|
| |  | UTAH: GUARDS: MO WILLIAMS will get a crack at running the point in Utah. He's more of a combo guard, but he'll do fine in an offense that revolves around the bigs . . . RANDY FOYE is a gunning combo guard who will step in as Utah's sixth man . . . ALEC BURKS started to come on late last year, making Raja Bell expendable. He'll come off the bench, but if he can start knocking down perimeter shots, he's in for a much bigger role . . . Yeah, that's right, EARL WATSON and JAMAAL TINSLEY are both still around. And they're both riding pine in Salt Lake . . . KEVIN MURPHY is a cagey scorer from tiny Tennessee Tech (no word on his Golden Tee skills). FORWARDS: PAUL MILLSAP was Utah's best all-around player last season and will be playing for a new contract. He should be able to keep his minutes despite Utah's young bigs behind him . . . GORDON HAYWARD will probably slide to the two. He has a chance for a breakout year after a strong finish to 2011-12 . . . MARVIN WILLIAMS gets a fresh start in Utah after a disappointing run in Atlanta. He figures to have a similar complementary role with the Jazz . . . DERRICK FAVORS is a long-term solution in the frontcourt. His offensive game is coming on, and he's already a far better defender than Al Jefferson . . . Slam dunk champion JEREMY EVANS and DeMARRE CARROLL will both provide energy off the bench. CENTERS: Like Millsap, AL JEFFERSON will hit free agency after the season. He's an incredibly limited player, a great scorer in the low post, but incapable of any other contributions and a huge liability on defense . . . ENES KANTER is still a few years away from a starting job. He has some rough edges to his game, but really had no problem adjusting to the physicality of the NBA. | | SACRAMENTO: GUARDS: MARCUS THORNTON is the only one guaranteed a consistent role on the perimeter . . . ISAIAH THOMAS was the story of the second half for the Kings. He can fill up the box score, but at 5-foot-9 (at best) he's too much of a defensive liability and not a point guard . . . AARON BROOKS is the most talented guard on this team. He's had attitude problems in the past, but he could, and should, lead this team . . . Now that he remained in Sacto, TYREKE EVANS will be playing off the ball at the three against his wishes . . . The Kings will keep on trying to unload JOHN SALMONS, who's not a useful NBA player . . . JIMMER FREDETTE should have a role off the bench, but his ball-handling is not where it has to be for an NBA point guard . . . FRANCISCO GARCIA's chance seems to have passed him by. FORWARDS: THOMAS ROBINSON should emerge as a starter early in his rookie year. He has his flaws on both ends of the floor, but he brings energy and doesn't need a lot of touches to get his points . . . Even if Robinson knocks him to the bench, JASON THOMPSON should play the five at times and see close to starter's minutes . . . JAMES JOHNSON should also play big minutes soon considering his ability to make positive contributions without a lot of touches . . . CHUCK HAYES should continue to play second-unit minutes as a glue guy . . . TRAVIS OUTLAW has regressed to the point that he's lucky to have a roster spot . . . TYLER HONEYCUTT has an intriguing skill set as a defensive-minded point forward, but he's likely ticketed for the D-League again. CENTERS: DeMARCUS COUSINS came on strong late last season. There's no doubt he has All-Star potential, but between his awful shot selection and occasional attitude problems, he just hasn't lived up to his potential. After Team USA passed on him this summer because of reported maturity problems, he might still not get it. |

*Jazz-Kings Preview* ====================
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer
Utah (28-23) at Sacramento (17-33), 10:00 p.m. EDT
The second meeting this week between the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings could be the last one ever.
In search of a bounce-back performance Saturday night, the Jazz are looking to again capitalize on the lowly Kings, who now seem more likely to move north on a map than in the standings.
Utah (28-23) has taken two of three season meetings versus Sacramento (17-33), including Monday's 98-91 overtime victory at home.
This matchup may not only conclude the season series, but the all-time one.
The Kings seemed to move another step closer to relocating to Seattle and becoming the SuperSonics on Wednesday. NBA Commissioner David Stern said the ownership group led by Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer, which recently reached an agreement to purchase 65 percent of the Kings from the Maloof family for $525 million, has formally filed for relocation with the league.
Stern called the group "very strong," and said the appropriate committees have been convened to look over the proposed sale and potential move for next season.
For now, the Kings open a two-game homestand looking to win for just the second time in 10 games. They've averaged 104.8 points while winning three of the past four when hosting Utah, including a 108-97 victory Nov. 24.
Unlike Sacramento, the Jazz - who moved to Salt Lake City from New Orleans nearly 34 years ago - have been active sine the most recent matchup earlier this week. They followed up that victory with Wednesday's 100-86 win over Milwaukee, but concluded their homestand 2-1 by falling 93-89 to Chicago on Friday.
Al Jefferson can't be blamed for the loss since he had a season-high 32 points with 13 rebounds, two blocks and two steals. The big man had 12 points and 12 rebounds in the last matchup with the Kings.
"If he's making his shot like that he's unstoppable," Jazz guard Randy Foye said. "You already know what he can do with his back to the basket."
Jefferson is averaging 15.8 points and 7.5 rebounds over his past four visits to Sacramento.
Foye had 20 points while hitting 3 of 5 from behind the arc against the Kings on Monday, and he's averaging 18.4 while sinking 48.9 percent from long range over his last seven games.
If the Kings are going to avoid matching their season-high five-game losing streak from Nov. 9-18, they'll probably need DeMarcus Cousins on the court.
The mercurial center was ejected before halftime Monday, getting his second technical after using an expletive while arguing with officials about the first foul. He finished with 10 points and six rebounds, well below his team-leading averages of 17.2 and 10.0.
"I shouldn't have said that," Cousins said. "That's about it."
Cousins is averaging 12.7 points and 7.3 boards against the Jazz this season. He had 20.4 points and 13.6 rebounds per game over the previous eight matchups.
Jason Thompson picked up the slack in Cousins' absence Monday, scoring a season-high 23 with 10 boards after averaging 6.2 points his prior 14 games.
Tyreke Evans has averaged 22.7 points in 12 career meetings with Utah, totaling 47 over the past two.
