What happens when Okur returns?

[jacobdrj]

Does he even have a place on the Jazz anymore? Does he come off the bench?

I'm sure Sloan will find some way to drive at least two players nutty-nuts.

[Venti Quattro]

Nothing, because he won't be seeing much action

I agree that Okur isn't a great team defender, but he's more than an average low post defender. I don't think it will hurt is much, especially considering he'll be playing off the bench for most of the season and limited minutes at that.

Just so you know...the Jazz lead the league in opponents FG%, second in 3 point FG%, and until last night we were in the top 10 for opponents PPG average (now 11th). The rap on Utah has always been poor defense and can't win on the road. Well, our defense is solid and we have a better road record than home record.

#1 in opponents fg%.

We've been great defensivly this season you bum.

As soon as we lost Boozer we were guaranteed to be better on defense.

[JamStone]

Better front court depth.

I actually don't think Memo will have a problem coming off the bench. I do think any one of the three main bigs can come off the bench though.

[DJ Mbenga]

means elson can go back to warming the bench. their defense will suffer. dont know how it will affect chemistry. right now they have everything going their way.

Sloan has a hard couple of decisions to make.
