Gordon at PG.

Well, he is a Point Shooting Guard. And a really good one. And I'm really happy with that.
Don't like him at Small Forward. But I'm counting on the 2012 draft to fill the jazz' needs there anyway.

I just thought Hayward might be the most effective PG on the current Jazz (in spite of not playing there). I'm just fantasizing about them grooming him as a PG for a little while, get Stock to spend a couple weekends with him, I think he could be really good there. I like the way the offense moves when he directs it. And he's 6'8". That gets me stiff.

I thought I saw Harris trying to distribute a lot more than normal this game. He played very well, but it's clear who the crunch time leaders are after this

Favors, Hayward and Harris. (no particular order)
 
I'm fine with not having a PG who dominates the ball and all assists run through him. However, with that being said, if we opt for a less-distributing PG then the most important thing, above anything else, that our point guard must do is be a huge threat from the outside. That's the only reason I don't want so many of the guys that get suggested (no slashers, no Rondos). I'd prefer someone in the form of a Kirk Hinrich, Chauncey Billups, or... Jimmer.

I'd take Rondo in a heartbeat.
 
First off, Gordon's official height is 6'9", and second off, I would be happy if Ty would just keep him at the 2. I think his natural position is the 2 because there are some beast 3's in the NBA.

Jimmer
Hayward
Gilchrist
Kanter
Favors




3/4 swingman Millsap, 1/2 combo Burks. This lineup will look stupid in 3 years.

How were the Jazz suppose to get Jimmer if they got Kanter. Jimmer was already picked when the Jazz selected Burks. I would love to get MKC as our starting SF. Play Burks, Hayward, MKC, Favors and Kanter. The Jazz would win multiple championships with that lineup in four years or so.
 
I believe there are really only two positions offensively: Perimeter players and bigs.

Any perimeter player could conceivably be the primary ball handler. Gordon's not a PG, per se, and Harpring was squawking something fierce last night about Hayward's offensive position ("I SEE HIM MORE AS A 2 BECAUSE HE CAN HANDLE THE BALL, 3S DON'T EVER HANDLE THE BALL" X20 TIMES).

Hayward should handle the ball a lot and I think we're seeing his role start to be defined a little more. I think he is a legit ballhandler, even if he doesn't score a lot on isos (not many do, either, but not many have the vision and the passing ability from the wing that he's showing either).

This is a very good post. But, we should discuss the defensive side of the court .. gets much tougher than then the O ball.
