Marvin is also clearly a better man defender. I love Carroll's hustle, but it bites the team in the *** at times when he isn't disciplined in his man defense.
Anyone think the Jazz aren't playing DeMarre so they can re-sign him on the cheap?

I know how crazy this topic is, guys. It's just... I dunno.
It's just really unfortunate that the cold hard truth is that Marvin Williams won his spot in the rotation simply because he's been in the league longer. DeMarre, a good player that Utah could really use going forward, is being completely wasted, scorned, and pushed away by a coach who we're hoping gets fired.
I prefer my nonsensical conspiracy theory, tbh.
I just hope DeMarre gets a few more minutes in before the season ends, you know, as a proper goodbye.

Yes, there is no other reason for Corbin not to play Carroll.
...Well, it's either, we're trying to hide Carroll so he doesn't get a huge 6y/$80Million contract from Portland... OR Greg Miller is a baby and told Ty that he's spending more on his Marvin Williams toy than his DeMarre Carroll toy so he wants to see his more expensive toy play more than his cheaper/better toy (this would also explain Al/Millsap over Favors/Kanter)

Carrol is pretty bad if he is guarding a functional scorer.

Yet another falsehood from kennykyle.
Carroll gambles more than Marvin. True.
Carroll is a solid defender, and, depending on specific personnel, can guard 1 - 3. True.
I think it's a combination of things....
1) we're showcasing Marvin for a potential trade
2) we don't really care if we make the playoffs, despite what Matt Harpring says

Carroll does gamble a lot, but he is what Millsap used to be.
Marvin is the guy, and always has been.
He's like the reincarnation of Bryon Russell from 1998, and the Jazz will absolutely NEED Marvin Williams moving forward.
It's hard to not see Carroll play though, just like it's hard to see Evans not play.
Both have played well when their number was called....
Although at least Evans has a locked contract.

One of the things I disliked about Jerry was that he consistently went with his best halfcourt offense players, no matter how terrible they were at everything else. For all his talk of hustle, heart and defense, he had no patience for players who weren't offensively gifted. The same is true of Corbin, which is why he loves Al, Marvin and Randy, even though there are players whose overall positive impact is greater.
