So far, Corbin has opted for the safer route of going with the more established wings instead of allowing Burks to grow on the job. He did admit after Sunday's game that is up for debate.
"Always. It's a team. Everybody on this team is an asset for us and we look to use guys at different times and when you get your opportunity you want to make the most of it," Corbin said. "The guys that came in tonight I thought they made the most of their opportunity, so we'll look at it going forward."
Mo Williams' thumb injury could open up more minutes for guards in Utah, which hosts Golden State tonight at EnergySolutions Arena.
Something Burks said about Sunday's team comeback will continue to drive his personal motivation: "When you're fighting and you're working hard, things will work out your way."
Or fans will continue to clamor for the backup QB.

In my opinion it's because the Jazz have 12 players who are at a similar skill level. The starters aren't as good as most teams top 5. But the bench is much better than most teams in the league. If you started the bench, and More..
I would love to see some changes made with the line up. I think the way you play should earn you more min. If a guy is not doing his job be that even a starter shorten his min. Why not let the guys who are doing well continue to improve?
I know I'll be following the Jazz more after the football season. Looking forward to seeing Burks playing some point (especially now with Williams out) and he, Favors, Kanter and Hayward playing more minutes. Foye's scoring and Mo More..
