I really like what the Jazz showed me last season, Williams' emergence, coupled with Boozer's strong play really took them far. Was last season an exception, or will the Jazz actually take the next step into the Mavs/Suns/Spurs class?</p> And how good will Deron Williams be at the end of the year? Significantly better than Paul?</p>
If they can do what they did last year they should be elite, no question.</p> Next year should be a great battle between C. Paul and D. Williams. If they can stay healthy.</p> If NO had a better team the NBA would be in great shape with the Jazz and Hornets rivarly, but oh well.</p>
The historical trend is that the championship teams have a player on the team (or two) who are arguably the best player in the league. Is Deron that player? Do the Jazz have anyone else you could argue the case for?</p> </p>

If Al Harrinton and Boozer were on opposite teams, the Warriors win that series. San Antonio beats both of them regardless. San Antonio is just going to reload and wreck Utah once again if they meet them. </p> How good will D-Will be? Not a blip on anyone's radar.</p> </p>
I'm trying to be fair to Paul because he was banged up at times last year. It's appearing that way though, Deron looks like a better scorer.</p>
