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.

The Utah Jazz have acquired sharp shooting small forward Kyle Korver from the Utah Jazz for Gordan Giricek and a conditional first round pick. This was a great move for the Jazz as Giricek was just too soft to depend on and he was in Jerry Sloan’s Dog House. Korver has played in 2 games so far for the Jazz and he has averaged 14.5 minutes, 12.5 points, 1.0 rebound and 0.5 assists per game. Korver has now played in 27 games this season and he is averaging 25.4 minutes, 10.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.

Guard Morris Almond and center Kyrylo Fesenko are certainly not looking like last year’s haul of Paul Millsap and Ronnie Brewer. Almond was selected to take on Brewer in training camp for the starting shooting guard spot and he lost out. He has played in 4 games this season and he is averaging 3.0 minutes and has yet to score. Fesenko has played in 7 games so far this season and he’s averaging 9.0 minutes, 1.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. Don’t look for either of these guys to get increased playing time any time soon as Coach Sloan is old school and makes players earn time on the court.
