The Utah Jazz only change one starter for 2007-08
The Jazz had no choice to change one player as Derek Fisher left the team as a free agent to sign with a city that had a hospital that could treat his baby daughter for cancer. Here’s to hoping she has a full recovery because Derek Fisher and his family are all class. 2nd year man Ronnie Brewer won the starting shooting guard job in Training Camp and he probably is a better player than Fisher anyways. Brewer played in 56 games (14 starts) last season for the Jazz and he averaged 12.0 minutes, 4.6 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. Deron Williams will try to improve on his outstanding sophomore season this year. He played in 80 games (all starts) last year for the Jazz and he averaged 36.9 minutes, 16.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game. Carlos Boozer is back to do his best Karl Malone imitation. He played in 74 games (all starts) last season for the Jazz and he averaged 34.6 minutes, 20.9 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. Mehmet Okur started at center for the Jazz last season and he had a great season. He played in 80 games (all starts) for the Jazz last year and he averaged 17.6 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. The Jazz really need AK-47 to be focused and improve on last season so that he won’t incur the wrath of his owner again. Kirilenko played in 70 games (all starts) last season for the Jazz and he averaged 29.3 minutes, 8.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 blocked shots per game.
