Andrei Kirilenko is back to stuffing the stat sheet just like the Jazz like him to this season. He has played in 27 games (8 starts) for the Jazz this season and he is averaging 29.4 minutes, 10.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.0 blocked shots per game. The Jazz prefer to bring AK-47 off the bench where they can just turn him loose to play all out.

Ronnie Brewer has really played well this season despite not being a top option on the offense. Brewer has played in 30 games (all starts) for the Jazz this season and he is averaging 34.6 minutes, 10.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.8 steals per game. Brewer will likely get more shots down the road for the Jazz but until then he will keep doing the little things that winning teams like the Jazz need him to do.

C.J. Miles has been recovering from a injury which kept him out about 1.5 months to start the season. But, he has now bumped rookie Wesley Matthews out of the starting line-up. Miles has played in 10 games (1 start) for the Jazz so far this season and he is averaging 22.3 minutes, 9.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. This is a good sign for the Jazz as Matthews should strengthen the bench while Miles should give the Jazz more firepower in the starting line-up.

Paul Millsap is making the most of his playing time this season. He has played in 28 games (0 starts) in which he is averaging 25.8 minutes, 10.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. The Jazz tried like hell to trade Carlos Boozer last summer but they couldn’t find any takers. Boozer has played really well this season but it is blocking Paul Millsap from getting the playing time he deserves. Millsap has been a good soldier as he is just waiting for his next chance at the starting line-up.

The Jazz started the season short handed due to injuries which gave undrafted rookie guard Wesley Matthews his big chance to shine and he has run with it. Matthews has played in 24 games (16 starts) for the Jazz this season and he is averaging 26.2 minutes, 8.6 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. The Jazz have quite a find in Matthews and he will continue to get his minutes as long as he keeps playing well.

The Utah Jazz did everything they could to trade Carlos Boozer over the summer but they couldn’t find any takers. Boozer has responded by playing great so far this season which has limited Paul Millsap’s playing time this year but he’s making the most of it. Millsap has played in 17 games (0 starts) for the Jazz this season and he is averaging 26.1 minutes, 9.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.2 blocked shots per game. Millsap will likely get into the starting lineup at some point this season if the Jazz decide to trade Boozer of if he were to get injured.

Carlos Boozer is off to a good start for the Jazz this season. He has played in 7 games (all starts) for the Jazz this season and he is averaging 35.0 minutes, 16.7 points, 11.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game. The Jazz tried to move Boozer in a trade all summer but they couldn’t find any takers. They figured that Paul Millsap was ready to move into the starting lineup as he played very well when Boozer was out of action. Still, the Jazz have to be happy with the way that Boozer is playing so far this season.

With all of the injuries the Jazz have suffered before the season started they needed Andrei Kirilenko to step up and that he has done so far this year. Kirilenko has started the first three games of the season for the Jazz and he is averaging 39.7 minutes, 13.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.7 blocked shots. The Jazz need Kirilenko to keep up the good work until reinforcements arrive later in the year.

A.K. 47 is back for the Jazz. Kirilenko is over his crying spat in the playoffs last season and he has been playing very well this season for the Jazz. Kirilenko has played in 33 games this season for the Jazz and he is averaging 34.1 minutes, 11.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.0 blocks per game. The Jazz will be even more dangerous in the post season this year with A.K. 47 healthy and productive.

Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer have been outstanding so far this season. Deron Williams is on fire in December as he’s played in 4 games this month and he’s averaging 38.5 minutes, 30.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.0 steal per game. He also is shooting the heck out of the basketball. He has hit 57.4% from the floor, 60% from three point range and 85.7% from the free throw line. Carlos Boozer has also been outstanding this month. He has played in 4 games this month and he has averaged 34.8 minutes, 23.8 points, 12.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He also has nailed 58.6% of his shots from the floor which is outstanding. The Jazz will continue to be great as long as Williams & Boozer both stay healthy.
