I don't think Evans should be playing tbh. I agree as far as the other young guys, though.

Shaq Karl and Chuck on TNT = pure gold. Never laughed so hard on a post game show ever!

You are wrong. Jeremy Evans is a stud. Not just being homer. He is a positive to the team when he plays.

I don't think he should be playing either. In fact, I like the guy but I didn't think that he should have been resigned.

He shouldn't have been drafted.

Have to spread it around first.
He just needs to continue to work hard and get better and always be ready when called upon because you never know when a guy's going to go down with an injury.

I think the Jazz are really pushing the limits of this learning from the bench crap. I just dont get the lack of concern that they are denying them valuable reps during important growth years. An even bigger concern I have is that if we re-sign Al, does that mean Kanter will ride the pine his entire stint in Utah? A 3rd overall pick with promise? Seriously?
I think Jefferson and Millsap should both be gone next year just for those reason alone. Unless you trade Kanter.
It just seems like a stupid way to employ your assets. Assets, that cost you a lot to obtain.
I think the Jazz already hitched there wagon to this when they traded Deron. They made there bet. No point in hedging your bets if you want to win big. Have some balls. Take a leap of faith.
Jazz just look stupid like they can't make up there minds who they want, when everyone else thinks its pretty obvious.

I bet many of the rising stars don't rise anyway. Let us focus on the final score. Will Enes be a star?
Big Al played in place of Kanter. Commentators noted "Even for this exhibition that man defense stands out as truly awful".

Especially Kanter would be in the line up instead of lots of big men there but min, stats all the facts they look at. So Tristan Thompson, Vucevic, Faried etc. all playing with double double average. Potential is exactly the difference way to regard the facts but it's what it's. I am sure Kanter is swearing TY all the time he sees other guys playing 30 min average on the floor and he's holding towel for big Al.

It's just an unlucky situation for our young guys to end up with the Jazz. They could have made a name for themselves elsewhere.

That's good article and enough for the answer about rising star. Look at the list of players' min chosen for the game .

Anyone who thinks Burks has played well enough to be in this game is drinking more than kool-aid. He has had a few good games. If one looks at the entire season, he has looked loss more often than not and has been a poor decision maker. Great to see him playing better and would love to see him learn to play the point though I have doubts about that ever happening. In Kanter's case he is in the wrong place at the wrong time. If he were getting minutes he could have been there.

The thing about Burks so far this season is that as he's gotten more consistent minutes, his performance has gotten better (there's a bit of chicken-and-egg nested in this statement, but whatevs). Dude didn't start getting regular minutes until Dec. 23rd, has been getting 16+ minutes since Jan. 25th (the last 11 games), and has been playing 24+ minutes since Feb. 4th (the last 6 games).
