Who is the choice at SG?

Why not start Howard at the 3 and let Hayward play the 2? Hayward has played some of his best games at the 2.

Because I think the Jazz management don't see Hayward as a future 2, they want him to play SF. I think it makes more sense given Burks' potential.

Anyone who says Burks isn't a good defender is stupid. He is a rookie playing his first few games in the NBA. It's a whole different game than in college, he has to get the pace of the game down. He made 2 steals in 9 minutes even though it was against scrubs, he still has a lot of potential to be a solid defender. If you give him minutes, his defense will improve. I haven't seen many rookies come into the NBA and be lock down defenders...

I agree. He is really quick and gets in the passing lanes (he is 7th in steals among rookies/game with minute minutes). He was right up in Mathew's face in the preseason. He was laying off of Fernandez a little bit too much off of the ball, and he has too learn the rotations a bit better and not be intimidated with big name players. I have good vibes about his d though. Don't let me down Burks!

Deleted because every schmoe on this board has already made the same joke about this post that I did.

Ahh ****; two swings and two misses for me today (when we talk into account the 0-2 start thread). I admit, the jokes are rather hilarious though
