Hi, got some question for you fellow Jazz fans. Is Hayword starting? What type of minutes do you think he'll see? Do you think he will be as good as the last months of the season?

Do you see Jefferson playing less minutes because of a crowded frontcourt? How many minutes do you think Favors will get?

Sorry for all the questions. I am trying to prepare myself for a fantasy draft and the Jazz have some interesting pieces. Thanks!

Hayward looked pretty great last night and has skills no one else on the team has (shooting, playmaking, probably the best defender on the wing as well) so he should get around 32 minutes a night I would guess, maybe less to start the year. Could see him averaging between 12-15 points, 3-4 rebounds, 2-3 assists a game this year on very good percentages.

I would stay away from the Jazz's bigs at the beginning of the year. If Al gets his normal minutes, he should put up numbers like he did in Minnesota in 2008-2009, but the minutes situation for the frontcourt looks like it could be a mess.

For fantasy, I really like Hayward. He's slotted as the starting 3 for now and he will give you a little bit of everything. He should also have really good shooting %'s and fairly low TO #'s.

I like Jefferson a lot and I don't think his production will take any sort of a hit despite our big man depth unless he has some injury issues.

Favors should be a good late pickup since he will probably get 15+ mins. a night and should give you good rebounding and blocks. I'm guessing his playing time increases as the season wears on and possible trades could clear more PT for him.

Miles and Bell could be sleeper picks. I think both are in line for good seasons. Bell is slotted in as the starting 2 for now and he looked really good in the scrimmage. I expect him to have a much, much better year than last year. Miles could be a 6th man of the year candidate if he's finally managed to put things together.

Memo would probably be a good late utility pick since he's slotted as the starting 4 for now. He'll give you 15-18 minutes of play a game and should average decent enough numbers across the board.

Millsap.... who knows? I expect him to take the biggest hit production wise though.

Harris will be Harris. I wouldn't expect anything more than he's been doing for the last couple years.

Burks could get some burn but I'm not sure how much so it's hard to judge his fantasy value. His %'s will probably be pretty low too with some TO's.

Thanks guys. Took Hayward as my last pic based on your recommendations.
