FanHouse Rotation: Fear the Utah Jazz

I take back everything I've ever said about Ziller. Thanks for the props.

Utah’s offensive weakness — point guard depth — will be hidden in the postseason. If there’s one position where Utah has no depth, it’s point guard. Ronnie Price is a saint serviceable at best; Brevin Knight is … alive, at best. The drop-off between Williams and Price/Knight is monumental.

Hopefully come playoff time, Deron is fully rested and can play 45 to 48 minutes a game. Stern has stretched out the series’ so far, it just might be possible.

I actually think that this is no longer a problem.

The only time that Knight looks bad is when he is needed to score. But when we are healthy, he does a perfect job of hounding the opponents point guard and getting steals and feeding Korver, Kirilenko, and Millsap, and even Harpring. He looked awful when he was out on the floor with a lineup of Fesenko, Koufos, Harpring, Korver, etc. He’s not a scorer, but he can run the second team and that’s all we will need him to do.

The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
