Utah Jazz 2008-09 Record: 48-34 Anticipated Starting Five PG- Deron Williams SG- Ronnie Brewer SF- Andrei Kirilenko PF- Carlos Boozer C- Mehmet Okur Key Reserves: Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver, Eric Maynor, C.J. Miles, Kosta Koufos Biggest Strength: Offensive execution and field goal shooting Every Jerry Sloan team is extremely efficient and precise on offense. This leads to great jobs more often than most teams. That will continue this season as well. The Jazz ranked third in field goal percentage last season and that's even with Deron Williams missing the beginning of the year and with him starting very slow when he did come back. I expect the Jazz to be in the top 10 in offensive rating and field goal percentage again this season.
