Nice summary, Austin. I agree with most of what you said, although I'm not quite as high on Utah's frontcourt as you seem to be. They have talent, but they don't complement each other. You can check out my assessment on the upcoming season if you're curious: Utah Jazz Season Preview 2009-10

so remember the Olajuwon Rockets in 96 when they came from nowhere to win it all? That’s the comparison I’m going to make with this Jazz team. They definitely have the pieces in place to make a serious run at the title, and with a few breaks here and there, and if they can stay healthy and other teams struggle with injuries it could happen. If everyone is the league is healthy the Jazz are a top 5 team, but they are good enough to sneak in and take it from someone and this could be the season.
Regardless I’m saying they’re the 3 seed in the West behind SA and LAL and will win the NW.

I have something called Osteogenesis Imperfecta. It’s a genetic disorder. I don’t make a particular protein very well and it makes my bones very low in density… very easy to break.

They also lost Morris Almond, he was going to take Brewers place, but Brewer started playing better. It is sad to loose Almond because he was dropping 50 in the D-League. Isn’t he with the Magic or where did he end up? The Jazz will be a surprise this year and go for the Wesrern Confrerence Title.

Pre-season showed some positive signs on the defensive end.

However, injury remains a very big concern to the Jazz. And, yes, they have frontcourt depth, but they are not as long as the other elite teams in the league.

Another team is going to have to knock GM Kevin O’Connor’s socks off with its proposal for Boozer. The owner has already suggested he’ll keep Carlos and let him walk for nothing if this season is a successful one for Utah. With a renewed commitment to defense, I think it will be. Western Finalist is the floor; ceiling’s the whole shebang.
