2012-13 roster (and minutes)

[UTJazzFan_Echo1]

PG- Mo Williams (30), Randy Foye (15), Jamal Tinsley (3), Earl Watson
SG- Hayward (20), Burks (20), Randy Foye (8), Mo Williams, Murphy
SF- Marvin Williams (25), Hayward (15), Millsap (8), Carroll, Evans, Murphy
PF- Favors (20), Millsap (20) Jeremy Evans (8)
C- Al Jefferson (30), Kanter (10), Favors (8)

I think that Burks will eventually earn more playing time at the backup point guard spot. Ideally you could play him and Foye alongside of each other and split the PG duties between the two. Same thing when Mo and Hayward are on the floor together. Both can switch between running the point or playing SG.

Millsap or Jefferson need to be traded if we ever want to get Kanter substantial minutes. Evans is just too productive to keep off the floor entirely. He really should be getting about 10-15 minutes a game with the rate at which he produces... Kanter is going to need to find a way to give us enough that it makes it worth our while to put him on the floor for an extra 8 minutes instead of Evans. Even then though, Evans deserves to get some playing time... one way or another, Sap or Al has to go.

PG - Mo Williams(28), Foye(11), Burks(5), Tinsley(3)
SG- Hayward(20), Burks(18), Foye(11)
SF- Marvin Williams(24),Millsap(12), Hayward(10), Carroll(2)
PF- Favors(26), Millsap(17), Evans(5)
C- Jefferson(28), Kanter(14), Favors(6)

Foye splits his time between PG/SG and I give Burks some time at PG.
Millsap get's some time as a SF while Favors takes on more minutes as a PF/C.
I can't find more minutes for Kanter unless big al or paul is traded.

Totals:
Favors(32), Hayward(30), Millsap(29), Mo Williams(28), Jefferson(28), Marvin Williams(24), Burks(23),Foye(22), Kanter(14), Evans(5), Tinsley(3), Carroll(2)

You must really like Foye...

Yea, I do, but I think the Jazz need his game more than Hayward's. I also think he is at this point better than Hayward with shooting.

With Marvin getting some more action than he ever got with the ball hogs in Atlanta, he will be slashing in the middle an bit more, thus they still need the two outside shooter to spread the offense which will be Mo and Foye. Harward just didn't pull the defender out last year because of the lack of respect they were giving him.

Maybe I'm a bit optimistic but yea, the Jazz are going to be good...very good this year. (It's too bad I think the west will dominate around the 3-8 overall, very good conference this year. Miami, NJ, Chicago)

I also should add that if the Jazz do make another move I think it will come from cutting Watson or Tinsley.
