    Mo surprised me alot, mostly because he gets a little time and what he does with it. He had a couple crucial shots last night, he's hustle is unbelievable, and he's ready to play when called upon. His aggresivness didn't surprised me, I saw him at the RMR. he's doing better then everybody thought he would. Raul Lopez surprised me alot too

    What about Raja Bell? I though this guy was a lost player after he left Philly but he is one of the main stays on Jerry sloans rotation because of his hustle and defensive play.

    Well i always knew that AK-47 was a great player but Raul Lopez, wow he is going to be something. he can fill up the box score on any given night. he is just an all around player.

    I am going to say Raul Lopez. For a Rookie, he knows how to run the Jerry Sloan system very well.

    Most of the Jazz team have played better than they were meant to. But the player that stands out for me has been Mo Williams. He is a rookie, a second round pick rookie. He started off as a guy who was lucky to get minutes, and most were saying he was a steal. Then, when Arroyo went down early in the season, he played off the bench backing up Raul Lopez. He played well, and has got more and more minutes as the season went on. Over the last 10 games or so, he's getting 8 minutes or more, and playing at the Shooting Guard. Yes, Shooting Guard. He's badly undersized, but he can play D and because he's been a PG can pass aswell. He's been trusted at crucial times, like the game against Sacramento and has come up big. I see him been a key part for Utah's franchise in the future.

    There is absolutely no way Utah will trade Andrei Kirilenko. He's got an extremely low pay rate, so he helps them a lot in the Salary cap. He was an all star at 22 or 23. There are only a couple of players who Utah would trade AK47 straight up for, because he will get better and is a rare kind of player. Utah would have to think about trading AK47 for Lebron, not that that will happen. So don't worry about that, Mo isn't as important to them and could be a filler in a trade someday.

    The thing about Mo is, I don't know why he didn't play like this last year at Alabama? I think the Jazz should try to keep all 3 of our PG's. At the beginning of the season, people would of said that we had the worse PG's in the Leagues, now we have 3 of the best young PG's in the League. The things I like about our Point Guards, they all have their own style but all 3 of them are effective, Arroyo is more of scorer, Lopez is a passer, Mo is a spark plug on both sides of the ball.
