in the Houston series I am starting to change my mind. But I guess we will see. I still think he would be better off in a different system and there is a decent chance we trade him this year but who knows.

Their's not much downside to this prior to the deadline. He got 16.5 per last season, so 20 isn't a stretch given the Jazz have a chance to raise his trade value.

Worst case scenario: Burks shoots good from long on decent volume and we have to wrangle between the idea of trading him or keeping "the new Alec".

In a close hard fought game when we are healthy

Point guard: Rubio 30 minutes, Exum 13 minutes, Mitchell 5 minutes (if X plays well he gets all 18 back up minutes)

Shooting guard: Spida 34 minutes, Exum 8 minutes, Allen 6 minutes (again, if X plays well then Mitchell doesn’t play any pg and his minutes at the sg go up to 37 with X getting 11 minutes at backup sg)

Small forward: ingles 29 minutes, rolls Royce 19 minutes

Power Forward: favors 18 minutes, Crowder 30 minutes

Center: Stifle Tower 35 minutes, favors 13 minutes

Exum is the hardest to predict imo. If he plays well I could see him getting close to 30 minutes per game between the 1 and the 2 leaving nothing for Allen, Burks or Neto. If he plays poorly then I could see him getting around 20 minutes per game and Allen, Burks, and/or neto could be in the rotation.

I have a hard time seeing thabo, Burks, neto, udoh, niang, etc getting many minutes at all in a close game while the team is healthy. Maybe thabo gets some but I struggle to see where. Maybe some scraps at power forward? I figure favors and crowder should get all those minutes and ingles and O’Neal should get all the small forward minutes and Mitchell, Rubio, Exum, and Allen getting all the 1/2 minutes.

I expect crowder to be much improved this year.

This may be a more fun exercise with Timberwolves minutes.

KAT: 46 Minutes
Jimmy Butler: 52 minutes
Derrick Rose: 5 Minutes
Andrew Wiggins: 42 Minutes
Taj Gibson: 48 Minutes
Jeff Teague: 46 Minutes
Tyus Jones: 1 Minute

If age and injuries have not slowed Thabo down he will get more minutes than Royce and maybe Crowder.

He had a career best year last year and was our best player until he got injured. Partially because Mitchell was still learning and Gobert was out hurt but he was really good.

I get that but the fact is that he is old, coming off injury, suspended, and we were basically the best team in the entire league and made a nice run in the playoffs while he was not playing. And he is only under contract for one more year. I think the jazz only picked up his contract for injury insurance and because it doesn’t hurt them financially to do so.

At the very least he will get jerebko's minutes.

Well, we also were playing the easiest part of our schedule during that time when we went on a win streak and we had Gobert back. Sef played great during our toughest stretch of games against the best teams. He matches up great against the top teams.

He was also old last year but he still had a career best year. Another year working with Snyder and he could be even more improved. I did expect much out of him when we signed him but he was really good.

As far as 1 more year goes that does not matter. We are in win now mode. Snyder is going to play the guys that give us the best chance to win.

I think they picked up his contract because he is good and exactly the type of player we need. He plays great defense at 4 positions 1-4, hits his threes, can create, and is a team player.

I dont know how much the injury is going to change him. I think that it wont be a factor and he has probably recovered but we will have to see. As far as the suspension goes it is only 5 games. That isnt a big deal.
