Starting:
Burks

Kanter
Favors
Why:
We are big and athletic at every position.
PG --Burks has the ball, which is where he is succesful, and we can really seee if the Spokane trip really enhanced his PG skills (and a 6'6" pg with a 6'10" wingspan and his athleticism seems too good to not keep trying for). Yes, both Burks and Hayward need the ball this year, but both have also said they really like eachothers games and love playing together, which leads to believe they could easily figure it out. Imagine two athletic slashers in the backcourt making plays and driving and dishing.
SG --- Gordon outrebounds other 2 gaurds easily here. He has a good view of court for playmaking, and can shoot over other 2 gaurds more easily. It's too much to ask of him to be the #1 option, and also conted with SF's like Durabt, Leonard, George, and Lebron (when he plays it) etc. Just reference end og season game against Lakers his rookie year.
SF -- Hate on Marvin all you want, but he plays good defense, and has the length to do it (6'8" with a 7'4" wingspan). He also doesn't demand ball to be effective (thus freeing it up for Enes, Hayward and Burks).
PF -- I know Corbin says he views the bigs as bigs, and mathcups will dictate their position, and I agree with that. I just put Enes here since he is the one with a softer touch, more post moves, and a better jump shot.
C -- Favors. He has Dwight potential.
Second Unit:
Burke
Rush
Jefferson
Evans
Gobert
2 PG -- From watching Burke, it is evident he still has a lot to learn, and the best place for him to learn without messing up the devlopment of our other young guys is playing in the second unit. His competition won't be as fierce here, and he can put together a nice sring of games. Seond unit will allow him to learn to run the offense (instead of just being a small 2 gaurd in starting lineup while Gordon plays Point Forward), find his shot, and adapt to the NBA pace.
2 SG -- Rush fits nicely here. In all of his interviews, Rush says he sees himself as 6th man, and that is what he wants to be for Utah. He has great size for a 3&D, who could be the recipient of some nice feeds from Burke, as well as help to cover up some of the rook's defensive mistakes.
2 SF -- R. Jefferson has surprised me so far this year, but I don't like him in starting lineup. I think fatigue will set in , making him less effective against starters. Anyways, I don't really care to watch too many of these guys that have no real future with the team.
2 PF -- Evans is small, yes, yes he is. But I think he is big enough for 2nd unit PF's, and want to see him get his minutes this year--where he's effective!
2 C-- Noone wants to see Beidrins. Jazz should just eat the contract and not try to reinvent him for a trade. I think our future would be better suited by developing Gobert now.
So this is my 10 man rotation, w/ most of minutes going to c4 and Burke.
