Starter at PF still yet to be decided

-------------

"Outsiders who debate whether the Utah Jazz will start C.J. Miles or Andrei Kirilenko at small forward might have been asking the wrong question.

 

After the open scrimmage Saturday, the more pertinent question might be: Will Kirilenko or Paul Millsap start at power forward?

 

Kirilenko started at the 4 spot on the blue team, alongside Miles and probable starters Deron Williams, Raja Bell and Al Jefferson. Millsap was the starting power forward for the white team, which included several guys likely to play reserve roles — Earl Watson, Gordon Hayward, Kyrylo Fesenko and roster hopeful Sundiata Gaines.

 

Jazz coach Jerry Sloan has repeated that it's too early to name starters, so it's unknown whether that was a sign of things to come or simply a scrimmage strategy to spread out talent and playing time.

 

With Mehmet Okur out rehabbing his surgically repaired Achilles heel, Jefferson has been concentrating on the center position, and Kirilenko has been practicing a lot as a power forward.

 

"When we look at our team, he's probably going to have to play some at 4," Sloan said of Kirilenko. "That's where he's always played some of his best basketball."

 

Even became an All-Star playing there in 2004."
