Brevin Knight

Knight is the most significant offseason acquisition, giving the Jazz a capable veteran backup to Deron Williams at point guard. Knight doesn’t need a lot of minutes to be effective and is a smart distributor with a low A:TO ratio (6.6 apg/2.0 tpg). He won’t get enough minutes in Utah to be worth a spot on fantasy rosters, but if given the opportunity (an injury to Deron Williams), Knight is a nightly starter. Ronnie Brewer: Brewer is the forgotten man in Utah’s starting five. Everyone knows Deron Williams as one of the Association’s top points. Carlos Boozer is a 20-10 man. Mehmet Okur qualifies at center and hits threes, and Andrei Kirileno, just a season or two ago, was a top-10 fantasy player. Then there’s the relatively anonymous Brewer, who more than doubled his production in just about every fantasy hoop category last season, and who could emerge as a real force. In 76 games and starts, Brewer averaged 12 points – up from 4.6 his rookie year, along with 1.8 assists (from 0.4), 2.9 rebounds (from 1.3) and 1.7 steals (0.7). Even his three-point shooting improved, but when the jump is from 0.00 percent to .220, we’re talking about “atrocious” to merely “ghastly.”
