Best option for Williams' minutes?
CHICAGO ‘ After Deron Williams sprained his left ankle in Saturday night’s preseason win at Chicago, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan addressed options for filling Williams’ minutes.
Among them:
‘More minutes for Utah Valley product Ronnie Price, a combo guard who finished last season as Williams’ top backup;
‘Time for Brevin Knight, but only after the veteran ‘ acquired in the offseason for this very situation ‘ recovers from a sprained thumb and grows more accustomed to running the Jazz offense;
‘Using swingman C.J. Miles in an emergency role should both Williams and Knight be out, though with less ballhandling on the offensive end than he’s dealt with during the preseason;
‘Utilizing usual forward Andrei Kirilenko as a point-forward, and having the ball run through him much.
Best option among the four?
You make the call.
