PG: Devin Harris, Brandon Knight, Earl Watson
SG: Brandon Knight, CJ Miles, Raja Bell
SF: Gordon Hayward, Chris Singleton
PF: Paul Millsap, Derrick Favors
C: Al Jefferson, Mehmet Okur, Fesenko

Personally, I don't see why we should trade Millsap when he's the most valuable player to the Jazz given the amount of money he makes (7 million). The more depth and talent on the front court the better!
 
PG: Harris, Watson
SG: Hayward, Miles, Bell
SF: Derrick Williams, Miles
PF: Favors, Millsap
C: Jefferson, Okur

Use the 12 on whatever you want. Singleton si fine with me, or Burks.

This was the other lineup that I thought would be nice except I dont think Favors should start over Millsap

Why not? Favors has legitimat size to play PF and is already head and shoulders better on the defensive end of the floor. Offensively AJ and Millsap are too much alike and that lineup was not very good. I really like his lineup is Derrick Williams can actually play SF (which I am skeptical about).
 
PG: Harris
SG: Hayward
SF: Kirilenko
PF: Jefferson
C: Okur

Bench:
Favors
Miles
Millsap
Watson
Human Pogostick
#3
#12
 
PG: Harris, Jimmer, Watson
SG: Hayward, Miles, Jimmer
SF: Williams, Miles, Millsap (I hate the idea of playing him at the 3, but sounds like he might a little bit)
PF: Favors, Millsap, Evans
C: Jefferson, Okur, Fes (I have it on good authority that he will be back)
 
PG: Harris, Watson
SG: Hayward, Miles, Bell
SF: Derrick Williams, Miles
PF: Favors, Millsap
C: Jefferson, Okur

I second this. But seeing as how Wolves will most likely pick Derrick Williams I'm gonna go with this:

PG: Harris, Jimmer
SG: Hayward, Bell
SF: Millsap, Miles
PF: Favors, Kanter
C: Jefferson, Kanter

I think Jimmer is more athletic and skilled than he's given credit for. I think his ceiling is Chauncey Billups - OK PG, but he can knock down the 3pt.

Kanter is an un-missable talent. Full stop.
 
The draft needs to happen already so I don't have to read the same line-ups every day

Kanter is an un-missable talent. Full stop.

If Jimmer could be Billups, I would draft him. He was arguably a top 3 point guard in this league when he lead the Pistons to 7 straight ECF.
 
I don't see Freddette as anything close to a Billups at his best.

Well think about it:

- He isn't a super athletic PG (ala Westbrook or Rose) who can slash / finish at the rim
- He isn't a great passer (ala Williams, Nash)
- He isn't super fast (ala Paul, Harris)
- Billups basically makes his living build around his 3pt shot - making his opponents respect the 3pt and make plays for others.
- He's a solid heady player who can run the team

Jimmer's ceiling is at least Billups IMHO.
 
PG: Harris, Knight, Watson
SG: [Free Agent (Thornton, JR Smith)], Hayward, Miles
SF: Hayward, Kirilenko, Morris
PF: Favors, Millsap, Morris
C: Jefferson, Favors, Fesenko

This is a flexible lineup that will also provide quality backups for the inevitable injuries. I think Millsap should go back to being the 6th man, he can bring reliability off the bench (something we sorely missed last year). AK comes back for cheap in a reduced role, as his new maturity should allow. I never want to see Bell again.
 
PG: Devin Harris, Earl Watson
SG Gordon Hayward, Arron Afflalo
SF Derrick Williams, Paul Millsap, Chris Singleton
PF Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap
C Derrick Favors, Mehmet Okur
 
PG: Harris/ Jimmer / Watson
SG: Affalo / Hayward
SF: Williams / Miles
PF: Favors / Millsap
C: Jefferson / Okur

Boy, are we weak at shooting guard. I don't know if KOC feels completely confident with Hayward as a 30 minute player quite yet. I sure hope KOC goes after a free agent shooting guard because I doubt we will go that direction in the draft.
 
PG: Harris, Watson, Jimmer
SG: Hayward, Miles, Bell
SF: Derrick Williams, Miles, Evans
PF: Favors, Millsap
C: Jefferson, Okur, Fes?

It's a toss-up for me between Williams and Kanter. Williams fills an immediate need and ensures that AK won't be back. If Williams, I'd also vote for re-signing Fes to a cheap deal. There's no guarantee Okur comes back from his injury.

If the Jazz get Kanter, I'd probably want Singleton at #12. Fes wouldn't return, but AK might under that scenario. Or Jazz could look to use the MLE on some other SF.
