Lets put it out there ....Who thinks Hill starts over Exum,I don't

[Park Bites]

I would bet that Hill starts. Exum will get plenty of playing time with Hill and him on the floor at the same time. I think Hill will be a great mentor for Exum and it will make exum much better in 2 to 3 years.

I also wouldnt be suprised that Hill will start all year.

As for those that were complaining about his numbers last year pull your head out of your butts and look at what he did the previous year. That is what he is capable of when he is the ball handler. The pacers brought in ellis and we all know he is a ball hog the oppotunities were not there for him. Besides our wings handle the ball more any way and the offense runs through them.

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

My question is, who will finish games. I think Hill will finish a lot until we can trust Exum there. Perhaps both will finish games because we can now go small ball. Exum, Hill, Hood, Hayward, Favors anyone? How about Hill, Alec, Hood, Hayward, Favors to close out with Small ball. 4 x 3 point threats with Favors down low.

Alec and Exum have been injured too long and I think they both have more competition for minutes which is a good thing.

I am looking forward to the Fall when Jazzfanz realizes George Hill is really good.

 

[RandyForRubio]

Wouldn't be surprised to see us finish with this lineup:

Hill/Exum/Hood/Hayward/Favors

That's what's so nice about our roster makeup, is that we can adapt.

Playing a big lineup (Thunder):

Hill or Exum/Hood/Hayward/Favors/Gobert

Playing small:

Hill/Exum/Hood/Hayward/Favors or Gobert, depending on matchup.

We can run (if Snyder lets us), play slow, play big, play small.

 

[VINYLONE]

I don't think Hill will start but will more than likely get the majority of the minutes. Exum will be given a soft landing as per Mr. Locke. It makes sense, especially since the kid has been out the game for so long. We all know that NBA game type situations and physicality are impossible to match in full contact scrimmages.

 

[MVP]

No way Exum starts.He was just cleared for contact. It will take at least 6 month before he has no psychologic and physical limitations due to his knee. So if he starts it will be around All star break.

 

[Hekate]

Hill should start but It's Exum's job to take over. He should play like it.

 

[LjJazzman]

If Hill starts the season, plays well and the team is good, he'll continue starting. Jazz want to win and if Hill starting leads to wins, no change will be made.

This.

Jazz need to win now and whichever starters give them the best chance to do that they will go with. Exum doesn't HAVE to start to develop with this team. He can come off the bench and still get a ton of minutes. People need to remember how many god damn minutes Burke, Neto, Mack, Johnson, and Joe got last season. We are replacing those minutes with Exum, Alec and Hill. There is enough minutes to go around.

 

[tleikheen]

I think talent always wins out and Exum was stuck in the lineup for that reason already.Also I'll take playing time over mentoring.Lets not forget with Exum starting and playing the Jazz WON.So this win now mantra by playing Hill over Exum rings false as Jazz already were a winning team with Exum starting.
Exum is now playing 5 on 5 scrimmages and 4 more months before the start of the season to get more work on his knee and legs.That adds up to 15 months from surgery.

When Exum was starting he made his team mates and team better.Hill is a complimentary player ,a rotation type but does he make his team mates better as Exum has demonstrated.Talent wins out and fully expect Exum to be the starting PG.

 

[stitches]

I think he starts over Exum, but there might be a mid-season shift if Exum starts performing better and better.

 

[Revolution 9]

I think he starts to begin the season. Veteran presence while Dante shakes off the rust. Hill is more than capable of holding the job until Dante takes it away from him.

This. Unless Dante just lights it up in pre-season I think you start him off the bench. Build his confidence, and move him into the #1 slot if
he is playing at a high level. It's a LONG season, and we aren't sure how he will hold up. I see him moving into the starting role sometime in late January.

 

[cowhide]

Dante's health will be a big factor. I think if healthy Dante starts.
