Utah Jazz: Tyrone Corbin finding ways to get everyone on the floor--Deseret News
The general manager was referring to Utah's 21-year-and-under club of Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter and Alec Burks.
...
The versatile Hayward, who turns 22 next week, has flourished at times since coming off the bench and plays more minutes (27:32) than everybody but Millsap (31:24) and Jefferson (32:58).
...
Hayward (26 points) and Burks (15 points) provided a nice offensive punch off the bench Thursday to help lift the Jazz over Minnesota in overtime.

"I'm glad that we don't have to play Monta (Ellis) again. He's kind of killed us in both games. But they're a tough group; they've got some talented scorers, and they're right there in the (playoff) race with us," Jazz swingman Gordon Hayward said. "We need these games, we need them for sure, so we need to come out with another focused effort."

The move is a bit surprising considering Gordon Hayward started for the first 36 games and then returned recently to the first five when Bell was unable to go due to an injury.
"We kind of like what we get with that second group with (Hayward)," Corbin said. "We can put the ball in his hands a little bit and let C.J. take up the slack with the starting group."
Hayward is coming off of a season-high scoring performance in which he poured in 26 points off the bench in the Jazz's 111-105 overtime win Thursday against Minnesota.

FOR STARTERS: Favors has replaced Jefferson in the previous games the usual starting center has missed, so that was no surprise to see the second-year big open the game. Jefferson made the most of his start with career-highs of 23 points and 17 rebounds, too.
However, some eyebrows might've been raised to see Miles inserted into the starting lineup instead of Gordon Hayward to replace Bell.
Corbin wanted to add some veteran experience and keep the second unit mostly intact, so he gave Miles his first start of the season. Miles missed Thursday's game because of allergies.

And while C.J. Miles didn't do much (4 points, 3 steals and an assist in 17-plus minutes) filling in for injured starting shooting guard Raja Bell, who's been plagued by a strained left adductor muscle, Gordon Hayward continued his sparkplug role off the bench.
Hayward, a second-year swingman who was Utah's lottery pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, wound up with 12 points and six rebounds. He slammed down a coast-to-coast dunk that tied the game at 82 — and brought a roaring crowd to its feet — late in regulation, and he hit a huge jumper that gave Utah a 91-87 lead early in overtime.
Utah Jazz: Derrick Favors comes of age in OT win--Deseret News
Paul Millsap had 13 points and 12 rebounds. Harris and Gordon Hayward each chipped in with 12 points. Jamaal Tinsley came off the bench to provide a nice offensive punch with 13 points, while rookie Enes Kanter grabbed a baker's dozen worth of boards as Utah outrebounded Golden State 65-40.
...
Hayward made the back-to-back plays of the game from a highlight standpoint when he blocked a shot on one end and then hammered down a two-handed slam on the other end to tie it at 82-82.
...
"He had a great game," Hayward said. "I don't want to blow it up because I think it could be an every day thing for him. He's that good. We need another one of those tomorrow."
