<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><span id="slt_site"><span id="slt_article">If the decision is as simple as Jazz coach Jerry Sloan made it sound Monday, Gordan Giricek will be in the starting lineup on opening night Oct. 30 at the newly created position of "making guard." More likely, Sloan couldn't resist having some fun after yet another day passed with a question trying to clear up the mystery of who will start at shooting guard for the Jazz this season. "Shooting guard?" Sloan said. "We're trying to find a guard that's a making guard. I've heard so much about shooting guards. Anybody can shoot it. We're just trying to get somebody that's going to make 'em at that position." Following that logic, Giricek is the best candidate the Jazz have. Not only did he make 42.6 percent of his three-pointers last season (on the NBA's second-worst three-point shooting team), Giricek would be the starter by default based on experience alone. Nothing with Giricek, though, is quite so cut and dried. The 30-year-old is back for his fifth season with the Jazz, but not before a summer in which both Giricek and the team were said to be open to a trade. "I was hoping I'm going to come back,'' Giricek said. "Really, I didn't want to put too much pressure on myself. My agent was telling me something about trade and stuff, but I wasn't concerned too much. Whatever's going to happen was going to happen.</div></span></span></p> <span id="slt_site"><span id="slt_article">Source: Salt Lake City Tribune</span></span></p>
