If you ran the Jazz, what would you do?
- Thread starter juds101
- Start date
Deron
CJ
AK
Jefferson (or possibly Millsap)
Fes
I'd give Fes about 15-20 minutes per game, and give the rest to Sap/AL. I'd give Hayward and Evans significant burn, and reduce Bell's minutes by 75%. I'd also find a way to unload Okur, and possibly AK (even though I'd ideally like to keep for 5-6m a year).
I would take advantage of mismatches, and go with whatever lineups work at the time. Instead of random robotic substitutions and plays.
I would play Deron at the 2 for 10 minutes a game, with Watson at the point.
I would have no problem with someone losing their starting position after an injury, if someone else steps up.

Save 1 million dollars which the Millers would love for luxury reasons. Boobie is a more consistent threat from 3 than Miles is. We have Hayward and Evans who we all want to play more. This also moves Bell to the bench and we can keep him fresh.
D-Will cannot guard PG's he is too slow for some reason laterally. But he played very good defense against Kobe and Brandon Roy (healthy) and other players very well. He has a long wing span and is strong enough to stop them. Play D-Will at the point 80 percent of the time still and let Boobie and Watson play the other 20 percent.
D-Will plays PG on offense but SG on defense. Boobie is a great spot up shooter and would thrive having D-Will hit him for 3's. Have boobie play PG on defense though. Or switch off depending on match ups.
D-Will - Watson
Gibson - Bell
Hayward - AK - Evans
Jefferson - Millsap
Fesenko - Elson - Okur
Than move Millsap back to the bench not because he isn't deserving of starting but the fact that we cannot spot penetration. Guys like Russell Westbrook get into the paint whenever they want. Fesenko clogs the paint and Jefferson is a good weak side shot blocker so they would complement each other well on defense.
Start Hayward because we will need to spread the court with Fesenko and Jefferson is the game. Hayward can spread the floor better than AK can.
D-Will, Boobie, and Bell share the guard minutes
Hayward and AK share the SF minutes (Evans won't play much this year)
Have a rotation of Jefferson, Millsap and Fesenko at the PF and Center position.AK will play some PF when we need to play a quicker lineup
