Rotation?

I think Collier is actually better than washed Patty. I think he likely does one G league stint but maybe only for the showcase or if he is struggling. Other than that I think the rotation players are:

Starters
KG
Sexton
Lauri
Taylor
Kessler

Bench Regular Rotation
Collins
Williams
Clarkson
Brice
Collier

Injuries and strategic absences will provide opportunities but I think Lauri Collin Kessler KG only get around 30 minutes a game to allow a 10 man rotation.

Man it would be nice to dump Collins and Clarkson and get juzang and flip in there.

Based on what I have seen in preseason we may want Clarkson there instead of Juzang to help the tank lol. I think they will try but not super optimistic they find a taker. Next year both of those contracts are expiring and can be used to do a sign and trade or some other transaction though.... so I think only one more year or waiting.
 
The only thing I somewhat dislike about the rotation is that it caps Sexton's minutes. I feel as though if he's here, we might as well let him pop off and get real starter minutes. If he's around 26-28....I don't feel as though we're even giving him the opportunity to be a star/be seen as a star. If he's only getting 26-28 minutes, the league will only see him as that. Maybe that's how the Jazz only see him....if so we should have traded him already. Either give him that opportunity to be more or just move on.
 
I mean there are definitely going to be injuries, Collier is injured right now. At any point throughout the year we will have 1 or likely 2 rotation players out with little urgency to get them back until they are fully 100%. Playing time will work itself out.

I think Clarkson has been pretty good sans the turnovers.

Probably right.
 
I'm projecting that Collier and Flip will spend sigificant time in the G-League. This is my rotational guess:

Starting Lineup:

PG: Keyonte George
SG: Collin Sexton
SF: Lauri Markkanen
PF: Taylor Hendricks
C: Walker Kessler

Bench Rotation:

PG/SG: Patty Mills
They brought him in for development help. He'll win games for us in this role, all the rookies and 2nd year guys can learn from him. Can play both PG and SG.

SG: Jordan Clarkson
Need a sixth-man type of performance out of him this year.

SG/SF: Cody Williams
Probably the 2nd or 3rd best player on the team. Needs a mentor like Patty Mills, could have a fantastic 1st year, even if he's coming off the bench.

PF/C: John Collins
Can play either PF or C.

C: Drew Eubanks
This guy can play. He'll push Kessler to be better. He can score and defend, off the bench, at the center position.

Deep Bench/Development Players:

Brice Sensabaugh
Where does Brice fit, if you have a healthy Cody and Lauri?

Johnny Juzang
Worked hard to become an assassin. Every team needs a good, "dead-eye" shooter to make up ground. Kind of a Sam Merrill type player. May or may not get minutes every night.

Svi Mykhailiuk
Have you noticed that the Jazz have a lot of guys at that guard-forward position? Where does he fit? Is that just the NBA?

Depending on how the season goes, and how well Cody and Taylor are coming along, the Jazz have some trade capital at the deadline. Meaning, they could trade any of the following: Jordan, John, Sexton and Brice. This will be a tough decision, if the Jazz sit in the top-half of the league come February. If Collier and Flip are crushing it in the G-League, making those trades becomes more important for their promotion.
 
This article talks about Sexton being a renegotiate and extend candidate for the jazz next summer if he has another season like last season
