According to Jerry Sloan... 

Post#1 » by Pappyman » Mon Feb 23, 2009 7:34 am

Boozer will be in the starting lineup against Atlanta tonight. I assume that this will be the depth chart:
PG: Deron Williams, Brevin Knight, Ronnie Price
SG: C.J. Miles (Ronnie Brewer)*, Kyle Korver, Morris Almond
SF: Ronnie Brewer* (C.J. Miles), Matt Harpring, Morris Almond
PF: Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko**, Paul Millsap
C: Mehmet Okur, Paul Millsap**, Jarron Collins

* Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Miles are interchangeable and the shooting guard/small forward positions. Since both players start, I simply placed them at the position that reflects their abilities the most.
** I realize that Andrei Kirilenko is not a power forward and that Paul Millsap is not a center. It is likely, however, that when these two players come into the game, they will replace the player that is listed ahead of them in the depth chart. The two-deep depth chart simply is a reflection of said team's ten best players. It does not have to necessarily reflect the positions that the ten best players on a team play. For example, the Jazz almost always have one starting player on the floor while the primary reserves are playing. Sloan himself also stated that Carlos Boozer and Paul Millsap will probably be on the floor together to play against teams that use smaller/quicker power forward/center combinations. Millsap would play as the power forward and Boozer as the center in this situation.

Hmm, I know he has a rule for not letting injuries take away players from starting, but I don't like the idea of throwing off the teams feel knowing that Boozer is only going to be playing 10-15 minutes tomorrow anyways, but hey, I am happy as hell to have him back.

STARTING AT POWER FORWARD, NUMBER 5 STANDING 6-9 FROM DUKE..........CARLOS BOOOOOZER!

I'm going to tonights game and for one am stoked to see Booz back in the lineup. Before his injury he was playing IMO the best ball of his career (maybe excluding the 07 playoffs) with 21 points and 11 rebounds a game. This teams 2nd unit just got that much better now that we have our full rotation and Millsap can settle into the back up roll. I for one think Paul will get the majority of the minutes until Boozer get going and look for the Jazz to pick up the pace with fresh legs from our best post player.

Lets go Jazz! Show everyone who the real Kings of the Northwest Division are!
