If you guys think Raja Bell is coming off the bench your insane. Jerry will start him. Miles & AK its debatable who will start. I hope its AK.

Everyone has their own opinions and here's my starters (not neccesarily most minutes);

Most common
DWill
Bell (Veteran / Defense / 41% from 3)
AK (I know most would say CJ, but I believe in putting your best 5 players on the court to start)
Sap
Jefferson
- coming off the bench first with CJ or Okur based on in-game needs/match-ups -

Against Big teams
DWill
CJ (though I like him more at three)
AK
Jefferson
Okur
- with Sap first off bench, or Bell for shooting -

Stretch the floor and allow Deron to operate
DWill
Bell
AK
Okur
Jefferson
- This gives 3 shooters and a low post scorer and Deron the ability to really run an offense -

I'm a self-admitted NEW Jazz fan so go easy. :p

Okay. Did you really just call AK a "shooter"

They could start AK and let him finish out the 1st by sliding over to play 4. I just see Jerry preferring AK as the stabilizing force on the second unit for the time he's out there. By coming in at the 5's, AK plays through the whole second unit until he closes halves and games with the first unit.
 
I thought the same but I think he means AK will be the slasher type while Bell will be the shooter. That would be a heck of a lineup. Memo and Bell sitting on the 3, D Will doing work, Al looking for a dish down low and AK slashing
 
The other thing is Bell's whole game is shooting 3's right? Playing with the first unit seems to play more to his strengths. I could also see CJ as being the 'scorer' of the second unit. How they flip AK/CJ could go either way. But I'd be surprised if we didn't close out halves and games with those two together, so CJ will be seeing more time at the 2 this year.
 
I think we all agree the starting 6 is:
Dwill
Bell
CJ
AK
Millsap
Jefferson

And while Jerry likes the fixed rotations, so we'll see who he thinks should come off the bench first. I like BShelby's summary, but i think there is a chance the CJ could be the right move if he continues his improved overall scoring skills and maybe be "the man" on the 2nd unit. And just like last year, finishers are in-game-strategy decisions. (Que the debate...)

OKur is not in this debate ("fortunately" he's injured...) But will figure in later in the season when he's back, but will have accepted the role with CJ as a leader/scorer on the 2nd unit. I think resting him a lot is good for him as a shooter. This would make the regular rotation first team a better defensive team and the 2nd team potent offensively and acceptable on D.

PG - Williams / Price / someone besides Gaines
SG - Bell / Miles / Hayward
SF - Miles / AK / Hayward / Evans
PF - Milsap / AK / Jefferson / Okur
C - Jefferson / Okur / Fes

That's 12 guys.
Depending on team needs I'd go either Augustine (PF/C), or a defensive and/or 3 pt threat SG for the 13th roster spot.

For a 13th guy, what about that Gansey kid out of WV? Some "experts" had the jazz picking him in the first round a few years ago. He's playing for Dallas in their summer league this year. He's 7 for 12 from 3 so far in 3 games.
