Gobert should start

[Lakers_Slapper]

Here is some more stats that can be compared between the 80's and 90's. I think its pretty obvious.

I think Gobert should start. He clearly has an impact on the game. I'm not sure why Booker gets in before him.

Booker would get in because Snyder wants 48 minutes of Favors-Gobert at "Center."

I'd be fine with Booker. Just get Enes out of there.

That can still be accomplished with a rotation like this. . .

Gobert - Favors

Favors - Booker

Gobert - Kanter

Then mix and match with whoever is playing the best. It's not like losing games is the end of the world for a young, developing team like the Jazz. Try different combinations and see how they fit together. I personally have liked what I've seen from everyone so far except for Kanter. I just don't know where he fits in. If Favors can defend the 4, I'd really like to see him and Rudy out there together. Maybe it doesn't work, but I'd sure like to see Snyder at least try it to see.

Our offense would most likely be awful starting Gobert/Favors.

I disagree. Our offense thrives when we get stops on defense and can run and Rudy makes that happen more then any player on the team.

I'm 100% in favor of starting Rudy and Favors, and brining Enes in with Booker for a scoring punch off the bench.

It seems that either Favors or Gobert will have to be in the game when Enes is on the floor. He can't defend at the C position. I hope to see Q's rotations reflect this from here on out.

 

[Willie]

Our offense would most likely be awful starting Gobert/Favors.

As long as Favors is dependable from the free throw line area and Gobert is good with passing out of horns, then it could work. I think it could quickly become a better overall package (offense and defense) than Favors and Kanter.

He is not even big impact. You see how much he is late to rotation? Maybe he need to get into game shape because he looks much better last year. I wish he did not take summer off.

 

[Coach Ellis]

You might be right. The problem with the Jazz mentality under Corbin was that there was never any willingness to try things to actually see if they worked or not. Right now, I'd rather see Snyder try whatever he wants. If it doesn't work, then he try's something else. Burks should start. Core 5 (whatever it is) should play together. Dante should play with Burke some rotations and with Burks on others. The plain and simple fact is that despite several years of drafting and now developing lottery players, the Jazz aren't any closer to knowing what kind of team they have. I think they should TRY whatever they want and actually see how it works before assuming that it will or won't.

Maybe I'm wrong, but if they try it they'll actually know (instead of assume) that the offense stinks with Gobert and Favors out there together and they're not any further from the playoffs than they were by teaming Gobert or Favors with Kanter or Booker. They're a long way from contending, so I think they should learn as much about these kids as they possibly can over the course of this season.

 

[NAOS]

Tough night for Rudy.

Good night for Booker.

Bottom line: a usurper will emerge. Goodbye Enes.

 

[Aneurism]

This isn't likely unless they get Favors to extend his shot to the 3 point line, and also learn how to defend the perimeter (which would still be a couple of years away if they did). Favors is looking more confident with his mid range shot at the moment so hopefully he is able to increase that range.
