Yeah tonigt solidified this lineup in my mind:

Gobert/Withey/Pleiss
Favors/Booker/Lyles
Hayward/Ingles/Johnson
Burks/Hood/Millsap
Burke/Neto

Graham and Cotton are wished the best and sent on their way.

Johnson will be one of the last two guys on the squad. Only court time he will see is garbage time. He won't be bricking away anything.

Burke however could be a problem. I see games like tonight and they give me hope. But then I remmeber last preseason. SO I just can't bring myself to buy into him. Not yet.

Right, until Hood/Burks inevitably go down with one injury or another.

I love Burks' guts - the injury didn't result in him dialing down his game one bit. But his reckless abandon leaves a high propensity for bangs and bruises from time to time.

And until Hood can play a healthy 82 I'm going to be wary of him and his foot problems.

Burks injury is not one that you have to worry to much about reoccuring. Right medical guys? Hood some small concern but we will see. Even if they go down the time will go to Ingles and Millsap mostly.

Lyles has passed up a good handful of open looks this game.

Cause he can't shoot. Shooting is easily his #1 problem. And I noticed that the defenders seem to already know this since they sag off on him and play the passing lanes instead of guarding him

Withey is going to be a consistent player for us. NBA-ready.

Agreed. I like withey and I also think pleiss will be ok
 
Well some great news for the jazz is that Burks and hood look fantastic. Burks is scoring well, passing well, rebounding well, and even defending well (wasn't sure that part of his game would ever come around)

Hood looks poised and confident.
Hayward is a stud. Ingles is a really nice 4th wing and millsap is a good 5 wing.

Our wings are our strength this year. We are loaded. And that is amazing to say when you consider that we have favors and gobert as our bigs. Withey and booker are capable backups to those two and pleiss and lyles are not bad third stringers.

Trey looked good tonight and neto gives me hope.


Just stay healthy!!!

P.S. I'm glad we let the cake bake at the wing position
