Shooting guard starter?

OAKLAND, Calif. — Now that Ronnie Brewer is a Memphis Grizzly, traded away on Thursday, who will start at shooting guard for the Jazz the rest of the season?
There are a myriad of possibilities …
Rookie Wesley Matthews can step in, backed up by Kyle Korver, with C.J. Miles still backing up Andrei Kirilenko at small forward.
Starting Korver is a possibility; that’s something the Jazz toyed with in last season’s playoff series with the Los Angeles Lakers, and it’s how the Jazz have finished some games recently, but coach Jerry Sloan seems to like Korver more coming off the bench.
Starting Miles, a former starter at small forward, at the 2 can’t be totally ruled out either.
Using combo guard and backup point Ronnie Price next to starting point Deron Williams is an option too, and is something Sloan has done at times this season, but that leaves the Jazz awfully small and seems rather unlikely.
Utah can also go big, using starting small forward Kirilenko at shooting guard and inserting backup power forward Paul Millsap into the starting lineup at small forward along with fellow bigs Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur. But then the Jazz would have all of their bigs on the floor at the same time, proving problematic against speedier teams, and in the case of foul trouble that could catch up with them in the late going of some tightly called games.
Or if Sloan really wanted to shake things up, he could go with … (fill in the blank, either Matthews or Miles or Korver) … at shooting guard while keeping Kirilenko at small forward, going with Millsap and Boozer up front, and bring longtime starting center and recently struggling Okur off the bench. But that might too radical of a new look for a team that doesn’t like change anyway, and demoting a one-time All-Star to the bench at such a critical point in the season could really disrupt a club that’s had winning ways of late.
All of which makes starting Matthews in Brewer’s old spot as, seemingly, the likeliest possibility.
The Jazz are 13-6 with Matthews starting this season, as opposed to 4-6 when Miles starts; that’s a .684 winning percentage with Matthews as a starter, better even than their .641 throughout this season. Matthews is the only Jazz player who has started at shooting guard besides Brewer this season. And if it wasn’t for the unexpected emergence of the undrafted rookie out of Marquette, Brewer probably would never have been traded in the first place.
