Starting at 32:00 they start talking about Utah. Not a long talk or anything, but Arnovitz thinks we were smart for not doing anything in FA. Lowe kind of agrees, but more tempered.

Hood already broke out... last season in April he had a string of games where he scored 17, 25, 20, 18, 21 (he also had an amazing 8 assists in this game). He's merely going to build on it.

been in the hood for a while now.

some people on JFC think we'll see very little of this combination of players on the floor at the same time.

I think we will see a lot of Exum/Burks/Hood/Hayward/Gobert or Favors.

Until we have a backup C, Favors will slide to the C spot, Hayward to PF, etc.

How many minutes has Hayward played at PF in his career? What makes people think this is going to change?

I see Hayward playing 5 mins a night at PF more than Burks playing PG.

why?

why?

Because the return of Burks.

Love the trio of Hood/Burks/Hayward. All 3 can handle the ball and create their own shot, and all 3 can shoot from 3 at a above 35 %. Spot minutes from Ingles rounds it out pretty well also. Jazz got the steal of the late first round 2 years in a row.

Yep. And you do not need a "point guard" in this lineup.

I don't know why, but I see Ingles more likely to get PF minutes than Hayward. I know this doesn't solve getting the Burke/Hood/Hayward on the court at the same time, but it does get Ingles a few more minutes while the other 3 take most of the time at the 2/3.

I should have been more clear, I love the ROTATION of Hood/Burks/Hayward at the wing positions. I'm not for or against the 3 playing together. I doubt it happens that often though.
