Jefferson with more minutes than burks is just plain stupid.
I remember when everyone was saying that it doesnt matter if a player starts or comes off the bench.... it does.
When you start, you are basically guaranteed a certain amount of minutes regardless of how you play.
Bench minutes get adjusted based on performance usually..... so the minutes are alot more inconsistent
It could be worse.
Fantastic!
It Could Be Worse should be the slogan for the season lol
How many minutes is a starter guaranteed under Corbin? Did you check? Are you just assuming this is a big deal based on absolutely nothing?I remember when everyone was saying that it doesnt matter if a player starts or comes off the bench.... it does.

You can not find an NBA team/coach that has done anything remotely close to that in the history of the league. Holy ****.I want to see hay, burks and burke playing 40 mins a night, w/ kanter and favors playing 36 each

The Jazz have played 24 games since Trey and Marvin entered the starting lineup, and 19 with a starting lineup of Trey-Gordo-RJ-Marv-Favors.
In those 24 games:
A bench player got more minutes than at least 1 starter in 17 games.
A starter played 24 minutes or less (from ESPN boxscores...so these minutes are rounded) in 14 games.
A starter played 18 minutes or less in 4 games (low of 12 minutes).
A bench player played 30 or more minutes in 9 games.
A bench player played 32 or more minutes in 5 games (high of 37 minutes).
If you add the time elapsed before the first substitution in both the first and third quarters (not due to fouls), the sum is less than 14 minutes in 13 games (low of 7:07).
In those 19 games (with the Trey-Gordo-RJ-Marv-Favors starting lineup):
A bench player got more minutes than at least 1 starter in 14 games.
A starter played 24 minutes or less (from ESPN boxscores...so these minutes are rounded) in 12 games.
A starter played 18 minutes or less in 3 games (low of 12 minutes).
A bench player played 30 or more minutes in 8 games.
A bench player played 32 or more minutes in 4 games (high of 34).
If you add the time elapsed before the first substitution in both the first and third quarters (not due to fouls), the sum is less than 14 minutes in 13 games (low of 8:17).
It's clear that Corbin has no problem playing a starter less than 20 minutes or a bench player more than 30. IF the Jazz draft one of the top 3/4s in the upcoming draft, and that player makes sense in the starting lineup, at least 1 of Burke, Burks, Hayward, Favors or Kanter will have to come off the bench.
Bringing 2 of the Jazz's 5 young players off the bench allows ALL 5 of them ample opportunity with the ball in their hands. Burks has also been given the opportunity to play with starters to close many games, playing quite well off-ball. In recent games, as Kanter has started to look more comfortable and confident, Corbin has been playing Favors and Kanter together for stretches in the 4th quarter.
How many times do these basic FACTS need to be repeated? Are you really this ****ing willfully ignorant/stupid?
You can not find an NBA team/coach that has done anything remotely close to that in the history of the league. Holy ****.
I see you like to complicate the obvious. Playing any player who isn't named Hayward, Favors, Kanter, Burke, Burks, or Gobert for extended minutes takes away from the minutes these players could play and learn on the court and in high pressure action.
All of these players have done enough waiting and earning their time. They're young, they could play more than they're playing. Their success helps the future, their failure helps the future.
Did you read my post?...The starters are basically guaranteed 16 minutes no matter what...
Did you read my post?
The average sum of time elapsed before the first sub in the first and third quarters (not due to foul trouble) with the regular starting lineup this season has been almost exactly 14 minutes. That's biased upward (because some of the substitutions due to fouls would have occurred without fouls before the second substitution), so 13 minutes guaranteed for starters under Corbin is roughly the right approximation. That leaves as much as 35 minutes for bench players. There are only 32 players who have averaged 35+ minutes per game this season (basically, one per team), and Gordo is one of them.Honestly... not really
Sorry it was too long and im working so i didnt have time.
I'm sorry, I live in reality, not some video game fantasy, where I know more than every professional coach that has ever lived, and people (read: Players) don't respond to incentives AND can learn anything at any pace at any point in time.I see you like to complicate the obvious.
