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.

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.

Guards Wesley Matthews and Sundaita Gaines both were undrafted last June but they have both helped the Jazz this season. Matthews has played in 56 games (22 starts) for the Jazz this season and he is averaging 21.8 minutes, 8.2 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game. He is back into the starting lineup at shooting guard for the Jazz after the trade of Ronnie Brewer. Gaines has played in 13 games (0 starts) for the Jazz and he is averaging 7.8 minutes, 3.7 points, 0.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Gaines will be most remembered for hitting a game winning shot against the Cavaliers in Salt Lake City as time expired.

The Jazz have traded 24-year old shooting guard Ronnie Brewer to the Grizzlies for a lottery protected first round pick in 2011. Brewer played in 53 games (all starts) for the Jazz this season and he averaged 31.4 minutes, 9.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game. He finishes his career with the Jazz having played in 266 games (223 starts) in which he averaged 26.4 minutes, 10.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game. This trade looks money driven and for that reason I don’t like it. The Jazz are hot right now and they didn’t need to subtract a starting player from the team.
