I've watched both games on TV of the Utah Jazz going against different opponents. Right about now they miss Dee Brown, a point guard familiar with the offense to make everyone else look better. I would say Morris Almond is still looking good, and with CJ Miles getting a 4-year, $15 million deal with Oklahoma City, it looks like the Jazz now have an opening for their third-string shooting guard.
The two big men, rookie Kosta Koufos and 2nd year man Kyrylo Fesenko, don't look as ready as Almond to permanently occupy an NBA roster. I imagine unless the Jazz see serious improvement this fall, they'll keep Jarron Collins as their backup center, play a lot of Carlos Boozer and Paul Millsap together as the 4 and 5, and let Koufos and Fesenko take turns playing for the Utah Flash, the Jazz's D-League team. It may also mean the Jazz look at Kurt Thomas or another veteran big man who can play the 4 or 5 to fill the 15th spot on the roster with a one-year mid-level deal.
