The author's views are entirely his or her own and may not reflect the views of the Utah Jazz.

I understand a bit why Favors and Kanter don’t play more; they have two really good starters at those positions. The Burks thing slays me though; Raja Bell is a helpful defender but he’d need to be Bruce Bowen to justify his total lack of production in any other category. I can’t believe I live in a world in which both he and Rasual Butler are starting in the NBA.

   These youngsters will get more time as they learn. But yes Burks and Evans should get more time..

   Common guys theire YOUNG players, who will play at least 10 12 years more, I don´t like Bell as starter even, but he´s veteran who knows basketball non game bull!@#$%, so he is more intimidant for now. And I dont wan´t to say that I can´t agree with Alec starter idea, but whatever…

   John, there is no question in my mind that Raja Bell should not be starting for the Utah Jazz. It’s simply wasted minutes, wasted production/stunting the development of younger players. Hayward should be starting at the 2 spot where he will flourish. Burks should be backing him up/Harris at PG. How long is it going to take this coaching staff to figure out the obvious. Yes, I’m stunned too! Just my take.
