Kyle Korver got a late start to the season but it hasn’t affected his shot this season as he is shooting 51.7% from the floor and a stunning 55.2% from three point range. Korver has played in 41 games (0 starts) this season for the Jazz in which he is averaging 17.0 minutes, 7.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. He is the Jazz’ secret weapon off the bench.

23-year old G/F C.J. Miles has really picked up his play as of late. In his last three games, Miles has averaged 35.0 minutes, 19.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Miles has now played in 52 games (18 starts) this season for the Jazz and he is averaging 22.3 minutes, 9.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. The Jazz will keep giving Miles big minutes if he continues to play at a high level.

Ever since Carlos Boozer joined the Utah Jazz in the 2004-’05 season, he has been one of the top power forwards in the game.  Boozer doesn’t have the best length or athleticism at his position, but he is a constant double-double threat and a good physical defender.  He basically will go for 20 points and 10 rebounds on almost every night.  This season has been no different, with Boozer averaging 19.4 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.5 blocks.   He is also shooting a red-hot 55% from the field and 75% from the free throw line.  Boozer has been a great complement to point guard Deron Williams, and they have continued the Stockton-Malone tradition of the great point guard/power forward combination in Utah.  The Jazz have had a great season this year, and currently sit at the fourth spot in the Western Conference with a record of 44-24.  They are only 2.5 games out of the second spot, and six back of the first place Los Angeles Lakers.

25-year old power forward was excited when he got a huge offer sheet from the Portland Trailblazers last summer but the Jazz matched it. Now he is just biding him time as a backup until Carlos Boozer’s contract ends or he is traded. Millsap has played in 64 games (5 starts) for the Jazz this season and he is averaging 27.6 minutes, 11.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocked shots. Millsap is shooting an outstanding 55.9% from the floor this season for the Jazz. The Jazz know that Millsap will be a great player for them down the road and he is playing hard despite probably being disappointed with his amount of playing time this year.

The Jazz sprinted to a win last night outscoring the Suns 41-22 in the 4th quarter. Deron Williams led the way for the Jazz last night with 27 points and 9 assists. Mehmet Okur also had a good game for the Jazz last night with 24 points and 6 rebounds. Carlos Boozer was his usual tough self down low as he finished up with 15 points, 15 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. C.J. Miles pitched in with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 27 minutes off the bench last night. The Jazz are now 39-22 on the season.

Deron Williams does just about everything for his team and he is the main reason why the Utah Jazz are 38-22 this season.  He is averaging 18.4 points, 10.1 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.2 steals.  He is shooting 47% from the field on the season, but lately his shot has been pretty inconsistent from night to night.  It may be that his legs are wearing down towards the end of the season, but he hasn’t really put up two good shooting nights in consecutive games in the past month.  For example, last game they lost to the Clippers 108-104 and Williams went 5-15 from the field for 13 points.  The game before that the Jazz blew out the Rockets 133-110 and Williams went a red-hot 13-17 from the field for 35 points.  The game before that was a loss to the Kings, and Williams only went 4-16 from the field for 10 points.  He had 20 points on 8-17 shooting before that, and you get were I am going.  In the past month, if you look at Williams game log, there is almost a pattern of one good shooting night, followed by one bad shooting night, and then followed by one good shooting night, etc.  The Jazz have only lost three games since February 1st, and in those three losses Williams had very bad shooting nights.  So, Williams needs to focus on trying to end this pattern and try and get a few good shooting nights together.  If this type of thing happens in a playoff series, it would be very bad for the Jazz chances.

The Jazz just didn’t have enough to beat a very motivated Clippers’ team in L.A. last night. Carlos Boozer led the way for the Jazz last night with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocked shots. Paul Millsap had a decent game off the bench for the Jazz with 17 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots in 34 minutes on the floor. Kyle Korver had a outstanding game last night for the Jazz with 16 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in only 21 minutes off the bench. The Jazz are now 38-22 on the season.
