Really Earl is starting over Devin O well tell me how Favors does tonight and good luck
I don't think he will be starting over Devin very long, maybe a game or two, I think it's more of trying to get Harris adjusted into the system, but I'd rather just start Harris because he seems like he knows a good portion of the plays.
Devin takes less shots than Deron, which is a great thing since the FGA now goes to Kirilenko a lot more. AK47 has averaged 11 FGA since Deron is gone, +3 from his average of 8. Millsap & Jefferson FGAs increase a bit too. Kirilenko is 20-for-32 last 3 games. Millsap is shooting 53% for the season and Jefferson is at 50%.
It's better that the shots are going to those 3 guys because they take good quality shots most of the times. AK had about 7 lay-ups and dunks tonight vs Pistons.
As great as Deron was, he did took too many unnecessary shots at times, especially 3's.
Quality easy buckets >>> tough shots, floaters and unnecessary 3's

I was really impressed with Devin's passing ability tonight, it was just as good if not better than Deron.
I honestly thought on offense it was one of our best performances, but it was the complete opposite on defense, haven't really decided how good Devin's defense is with us yet.

AK shooting more is a good thing? Not really his strength.

Milsap getting more shots would be a good thing.

He was there go to guy. Obviously he would have been better off with a go to guy or two around him but he's never had that.

He doesn't have to take long-range or 3's necessary but instead take the easy high percentage shots. He had about 5 or 6 lay-ups/dunks last night in Detroit.
"It's good to be back to a winning situation, a winning tradition," Harris said. "Obviously the Utah Jazz have been winning for decades and I'm just glad to be a part of that. Like I said, I'm looking forward to making a playoff push and getting back to the playoffs."
