Kanter+Favors look like a solid defensive frontcourt. Offense comes and goes but you got guys that can D up like those two you can win some games.

One of them needs to develop a decent 10-15 ft shot. Then surround those two with wings and a PG who can shoot. Right now, if you had Favors, Kanter, Hayward, Bell and Harris in the game, opposing teams would laugh. You'd have to hope you could hold them to 10 points each quarter because not one of those Jazz players can hit an outside shot right now.

Just look at Orlando. Howard is a great defensive center, but no one around him is contributing.

I'll settle for a difference maker on the boards and a defensive presence. If he can hit the 15 foot jumper and clean up garbage around the hoop that is just a bonus.

I believe he'll add that jumper somewhere down the line. Seeing him shoot them in practice makes me believe it comes a lot more naturally than it does to Favors.

Favors has been hitting some of those shots and should improve considerably on those over the next few years. Kanter will be fine with them, he looked good shooting them the other night, just short. Would not be at all surprised to see him make his next one. He is progressing well: remember how he got blocked several times right under the hoop the first few games? That is not happening as much so he has already adjusted that.
 
Is it too soon to think about playing Jefferson more at PF, and giving Kanter and Favors more minutes sharing the center position?
 
C kanter 20 / favors 20 / jeffs 10
PF jeffs 20 / mills 30
SF Hayw 20 / how 15 / CJ 15
SG bell 15 / burks 20 / hayhowcj 15
PG harr 25 wats 20
 
You can't take PF minutes away from Millsap.

All summer I thought with more guard skills Sap would be playing well at the 3 but really it's just made him a really tough matchup at 4.
 
with this compact shedule, there have already been a number games of Millsap or Jefferson played too many minutes to be at their best.
