ESPN Daily Dime: West Previews - Utah Jazz

[RonnieBrewer (Ronnie Brewer)]

Where will the Utah Jazz finish in the Northwest Division and the Western
Conference? Get 10 takes from ESPN's NBA experts.

Marc Stein
Stockton and Malone were so durable that you have to wonder: Is it all evening
out now? Jerry Sloan has playoff talent but will have an unfathomable streak
of four straight non-playoff seasons if AK-47 (Andrei Kirilenko), Carlos Boozer
and Co. can't stay healthy again.
DIVISION RANK: 2 | CONFERENCE RANK: 10

Chris Sheridan
In his 19th season with the Jazz, Jerry Sloan will finally win Coach of the
Year. He has the right mix of veterans -- if they stay healthy -- and hungry
youngsters to hang with Chicago for NBA's most improved team.
DIVISION RANK: 1 | CONFERENCE RANK: 4

Jim O'Brien
Kirilenko and Boozer, if healthy, will do wonders for the Jazz's chances, and
Deron Williams should be much improved in his second season. They execute and
rebound, and they'll challenge the Nuggets for the division crown.
DIVISION RANK: 2 | CONFERENCE RANK: 9

Tim Legler
This team defends, shares the ball and has balance offensively, with seven
guys capable of getting 20 points on any given night -- Williams, Kirilenko,
Boozer, Gordon Giricek, Mehmet Okur, Matt Harpring, and Derek Fisher.
DIVISION RANK: 1 | CONFERENCE RANK: 4

Scoop Jackson
Giricek will open it up from 3 and AK-47 will do his All-Star thing and Dee
Brown and Williams are together again, but until Boozer decides he wants to
seriously play ball, the Jazz will find another kind of blue.
DIVISION RANK: 2 | CONFERENCE RANK: 10

John Hollinger
The Jazz's potentially awesome frontcourt has rarely played together, but if
Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko and Mehmet Okur manage 200 games between them
then this team is playoff-bound. The upgraded backcourt (Derek Fisher and
Ronnie Brewer) should also pay dividends.
DIVISION RANK: 2 | CONFERENCE RANK: 7

Chad Ford
Now that Kirilenko and Boozer are healthy and Deron Williams has a full
season under his belt at the point, expect Jerry Sloan to have the Jazz back
in the playoffs for the first time in a while.
DIVISION RANK: 2 | CONFERENCE RANK: 7

Ric Bucher 
The talent suggests they could win the division if Denver implodes, but I'm
not buying. I don't see enough shooters or a transition game. They will be
efficient in what they do, however.
DIVISION RANK: 2 | CONFERENCE RANK: 10

Chris Broussard
If completely healthy, the Jazz could take the division crown from volatile
Denver. But Kirilenko, the key, is already having back problems, and it's
hard to believe Boozer won't go gimpy at some point.
DIVISION RANK: 2 | CONFERENCE RANK: 9

Greg Anthony
Can Boozer play the whole season? Who's going to play shooting guard? Can
Okur have another great season? Regardless, I don't see this being a playoff
team.
DIVISION RANK: 4 | CONFERENCE RANK: 14

Average ranks
DIVISION: 2.0
CONFERENCE: 8.4
