Who is the fan favorite off the bench? We all know Harpring, Collins, and Hart are the most hated

I wouldnt consider Millsap a fan favorite. We all love his lunch pale game but your typical fan doesnt really get up and cheer for that. I really enjoy watching Ronnie Price play too, but its without a question Korver right now. He has people on the edge of their seat when he is shooting the trey, he obviously has the looks the lady fans and Monkeyfeng like and he gets the biggest pop off the bench.

I think with time Ronnie Price can be that though.

Too bad Price didn't get any time against the Nuggets. I would have to loved to see him matchup against Iverson.

Korver; he's sexy and can hit the 3 and we fans love the 3.

Price can hit the 3 and can also produce some crowd pleasing dunks as well.

Harping's my favorite bench player, and one of my top five favorite players in all of basketball. The guy comes in and busts his ass all game long, and for the most part plays really smart ball. He's not the best defender, but he is really the ONLY attitude we have on this team besides maybe Millsap.

People get all jazzed up on the 3 ball! Get it? Jazzed up?

You know he played football right? I crack myself up.

I think right now it has to be Kyle "Big Sexy" Korver. I think that Harp is actually more of a fan favorite than people think. People like his tough play and he tends to hit one or two of those little jumpers when we need em, and that gets the crowd going.

Its gotta be Korver, at least right now it is.

KY for sure.

Silky smooth.

I can't believe people voted for anybody else but the guy who is going to cause Jason Hart to be permanently stationed sitting on the bench.

Its obviously Korver right now, but these things change with the wind, so that doesn't say much.

In response to the person who said that Millsap's game doesn't translate to being a fan favorite and pumping up the crowd......wtf have you been smoking, dude?

A year ago Millsap WAS the fan favorite. Every time I talked to some random Jazz fan at the gasoline pump or in the super market, Millsap is one of the first players they mention, and his steals, blocks and general hustle is the PERFECT recipe for getting the crowd into the game.

Needless to say, I strongly disagree.

How can you hate Harpring? Hard working veteran who's all work and no fuss. He never gets into off court issues, nor does he ever play dirty in the sense of a real cheap shot or w/e. Just good, clean, but hard nosed basketball. If our lineup played as hard as Harpring every night, we'd be the best team in the league.

I love Harpring's attitude, toughness and hustle and think that he is a very solid reserve. However, I think that people are split on Harpring because he doesn't have an exciting game, and, more importantly, because Sloan loves him and often uses him too much and/or incorrectly. This year, though, it seems like Harpring's role has been mostly just right and I'm liking his contributions more than I have in the last year or two. Not as much as those of Korver or Millsap though. I also think Price, with his athleticism, scoring ability and pestering defense is a breath of fresh air after watching the steaming pile of crap that is Jason Hart for three months.

Millsap is my favorite. But the crowd at the game last night went nuts for Korver by far.

KK.

In this short list with three players, Kover, for sure.

My favorite is Harpring, no question about it.

still manslap for me. im never worried about anything when he comes in. not discounting the other 2 by any means.

Kyle 'cause he's dreamy. At least thats what I hear from every girl (and some guys) who watch the Jazz.
