Wow; this is unusual. I have to AGREE with everyone's earlier comments in this thread... We need to see more Hayward at SG, Favors at both C and PF, and I'd also like to see more Evans at SF over Miles too... He could develop into a good slasher to go with Hayward and Kirilenko. Miles has become a horse, but is slow-footed laterally, and throws up too many prayers that have little chance of getting answered.
One thing I do like a lot about Jefferson is he is willing to work at his all-round basketball education he's getting in Utah. A lot of big scorers in the NBA can't be bothered with it. Al's rebounding is getting better, he's getting a surprising number of blocks, and I expect his overall D will in time become more consistant.
A couple obvious fouls that shoulda been called on the Celts turned the tide of this game, IMO...

Even though AL has been putting up some crazy numbers as of late on the boards, Im still pretty unimpressed by his effort on the glass. I see him let way to many balls go casually by him.
Right, or just don't play AK at the 4. You could even conceivably give each of Millsap, Jefferson, and Favors 32 minutes.
However you break it down, again, there is no reason he shouldn't get at least 24 mpg.
Foul trouble might disagree with you

If him being casual on the glass means 18 boards, then I say he should be as casual as possible. Maybe a smoking jacket and a pipe with some bunny slippers or something.
I want to see more Big Al/Favors and more Millsap/Favors. Yup.

Minutes break down the way I want to see them:
PG: Harris-36, Watson-12
SG: Hayward-36, CJ-10 (middle 2nd, middle 3rd...or as I call them, the "nap time" minutes of the game), Bell-2 (start of the 2nd, when he can't do too much harm to the team)
SF: AK-40, Evans-8
PF: Millsap-36, Favors-12 (any foul trouble from Millsap or Jefferson will add more minutes to this)
C: Jefferson-36, Favors-12
PG: Harris-36, Watson-12
SG: Hayward-36, CJ-10 (middle 2nd, middle 3rd...or as I call them, the "nap time" minutes of the game), Bell-2 (start of the 2nd, when he can't do too much harm to the team)
SF: AK-40, Evans-8
PF: Millsap-36, Favors-12 (any foul trouble from Millsap or Jefferson will add more minutes to this)
C: Jefferson-36, Favors-12

I like your minutes distribution, but I'd bump Evans up about 7 minutes. He needs the time and AK is too fragile to play that many minutes.
