Guard Gordon Giricek (tendonitis in Achilles) and Andrei Kirilenko (ankle) will each miss a few games.  Rookie Ronnie Brewer will start in Kirilenko’s spot.  Also look for Matt Harpring to get alot of extra minutes to cover for Giricek and Kirilenko.

Mehmet Okur really had an outstanding season last year averaging 18.0 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.  Okur is kind of an odd center because he shot over 200 3-pointers last season and still did a good job of rebounding.  His combination of being a good open court player and an outstanding shooter creates mis-matches for the Jazz when they’re on offense.  For his career, Okur has averaged 12.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.

Rafael Araujo is basically just a banger in the paint.  Araujo has averaged 2.9 points and 3.0 rebounds per game over his two-year career.
