Looking at the Rotation and a couple of questions

Green is older. Let him start, use up his energy against opposing 4s until he is gassed (~20 min), then close with Bogey.

Bogey is strong enough to close at the 4 and be effective defensively. Pairing him with Ingles to close out games makes us unstoppable offensively, so do that.

I'm either for this, or for Royce starting at 4. Bogey and Ingles definitely close games, doe.

I know his college coach who went on to coach in the NBA considers Georges his favorite player -- at any level. Hard worker, great attitude, gym rat constantly looking to improve. His coach's opinion holds a lot of sway with me.

I’m sold on him as a regular season contributor. He’s consistently improved every since he was drafted. I need to see more before I’d trust him completely in the playoff rotation, but he should get a solid chance to carve out a significant role this season. We’ll see what he makes of it.
 
I think Royce makes a jump this year. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him start as a 3/4 with Bogdanovic and have Jingles come in off the bench with the second unit.

I'm not so sure how exactly we could manage Gobert, tho. Opposition quality should be really lame, or if we decided to punt some game. Could see we let some guys get rest games at the end of regular season depending on how early we consolidate our spot and how much we'll have to fight for the highest seedings.

I am with you on this one. If he is a regular in our rotation it does not bod well. Good teammate and good guy to have in specific situations but not a regular rotation guy. As for the PG position, DM is our insurance if someone gets hurt. We have plenty of depth in that position. Go get another big.

With our increased capacity for offense, I think Quinn is going to try and get ahead and start well in as many games as he can. This will allow him to play small ball more often, and stagger some of our younger rotational players for increased minutes.

Anytime we get off to a hot start, watch for Royce O’Neal, Mudiay, and Exum to play extended minutes. Green has been known to man the 5 for limited minutes in the past, and short stints (when appropriate) may prove valuable over 82 games.

I would love to see the Jazz use this little itty bitty bit of cap space to be able to offer just over a minimum deal to a guy like Furkan Korkmaz. He only has two years of experience, so I think it would be $100,000(ish) more than a minimum. Could be wrong on that.
 
Andy Larsen's piece indicates that the front office is not content with what they are seeing in summer league. It will be interesting to see what they come up with.
