Millsap starting

[NUMBERICA]

I'd also like to echo WTF on Bell continuing to start.

P.S. BIG AL is a BIG PROBLEM. It's a damn shame his salary and his reputation demand that he start no matter what.

EDIT: One last thing to add/clarify: I'm not a fan of how this may impact Favors and his development, but the clear-cut best player on the team shouldn't be coming off the bench in any universe, either. There is a sore thumb sticking the **** out, and it doesn't know how to do anything outside of the left block on offense.

Here we go - Millsap and Favors to start. Jefferson out for the night....

Favors has no range and can't spread the floor. Millsap has great range, possibly out to the 3 point line this year. You can't win in this league without good floor spacing.

Doesn't that sound like a small forward to you?

I think Milsap has some matchups where he could play SF. For example against Artest on the Lakers.

Good.

Favors hasn't just been underwhelming, he's been bad. I don't know why so many people seem to be opposed to someone earning something. Millsap's been the only guy on the team that's showed up.

If Favors really has what it takes to be the guy, then this will help him.

How has Millsap been an improvement over Favors? Millsap comes in and the opponents PF goes off and the Jazz lose touch with the other team. Favors is superior defensively. I actually agree that Jefferson is the problem though.

People are not opposed to Millsap starting. From what I have seen most of the posters here want a Favors-Millsap starting lineup.

Well what do you know.... the Jazz look a lot better and win with Paul Millsap and Favors starting

The Jazz played Jazz basketball much better with Big Al not on the floor. Only 1 game but it was interesting to see.

Shocker

So would I, normally, although I was at the game (in the cumulus section), and Bell didn't seem to do much, but it seemed like his man didn't score much. Howard and CJ each coming in were better in some ways and worse than others. But net net, Bell seems to continue to not warrant the PT that he's getting, and Burks should get some of Bell's.

Fixed.
