|
| | | 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. | | WASHINGTON: GUARDS: JOHN WALL hasn't developed much diversity in his offensive game, but he's still really fast and an effective distributor. The improved supporting cast should help him reach the next level, assuming he feels no ill effects from the stress injury in his left knee that will keep him out until late November . . . BRADLEY BEAL is a great shooter, but he can also score off the dribble. Throw in his rebounding ability from the backcourt, and he should contribute in a number of ways as a rookie . . . JORDAN CRAWFORD is a pure scorer, but not an efficient one. He won't be able to hold off Beal for long, if at all . . . A.J. PRICE steps in as Wall's top backup. He'll play limited minutes with the second unit . . . SHELVIN MACK will be battling for a roster spot, most likely with underachieving swingman MARTELL WEBSTER. FORWARDS: TREVOR ARIZA should have no trouble stepping into the starting lineup. He'll at least have a chance to re-find his three-point shot getting drive-and-dish feeds from Wall . . . Nene^ will slide to the four with Emeka Okafor coming in. That means athletic, but raw, JAN VESELY will have to play with the second unit. He can really run the floor, but doesn't help much in the half-court game . . . TREVOR BOOKER is a very good screener on offense who holds his own defensively and on the boards. He still has a chance for a handful of starts if Nene^ or Okafor get hurt . . . CHRIS SINGLETON started a lot of games last year, but the defensive specialist will likely spend this season learning behind Ariza . . . CARTIER MARTIN never saw a shot he didn't like. CENTERS: NENE^ had some trouble with plantar fasciitis last year and playing in the Olympics didn't help. If healthy, he has a chance to be Washington's leading scorer . . . EMEKA OKAFOR will start alongside Nene^. He's the fifth-best option on offense, but holds his own defensively . . . KEVIN SERAPHIN has proven he can hold down a starting job. He'll come off the bench but should still have a significant role. |

*Jazz-Wizards Preview* ======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Utah (4-5) at Washington (0-7), 7:00 p.m. EDT
As the Utah Jazz try to remedy their season-long road struggles, a visit with the winless Washington Wizards might be just what they need.
The Jazz look to salvage a split of their four-game trip Saturday night when they visit a Wizards team trying to avoid a franchise-worst 0-8 start for the second consecutive season.
Utah fell to 1-6 on the road with a 99-93 loss at Philadelphia on Friday night despite getting 22 points in 28 minutes from Paul Millsap.
Millsap has done everything he can to help the team win on the road, averaging 25.3 points on 55.8 percent shooting and 9.3 rebounds on the trip.
After hitting two more from beyond the arc Friday, he's already reached a career high with 10 3-pointers in 17 attempts.
Al Jefferson, meanwhile, finished with 15 points and nine boards, but failed to reach double-digit rebounds for the first time in seven contests.
It might not take one of the league's top rebounders (11.5 per game) long to pick up his seventh double-double of the season, though. Jefferson has one in each of his last three games against Washington, including a season-high 34 points and 12 rebounds in a 114-100 home win Feb. 17.
The Jazz (4-6) outscored the Wizards 70-44 in the paint in that victory, but inside issues have haunted Utah on the road this season. Tyrone Corbin's team is getting outscored by an average of 49.4-40.9 in the paint away from home, while it's outscoring opponents 46.7-34.0 in Salt Lake City.
"This team has a lot of pride," Corbin said after the team's latest road loss. "I never question that."
The Jazz's troubles scoring away from EnergySolutions Arena extend outside the paint. Aside from a 140-point outburst in a triple-overtime win at Toronto earlier this week, the Jazz have averaged just 91.7 points on 42.6 shooting in six road defeats.
That's quite a contrast to how they've fared at home, where they're averaging 100.7 points in three wins.
Washington (0-7), the only team without a victory, has also struggled to put up points, ranking near the bottom of the league in scoring (88.1) and field goal percentage (40.7) with John Wall and Nene out.
Rookie Bradley Beal has the lowest scoring average of any team leader at 11.6, and he's scored a combined 16 points on 4 of 25 shooting in the last two games.
The Wizards, however, seemed to take a step in the right direction on Wednesday night when they eclipsed the 100-point mark for the first time in a 107-101 loss at Dallas.
Jordan Crawford led Washington with 21 points, while Kevin Seraphin had 16 and Cartier Martin 14 in just 10 minutes.
"Our record doesn't show how great of a group we are," said Martin, who made all four of his 3-pointers. "Everybody on this team can play. We're struggling right now, but we're going to continue to fight. We're not going to give up."
While the Wizards have had a tough time replacing Wall, things got worse at the point guard spot when A.J. Price sprained his right ankle against the Mavericks.
Price said he expects to play Saturday, but Washington made a move to attempt to upgrade its backcourt Thursday by waiving struggling guard Jannero Pargo and signing former Wizard Shaun Livingston.
The 6-foot-7 Livingston, who was waived by Houston last month, averaged 7.1 points in 27 starts for Milwaukee last season.
