Yes, like going back to being an assistant coach.
I think Millsap and Favors should start right now. AJ is not going to be with the team in two years. His style of play does not fit the athletic running team the Jazz should be. However, to say Kanter or any rookie needs earn their minutes is true but it should also be true for veterans. Right? Why does Bell, CJ, Harris etc. get playing time when they haven't proven they deserve it. The fact that the Jazz have depth should make it easier to say if you do hustle or work your butt off I will play someone else. There is no excuse for laziness on a team that has a lot of talent.
Burks should not be sitting on the bench the whole game neither should Favors be automatically taken out when he gets two fouls. Let the young guys get 20-25 minutes or more if they deserve it. I think Ty is making a big mistake not deciding on a captain (Millsap is my pick). Then he should have chosen a rotation that is focused on developing the young guys. KOC should look at trade a few of our assets that won't be here in two or three years. This season is about the future and not about the vets. The Jazz are already losing big with the veterans getting the majority of minutes so why not play the rookies/sophmores so they can develop and to evaluate if they can play in this league.

The thing is, deep rotation should be normally an advantage, especially in such a compressed schedule, but it seemd like a disadvantage for us in the last 2 games. Getting everyone almost same mins, and sharing the roles equally among every single player in the roster make us look like a practise team in preseason, not a team competing in nba. We should make roles clear, and if needed, we should put a few players in a package and get 1 very good player in return just to decrease the depth. It is enough to have 10 average players, the rest we can provide from d league teams.
We don't have a Durrant. But we would have one of the best Benches in the NBA, with Jefferson, Bell, Miles, Howard, Watson coming up. Seattle/OKC never had that. We have a 10+ man rotation here.
And yeah, offensively Kanter's questionable, but I'm not ready to give up on the kid. Minutes are needed to tell the whole story with him. I kinda wish we could trade for KG's final year to teach Kanter the Nastier parts of the inside game.
Kanter looks good. He runs the floor hard, hustles and puts forth heart and effort. Good rebounder and his D is better than I thought it would be. I have seen him pull some moves on the offensive end that were nice. He will calm down a little with time and those shots will start falling. Like the two missed layups in a row he had during the Laker game That will start going in.

From what I've seen, and 'Guitaro' pointed this out in another thread, Tinsley looks better at PG so far in our offense than either Harris or Watson. Whether it's Burks or Hayward at SG, I'm OK. Howard should be our SF. Kanter and Millsap together would be interesting, with Favors and Jefferson off the bench. I have little doubt Favors will be a legit starter soon; not sure he's ready quite yet, though. Jefferson should come around, but so far he's struggled. Kanter is too good a rebounder to not be playing more minutes...

So is it a coaches job to design an offense to fit his players or get his players to conform to his offense? It seems that Harris can't/won't get on board with the offense. I became a fan of the Jazz because the offense has been passing and moving. I can't stand to watch teams that have 4 guys stand around and watch while one guy tries to make sports centers to ten. I hope that Corbin keeps the motion O and gets his players to buy in. I love the fact that Hayward is getting assists. Hopefully with more playing time these young guys can gel as a team and not look for the highlight real. Team ball always beats showboating.

Why?
You really think Watson, Bell, and Howard make up a good bench?
If they're good enough to start anywhere else, that's a good bench.
