No player reaction to Ty Corbin?

That's not true. He played a lot more games when he wasn't completely healthy. Of course, you can't determine that by stats.

Everyone played hurt at times.

And the young guys started to get more minutes towards the end of the season.

Four whole games. That doesn't turn around the averages significantly.

There also were games when Hayward was out and Burks got a lot of minutes. But as soon as Hayward came back, Burks minutes diminished.

Same for Williams, he'd get more minutes when Kanter was out.

And this was after a string of 20 plus games. However you factor the exact stat of minutes, Burks and Kanter were still playing behind Marvin and RJ,

They came off the bench, but Burks played more than Jefferson, and Kanter more than Williams. They also were able to develop their games better by coming off the bench. Because Corbin like veterans.

who should've gotten even less minutes so that Gobert and others could get some time. So, just because you can point to a stat that shows guys got a couple of minutes more per game, it doesn't tell the whole story.

We understand that the only whole story you will accept is the one that fits your pre-determined narrative. When you have to go to Gobert playing more minutes than Williams, that's in pretty deep.
 
All the players said in their exit interviews that Ty was a "nice guy". That's exactly what all the hot cheerleaders said about me in high school, but that didn't mean they wanted to be my girl friend.
 
Number 7 in minutes? You must mean total minutes. He was out quite a bit as well as injured. But if you just count the games he played when he was healthy, he was probably second to Hayward.
How many times are you going to post this nonsense?
 
Because Corbin plays the veterans more than youngsters, of course.
There's no use in pointing any of this out. Posters on this site have decided that anything less than ALL the young players being in the top 20 in minutes in the NBA, playing almost all of their minutes together, is a travesty. Not going to dig up my post, but this year's Jazz was one of 2 or 3 teams (IIRC) in the last 4 or 5 decades to have 5 players under 24 average 10+ field goal attempts per game.

All 5 young dudes were in the top 106 in minutes played in the NBA, and all got ample opportunity with the ball in their hands. Corbin did an exceptional job with the young players this season.

And you've offered exactly nothing to support your garbage. All the information you're talking about is readily available.
 
but seriously the silence speaks volumes. So do the player exit interviews when asked about Corbin. Their positive remarks seemed insincere or forced at best. Especially Favors.

People seem to hear what they want to hear. In any case, I know it's hard to believe but Twitter isn't the only form of communication available to players.
