What to you all make of the fact that Corbin has still yet to name a captain (or, at least I think)?

Also, is this important?
 
Do they need one? Can't they all just continue playing like they are the captain/leader? Seems to be the type of attitude/energy the vets are bringing. I bet it's crossed the minds of Raja/Bell/Jefferson/Harris/Millsap at one point in time that they are/should step up and be the leader of the team. At this point it could be dangerous to the chemistry to name a captain.

Obviously, I'm new to all this, but whilst the team are doing well as they are what is the point in appointing a captain? The jazz seem to be winning via having a deep roster, not one or two stars (we ain't the Heat).

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
 
I do not think it really matters. However if a captain has to be named they need to give it to Millsap and Watson.
 
Millsap has given no indicaiton of having the prsonality to be a lone captain. Perhaps one of a group of captains.

Bell is most likely.
 
They've done fine without one. And I think it would be kind of cool if they didn't. The Utah Jazz are about team first and foremost, not having a captain kind of reinforces that idea.

Also worth noting, there is not a lead assistant to Corbin. Hornacek, Lowe, and Layden are all assistants that have equal footing and the staff as a whole works as a unit.

But yeah, if there's a captain, Millsap is it, no question. Whether that's made official or not is really not important.
 
I'd give it to Al Jefferson.

I have no basis for this; but just by watching him he seems like the most approachable player on the team. On the court and on the bench he seems to do a lot of talking to the younger guys.

Millsap is more the strong silent type
Forget Bell - he's thrown The Jazz under the bus with the media twice in the past

Not having one at all is a viable option too.
 
I think Paul Millsap should be captain. He's a warrior on the court and I haven't read anything bad about him off of it, or as a teammate. He's certainly my family's favorite player on the Jazz!
