Where is Favors in your minutes. I believe either Al or Millsap will be traded. They are not a great combo on the court and the young bigs need minutes. We are in need of a backup PG and another wing guy that can actually play. I want Favors to average at least as many minutes as any other big on the roster with Kanter also getting 10-15 per game at the least. Preferably closer to 20 MPG.
Harris/???? Burks?
Hayward/CJ/Burks/Bell
CJ/Evans/Millsap
Favors/Millsap/evans/jefferson
Jefferson/Kanter/Memo
If Memo wants to play then he needs to go. Millsap or Jefferson also need to be traded for a starting quality SF and a backup PG. Even as a CJ homer I don't want him being the SF getting the majority of the minutes there. We are in need of a good starting quality SF more than anything. Basically use any of the following to get a starting SF:Millsap, Bell, Memo, CJ, and the rights to Tomic.

Big Al + Millsap for Dwight Howard.

Frontcourt: My belief is Favors will average about 25. Hopefully his play pushes that number to 30. He's too raw offensively to leave on the court if you're trying to win. I wouldn't be surprised if Okur limits Kanter's minutes to start the season. KOC's goal is definitely to trade Okur but he has to play well to make it work.
Wings: Definitely think the Jazz will explore Sap at the 3. Definitely think it won't work. Miles and Hayward will get the big minutes. Millsap will spot. They'll (sadly) lean heavily on Raja. They hope Burks can spot, but my guess is a vet is brought in who ices out Burks unless Burks really, really is ready.

Kobe was not ready either, but did the Lakers play him and let him develop and learn his first year? I will answer my own question. YES Did Kobe hurt them with his play? Yes, but it speeded up his development greatly. Give the young ones playing time and see who the keeper are moving forward.
Do you really think we are ready to make the play-offs next year? Play the young core of this team a lot. The worse that can happen is were in the lottery again. Give them experience and add 2 lottery picks in next years draft, then were loaded to make a run at that ever elusive championship in a few years.

Remembering Kanter and Burks are ROOKIES, something like this makes sense to me:
Harris 30, Watson 18
Hayward 22, Bell 16, Burks 10
CJ 22, Millsap 8, Evans 12, Hayward 6
Favors 24, Millsap 18, Evans 6
Jefferson 30, Kanter 10, Okur 8
Harris 30, Watson 18
Hayward 22, Bell 16, Burks 10
CJ 22, Millsap 8, Evans 12, Hayward 6
Favors 24, Millsap 18, Evans 6
Jefferson 30, Kanter 10, Okur 8

I disagree on Favors. While raw offensively you are pairing him with Jefferson who is a 20 PPG scorer. On defense he is superior to both Millsap and Jefferson already. He needs to learn to stay out of foul trouble but I believe that will be worked on this season.
Honestly I don't think the Jazz should necessarily be trying to win right now. Develop their players and work on making this young conglomeration of talent into a team with chemistry. Part of this is I see no room for Millsap and a desperate need for a starting SF. I want them to use Millsap to acquire a SF. Millsap starting at SF is a disaster waiting to happen.

This crap about not playing these young guys because there young is moronic.
We aren't contending and have no chance at contending. So why make them sit the bench? Do you guys really think they are somehow going to develop by never playing consistent minutes?
This old Jazz mindset is horrible. Do you guys realize that Jerry Sloan NEVER developed prospects because of this? We never took a young player without experience and developed him in practice.
The only time young guys were effective were when they were NBA ready. No teenager was developed properly by Sloan. And its all because they never got playing time.
Burks should play 25 minutes next year. Favors should play over 30 minutes next year. Kanter should play 25 minutes next year. Hayward should play 30 minutes next year. GIVE THEM EXPERIENCE! Nobody develops in practice. They refine there game in practice. But they don't develop there.
Trade the guys that are in the way of those 4 young core players.
Millsap needs to go. Bell needs to go.
