9 man rotation, no more

Post #1 » by **FJS** » Sun Dec 7, 2008 3:56 pm

With Boozer healthy, Sloan should only to use 9 man rotation, with some variations in specific situations.

C and PF:
Okur, Boozer, Millsap and Kirilenko

SF and SG:
Miles, Brewer, Kirilenko and Korver

PG:
Williams and Knight

Koufos only used in specific situations (Altough I like the kid)
Harpring only used if any of SF cannot play
Almond only used if any of SG cannot play
Price only used if any of PG cannot play
Collins and/or Fessenko only used if any C (Koufos included) cannot play

I agree with this, but it won't happen. Harpring will play more than he should, and so will Price.

I do hope that Koufos can get some good junk minutes, because the more he plays the better he gets.

maybe in playoffs, right now Utah cant afford more injuries by overworking the players.

Koufos should be getting minutes just to make sure Boozer and Okur aren't dead come playoff time. He works extremely hard in the game, and he seems to be effective.

All I know is that i'm sick of Sloan failing to ride the hot hand until it's too ******** late. I'm sick of yelling at Harpring and yes, even everyone's beloved Kyle Korver in the fourth quarter with the game on the line.

I think Koufos should be part of the regular rotation, he would certainly help with the rebounding problems we've been having lately.......

Koufos can play, but we don't have min for everyone.

Last game was disturbing to see to many players with a few min. because most of them were innefective.

Koufos has been pretty impressive but he's not a good rebounder. That's one part of his game that he really needs to work on, he has the height and the speed but needs to work on his positioning.

Even if that was true, the only way he's going to get better is by being out on the court....... I just don't see how Sloan can't find 10-15 regular minutes for him per game, especially with Boozer being out........

- Koufos should play some minutes released from Boozer/Okur. This would help the kid to develope enogh coming playoff time, and would help Boozer and Okur to rest a little bit more for postseason.
- I'm on the Harpring's side: if his body allows him we still need him; I know he's not a shining star, but the Jazz still need his grit

I would love to see Harpring come in and play well because he offers something few others on the team do and that's in your face toughness.

Unfortunately for Harpring, that toughness only lasts a few seconds until the man he is defending blows by him with the dribble.

I want to see the Jazz make a trade for a mean player.
