Minutes Per Game: Vets vs. Rookies

Are you happy with the rotation that Corbin is using?

Minutes Per Game
33.2 Jefferson
31.3 Millsap
26.5 Hayward
26.1 Harris
23.7 Bell
22.3 Howard
21.7 Favors
21.1 Watson
18.4 Miles
14.1 Kanter
12.3 Burks
6.7 Evans

Remember, any minutes increased for one player means taking them away from another player.

You forgot Bell.

Whatever his minutes, its too many. Burks should get 6 more minutes a night, Bell six fewer. Otherwise, I think Corbin is bringing the young guys along smartly while relying on the vets enough to win.

Good balance to develop the rookies while not pissing off the vets.

I like the rotation although I agree completely that Bell gets too much.

Edited to include Bell.

CJ deserves more time as of late.

I'd like to see Burks get more PT. None of our swingmen have really been really good of late, give this kid some more opportunity. He's looked real good for stretches.

I suspect that if you give CJ more time you'll get the same total production out of him.

Favors, Burks, and Kanter need way more minutes

I'm so sad as a fan that Evans can't get more minutes on this team. I completely understand why, but man I love watching that kid play.

I also want the young players to get more minutes, but I am having a hard time justifying it to myself. They don't look ready. I have always been the guy who says you should play them anyway for development purposes, but I can't say that when it is so obviously clear that Millsap and Jefferson outplay them every night.

Overall, really pretty happy. Think it is time to bump Favors 2-3 and Kanter 3-4 minutes at the expense of their counterparts. Another minute or two after that in mid-March.

Pretty much this.

Having said that, I'd be happy if the Jazz traded Jefferson to force those guys to step in and grow up and learn on the fly.

+1, me too, hell yeah.

I would trade Jefferson ( plus others) for a great point guard or shooting guard.

Jefferson has played very well this year and pushed his trade value much higher. I think he can produce very well for another team, especially one with a strong Center.
