20-year old center Kosta Koufos has stunk so bad this season that he was demoted to the D-League for a while. He has played in 22 games (0 starts) for the Jazz so far this season and he is averaging 3.7 minutes, 1.2 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game. Koufos is only shooting 39.1% from the floor this season which is down right pathetic for a player his size (7′0″, 265 pounds). He is still young but his play is regressing and that has to have the Jazz concerned.

Deron Williams has been one of the best PG’s in the NBA for the past few seasons, and this year is no different.  This season Williams is averaging 19.0 points, 9.5 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals, 49% FG, and 38% 3Pt.  Williams has led the Jazz to an 28-18 record this season, and they have really played great basketball in the last month.  They have won 5 in a row and went 10-4 in January, with Williams leading the way for them at point guard.  Things were looking a little shaky for the Jazz after the first 2 months of the season, but they have really been hitting their stride lately and are one of the more dangerous teams in the Western Conference once again.  Deron Williams is the main reason why and as he goes, so go the Jazz.
