One of the consistent things I've heard from Locke is that Utah isn't doing things with the sole focus of winning games but are trying to develop a system and way of playing around Lauri.
That looks like it means if you can't play the way Hardy wants, you are going to have a bit of a minutes cap.
To me that also means no one on the team is really favored like that outside of Lauri and Keyonte. We are developing the team around Lauri and Keyonte is getting the focus of future development. Guys like Sexton, while their talent and ability has been better utilized/appreciated as the season has gone on, aren't priorities.
I'm sure they want Walker to be there as well, but he came into the season without an ounce of offensive improvement.
