<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">So this is where the Utah Jazz left off on their way to reconstruction. But finally it seems to be here: A lineup for all seasons. You want versatility? They have versatility by the bushel. Ten players got into Wednesday's season-opening 107-97 win over Houston in the first 15 minutes, each scoring points. In bygone days, the Jazz could go weeks without using that many players. You want youth? How about a handful of kids still too young to rent a car in some states? C.J. Miles is just 19, Deron Williams, Ronnie Brewer and Millsap 21. Even Old Man Andrei Kirilenko ? who by now is a grizzled veteran ? is just 25. You want athleticism? Look up ? but cover your head. Brewer's leaping one-handed slam off a Williams pass in the first half shook the foundation. Then there was Brewer's twisting windmill layup in the third period that had no business even finding the rim. Three-pointers? Though the Jazz only made a so-so 3 of 10 from the arc, one was by Matt Harpring with just over six minutes remaining that halted what looked to be a Houston rally. Leadership? Derek Fisher's clutch 19-footer with 1:12 to go was everything they hoped for when they signed him: cool, accurate and timely. This, then, is the new, streamlined Jazz. The very same New Jazz whose progress was interrupted by Carlos Boozer's balky hamstring, Andrei Kirilenko's ankle and back, and a cluster of other misfortunes.</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
