Utah Jazz (41-41)

2006/2007 SEASON ROSTER: 略..

ADDITIONS: (加入)
Rafael Araujo (Toronto), Ronnie Brewer (Arkansas), Dee Brown (Illinois),
Derek Fisher (Golden State) and Paul Millsap (Louisiana Tech).

SUBTRACTIONS: (損失)
Devin Brown (Golden State), Kris Humphries (Toronto), Keith McLeod (Golden
State), Greg Ostertag (retired), Andre Owens (Golden State) and Robert Whaley
(Toronto).

STRENGTHS: 
Utah has one of the best forward combos in the league with Andrei Kirilenko
and Carlos Boozer ... 猶他擁有聯盟最好的前鋒搭檔之一: AK和小布點
AK is a triple-double threat every time he steps on the court ...
只要AK上場, 就有可能出現大三元
Boozer always puts up numbers ... 布瑟總是能有數據上的表現
Excellent rebounding team ... 是個極佳的籃板隊伍
Mehmet Okur is a matchup problem for opposing squads with his inside-outside
game ...         歐酷"硬塞凹塞"的能力造成對手防守上的麻煩
Unlike last year, they have a pretty reliable backup for Deron Williams in
Derek Fisher ... 和去年相比, Deron有了可信賴的替補: 漁夫
There's no room for selfishness with a coach like Jerry Sloan.
有Jerry Sloan的地方, 就不允許耍任性

WEAKNESSES: 
They are just no match in terms of athleticism for most NBA teams ...
在體能方面, 他們不是聯盟大多數球隊的對手
Kirilenko is probably the only rotation player that excels as an athlete ...
AK也許是輪替陣容中唯一在體能方面能和對手抗衡的
Big hole at the shooting guard position ... 得分後衛上有個大洞
Gordan Giricek is the lone pure SG on the team and he's no starter-type talent
... 疾里塞克是隊上唯一的純SG, 但他的天份不足以擔任先發
Overall, backcourt play may be an issue ... 總的來說, 後場可能有些問題
Deron Williams could be an outstanding player one day, but it's still too
early to expect great things for him ... D-Will有天會很出色, 但現在仍言之過早
Three-point shooting was terrible last season ... 上個球季的三分球很可怕
Will that change this year? ... 今年的三分能有所加強嗎?
Offensively, who's the go-to guy? ... 進攻時, 誰是go-to人
Kirilenko is the only great shot blocker in Utah ... AK是猶他唯一的封蓋者
Boozer and Okur are not very intimidating presences in the paint ...
布瑟和歐酷在禁區內沒啥嚇阻力
AK's durability is a concern ... When he's out, Utah can really struggle
defensively. AK的持久度值得關心, 當他不在場上, 猶他的防守陷入困境

PROJECTION: 4th in the Northwest Division / 11th in the Western Conference
            西北組第四                    / 西區第拾壹

PROJECTED STARTERS
Point guard - Deron Williams
Struggled a little bit in his rookie season, but finished strong. Will have
to prove if those Jason Kidd comparisons hold some water.
菜鳥球季有些不順遂, 但開低走高。將證明那些拿他和小孩比較的人是否合理

Shooting guard - Gordan Giricek
Can really score, but he's as selfish as it gets and doesn't play much
defense. Or maybe he's just not quick or athletic enough to do that.
能得分, 但處理球自私。不太防守, 或者說..他的速度和體能不足以做好防守工作。

Small Forward - Andrei Kirilenko
The best stat-sheet filler in the NBA. Will get you points, rebounds, assists,
steals and blocks. Very athletic and energetic. Not a go-to guy, though.
NBA最佳數據魔人。能得分、籃板、助攻、抄截和火鍋。運動力和活力十足。
但他不是個go-to guy。

Power Forward - Carlos Boozer
Can average 20 points and 10 rebounds if healthy. Doesn't play with the
passion of his Duke and Cleveland years. Lack of size hurts him a little bit.
如果健康的話, 能有20-10的表現。打球沒有幾年前在杜克及克利夫蘭時期的熱情。
Size不足對他是個傷害。

Center - Mehmet Okur
A finesse big man able to score down low and from the perimeter.
Decent rebounder. Lacks toughness and athleticism.
內外通吃的技巧型長人。籃板能力不差。缺乏硬度和運動力。

Sixth Man - Matt Harpring
Great motor and great passion. Very strong. One of the best rebounders at
his position. Will get a lot of layups. Not a good shooter.
有極佳的拼勁和熱情。非常強壯。就他的位置來說, 是最好的籃板手之一。
將在籃下得到不少分數, 不是一名好的射手。
