24-year old C.J. Miles is likely going to see a huge bump in minutes for the Jazz this year.  He played in 78 games (19 starts) for the Jazz last year and he averaged 25.2 minutes, 12.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.  Miles has now played in 333 games (145 starts) in his first six years in the NBA and he is averaging 19.1 minutes, 8.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.  24-year old Jeremy Evans was really efficient offensively as a rookie last year as he shot an amazing 66.1% from the floor.  Evans played in 49 games (3 starts) for the Jazz last year and he averaged 9.4 minutes, 3.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game.  He should also see a bump in P.T. in 2011-12 for the Jazz.

Gordon Hayward might get his big shot this year for the Utah Jazz

When Raja Bell got injured last season, 21-year old Gordon Hayward really stepped up.  I think he will be starting at SG for the Jazz whenever the 2011-12 season begins.  He played in 72 games (17 starts) as a rookie last year and he averaged 16.9 minutes, 5.4 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.  His main asset is his long range shooting as he nailed 47.3% of his three point shots last year.  35-year old Raja Bell is known more for his defense than his offense.  He played in 68 games (63 starts) for the Jazz last year and he averaged 30.8 minutes, 8.0 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.  Bell has now played in 672 games (446 starts) in his NBA career and he is averaging 28.3 minutes, 10.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.  Bell has shot an amazing 40.6% of his three point shots in his career, which is pretty darn good.  19-year old Alec Burks was taken in the first round by the Jazz last June.  He averaged 20.5 points last year for Colorado, so he could be on the fast track to P.T. in Utah.
