時間Sun Sep 30 00:40:22 2012
ADDITIONS:
Brian Butch (Bakersfield Jam), Randy Foye (LA Clippers), Trey Gilder (Cañ
eros de La Romana), Darnell Jackson (Donetsk), Kevin Murphy (Tennessee Tech),
Chris Quinn (Khimki Moscow), Maurice Williams (LA Clippers) and Marvin
Williams (Atlanta).
SUBTRACTIONS:
Blake Ahearn (Indiana), Devin Harris (Atlanta) and CJ Miles (Cleveland).
STRENGTHS:
Fine combination of veterans and young guns ... Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap
form a very solid big man duo that will not awe you with the athletic play
but will get the work done with skill or
hustle ... Very promising young
talent, especially with Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors, who look like
potential big-time NBA players ... If they keep progressing this year, Utah
becomes a much more
dangerous club ... Nice frontcourt depth with the
athletic and talented Favors and Marvin Williams coming off the bench ...
Great athleticism at the forward spots ... Not a big drop-off talent-wise
from starters to reserves ... Very good rebounding ... As it's custom in
Utah, the Jazz will play hard and unselfish ... They are always a tough team
to beat
in Salt Lake City.
WEAKNESSES:
The backcourt ... In a league chock full of star power at the guard
positions, the Jazz will have to make do with the likes of Maurice Williams,
Alec Burks, Randy Foye or Earl Watson ... Not bad players, but really very
far away from what other teams have at those spots ... Utah ranked 27th in
three-point shooting percentage last season ... Expect some progress there
with the addition of the Williamses and Foye, but still not a scary squad
from deep range ... Both starting big men are undersized ... Are the Jazz
getting anything out of lottery pick Enes Kanter at center this season?
PROJECTION:
4th in the Northwest Division /
9th in the Western Conference
PROJECTED STARTERS
PG: Maurice Williams
Returns to Utah eight years later. Remains a good scorer, but really not the
best at running a team's offense.
SG: Alec Burks
Long and athletic. Showed some promise in his rookie year with the Jazz. Will
compete for playing time with Randy Foye.
SF: Gordon Hayward
Quite a combination of athleticism, skills and smarts. Will be a more
featured player on Utah's offense this season.
PF: Paul Millsap
The prototypical undersized power forward that routinely outplays competition
thanks to hustle and a great skillset.
C: Al Jefferson
Outstanding footwork. Makes up for the lack of athleticism with finesse.
How's the conditioning going to be this year?
Sixth: Derrick Favors
Star potential. Nearly averaged a double-double in the playoffs. Has already
asked for more playing time and will likely get it.
