Exactly.


I think his minutes are about right at the moment. 15-20 is perfect.


I like the idea of Burks playing, but whether he deserves it or not is not clear in my mind. He's terrible defensively and I'm not sure he's capable of creating quality shots yet.

Now, I would rather play 4-on-5 than have Raja on the floor, so I guess I'm in favor of Burks anyway. But I don't want him playing much until he's earned it. I'm OK with the rotations for now. I think that Favors should never play less than 25 minutes, though.

I understand wanting Burks to earn his minutes, but two months from now I'd much rather be in a position where I've seen Burks being forced to try to play NBA level defense than having seen CJ and Bell proving that neither can play NBA level offense. (Or defense for that matter)

Seriously I think the Jazz are the only team that currently has two non-rotation guys getting serious rotation minutes at the same position on one team.
