5 - Walker / Nurkic
4 - Lauri / Flip / Hendricks (min. restr.)
3 - Ace / Cody / Svi
2 - Keyonte v. Brice -- this could flip either way during camp & pre-season
1 - Collier (for now) / WCJ
- Collier is still the best guard we have at running the offense and pushing tempo for the moment. That could change over the course of the season if Walt starts to shine.
- Who starts at the 2 between Keyonte and Brice could be decided during camp or pre-season. Keyonte probably has the edge going into camp, but he needs to defend and pick his spots on offense.
- Lauri likely starts at the 4 so Ace can start at the 3. I think the Jazz give Ace the start even if his minutes are held back a bit.
- Flip can take minutes at the 5 if the goal is to space the floor, but defense is probably still holding him back.
- I think the Jazz are going to be cautious with Taylor for the first few months and bring him back slowly.
- Not sure what happens with KJ Martin. His deal is expiring, and I could see him being moved when Hendricks is ready.
- Walt, Brice, Cody and Flip are basically the 2nd unit, along with one of Hendricks, Nurkic or KJ Martin.
