I'm not a Jazz fan, but I'm very happy for the Jazz, and it's good that they've been able to play so well and win. If they can stay healthy, they're a ~50 or more win team, and they have the personell to be a top team. A Top PG, one of the NBA's better defenders and most versatile players, Boozer is looking like a 19-20 PPG, 10+ RPG PF, and they have a Top C in the league. SG is their weak spot, but as the year progresses, Brewer could become a nice defensive guy there.

Miles has been a bit inconsistent but he's still learning, Giricek is still working himself into basketball shape but has been a solid shoot so far, and Brewer is a rookie (Sloan doesn't play them ).
We're looking strong, been excellent leadership from Derek Fisher, Deron is dishing the ball really well, Andrei's shots hasn't been falling but he's been looking for his teammates a lot and playing excellent defense, Boozer's been very consistent with his double doubles, and Okur is looking to continue what he started from last year. The main question is the shooting guard position though, C.J. can shoot, but he doesn't have enough experience, veteran guards are going to take advantage of that(Rip's curls around, lost C.J. so many times). Giricek can shoot and does have experience but is he willing to work hard on defense or be aggresive, like the younger guys. Brewer has the athleticism, and all the defensize tools are there(size, quick feet, athleticism), but cant he spread the floor?! Which is something we really lack without Fisher or Williams in the game.
