    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If the Jazz could just get someone, anyone, to stand up and claim the job of shooting guard, Jerry Sloan perhaps could finally wrap yet another episode of What's My Starting Lineup.
    Instead, Sloan has spent much the preseason reviewing a string of contestants ranging from contenders to pretenders to play alongside point guard Deron Williams, small forward Andrei Kirilenko and the interchangeable power forward/center combination of Mehmet Okur and Carlos Boozer.
    "We're still looking around there," the Jazz coach said when asked about the question-mark position, "to see what we've got ? see if we can shoot the ball, and execute, and know what situation basketball is."
    Friday was no different.
    Second-season youngster C.J. Miles got the start at the 2 in a 112-96 exhibition loss to the Sacramento Kings, making him fourth different starter ? along with Gordan Giricek, Derek Fisher and first-round rookie Ronnie Brewer ? at the off-guard position in five preseason games to date.
    Predictably, reviews have been mixed.</div>

    I'd like an update on Ron Brewer. What are his strengths/weaknesses judging by the preseason?
