I would provide a quote, but the selection on my laptop is funky right now, won't work.

lol at the projected starters.

To the OP. Please don't ever use my name without written or verbal consent. Other than that, thanks for the link.

I can see that as the starting 5 against all but a handful of teams.

I don't understand all the Korver love that gets tossed about in the media. He wasn't a starter and in fact, played relatively few minutes. The media talks about him as if he was a Hornacek type player for Utah. Don't get me wrong, I like Korver and he was a great shooter but Sloan severely underutilized him and he wasn't that large a piece of Utah's success. The Jazz go forward without giving Korver so much as a second thought.

I think this is just proof that the national media either (A) doesn't know the team well, or (B) doesn't want to know the team well.

I agree with this synopses. At this point of the season, I think this is exactly where the team stands without having seen them play a real game yet.

I don't think he was underutlized; he was simply a one-trick pony. Well, three, I guess: jumper off the curl, corner 3 and shooting late FT's. He had a career year in terms of shooting percentage, but the odds are he returns to around 44%/40% next season. Whatever Raja has left in his tank for 20 mins/per, I'd take over Kyle. I'll bet Hayward gives the Jazz 7/2/2 in 15-20 mins. Kyle won't be missed.

Starters might be off in this article, but 50 wins is a decent forecast. WE won't know until we can see how Big Al adjusts and if Raja can adequately replace Matthews.
