Second year player Deron Williams will handle the point after having a good rookie season.  Williams will probably look to pass a little more than he did last season as long as the Utah front line is healthy.  Williams averaged 10.8 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game last season.  Williams is an outstanding shooter, as he hit 41.6% of his three-pointers.

Williams’ teammate at Illinois, Dee Brown will probably open the year as Williams’ back-up.  He’s not as polished as Williams and more than likely will need a little time to adjust to the NBA.

Look for Derek Fisher, the likely starter at shooting guard, to get some minutes here too.
