Please change the lineup

Enes and Favors struggle to score. The bench needs a scoring boost. I suppose it would hurt the feelings of our starting front line to come off the bench but that's what we need. I would like to see Favors start at center.

Last night the Jazz bench shoots 4-19, barely 20%. With those numbers there is no surprise at the score.

You're ignoring the fact that half of our bench was in the starting lineup last game.

we are one of the better scoing benches in the league. If you want to change the lineup bc our starters are starting the game slow then that might make sense but our bench has been there all year long except in GSW game.

If Millsap and Al play at all times with the young bigs, the young bigs won't get touches or develop.

Favors and Kanter do struggle to score at times, but I think the bench is fine as long as there's a point guard to run it. I feel like that was a pretty huge part of the problem last game. The offense was a mess when Tinsley wasn't in. I would love to see Favors start over Jefferson, but my reasoning for that would have more to do with the long term than the short term.

I don't think so. When Derrick and Favors are in the game, wings don't use to pass them.
Think about Derrick. In the 2 games Al have not played and he has played with Paul Millsap he has posted great stats:

Vs Philly 20 points & 11
Vs Raptors 16 % 12.

He don't have the pressure. The pressure is on Paul and the attetion is on Paul. Right now Derrick or Kanter can develop their play better with another guy getting all the attention.

Tonight they did just fine. I think I am ok with them both on the bench this year. They are slowly starting to realize how to play off each other which will be valuable down the line.

I'm of the opinion that the more time those two spend together on the court, the better. If they are truly the future of this franchise, they will grow closer in many ways from playing together. It's better that way for the long run.

Hadn't thought of it like that. Good point.
