Joe, that's what I have just heard. If he is really 19, he is incredible and is extremely physically gifted. His potential would be much higher if he is truly 19. I would still take him if he is older though.
The future is bright for the utah jazz!

Correct. Harris is a scoring PG. Isn't that what we had in Deron? I'm not saying Harris is a top-5 PG; he's not. But Devin is actually a better finisher on his drives than Williams was. And give the guy a shot at learning the offense (in whatever form it takes). He was a mid-year addition, playing with a bunch of guys who were as equally lost. I can see a solid offense forming with Harris driving and looking for Jefferson, Favors or throwing it back out to Hayward. Devin played pretty well after returning from his injury.
Yes, the Jazz will eventually need to replace him. But I don't think that's an immediate need. Draft strategy can - and should - be to take the BPA. Utah can use the depth anywhere and then look to trade if/when players develop.
And I agree with zman. Corbin needs to develop a system that will rely more on Hayward and Favors. Those 2 guys can be absolutelly dominant at their positions. It might take another 1-2 years for them to develop consistency, but it's gonna be fun to watch them become stars.
My dream line up for next year:
PG: Harris/Jimmer
SG: Hayword/Miles or Alec Burks
SF: Milsap/Evans
PF: Favors/AK
C: Jefferson/Tomic
First team play mainly man to man and execute old school Jazz offense. Pound it down low.
Second team play mainly zone and run as much as possible. They are long, athletic, & quick. Also, with the zone it will hide any sort comings from Jimmer's D. I also think the zone is effective in spurts as not that many teams in the NBA play it.

So our team as presently constituted is your dream lineup?
The idea of the new no-elite PG ideology is just that. No. To. Them.
So, given the choice of picking Deron Williams or Chris Paul at 3 in 2005, the Jazz shoulda gone for Martell Webster. Ergo, no problem with comments like "That's why I just signed for 3 years" or "Here's to Amare, Melo and me forming our own Big 3 haha".
Or Derrick Rose who, man, in 2008. You go with the pick 2 guy, Beastly Beasley, or the 3 guy, Mayo ace.
Avoid them elite PGs. They never win championships. Travel back in time to swap Stockton for Pippen to help the Mailman. New no elite PG policy to be implemented in the draft and in future trades and signings.

So three rookies off the bench are going to swing us from ****** to very good? Sounds about right.
You might need another cup of Koolaid.
No seriously.
Have some more koolaid!
I insist!
If this is true, maybe coach should consider running the offense through Hayward and others more , and letting Harris be a primary scorer.

I don't think that's the philosophy per se. Start McLeod or Palacio on the Lakers or Spurs and those two teams wouldn't have won their titles. You need to have a quality PG to win. I also think the team can make or break a PG. Devin Harris on the Mavs...all-star. On the Nets...2nd tier player. Fisher on the Lakers (well, except for this year)...pretty good PG. On any other team...end of bench.
