Utah Jazz
Head Coach: Jerry Sloan
Internet Site: http://www.nba.com/jazz/
2000-01 Record: 53-29 (T-2nd place, Midwest Division)
Team Outlook: Sure they keep getting older. Sure they’re due for the big crash. Yet somehow, the Jazz qui-
etly go about their business, win 50+ games during the regular season, and forge into the playoffs as one
of those teams that nobody wants to play. Things should be no different this year. It’s clearly John
Stockton and Karl Malone’s team, but for Utah to return to the NBA Finals, they’ll need someone like
Donyell Marshall, Quincy Lewis or Bryon Russell to have a monster year.
Key Performers:
#34 PF Karl Malone
It’s hard to look at someone that still averages 23.2
points per game and say “he’s not the player he once
was.” He’s still every bit that player, and will be every bit
as dangerous come playoff time. His ability to get to the
hole has set him apart as a player, and he still manages
to pull down close to ten rebounds every night.
#12 PG John Stockton
The NBA’s all-time assists leader, Stockton can still
distribute the ball as well as any point guard in the
game. He doubles as the NBA’s all-time steals
leader, and even at 39, retains the ability to shut
down opposing point guards with his smarts, hus-
tle and extraordinary court awareness.
Washington Wizards
Head Coach: Doug Collins
Internet Site: http://www.nba.com/wizards/
2000-01 Record: 19-63 (7th place, Atlantic Division)
Team Outlook: You can throw last year’s record right out the window. As we all know, things’ll be different
in the nation’s capital this year - a LOT different. In fact, many predict that Washington will become instant
playoff contenders with the changes they’ve made to the makeup of the ball club. Regardless, the Wiz will
need continued improvement from youngsters like Richard Hamilton and Courtney Alexander, and will
need #1 pick Kwame Brown to arrive quickly if this team is to get that far.
Key Performers:
#32 SF Richard Hamilton
Though he's quietly emerged as one of the bright
young stars of the NBA, "Rip" has become something
of a forgotten man in Washington. He more than dou-
bled his scoring average from his rookie season to
18.1 ppg last year, and might see that number increase
this year if teams overlook him again this year.
#5 PF Kwame Brown
As the #1 overall pick in last year’s draft, Brown has
high expectations to live up to. The 19-year-old will
begin learning the ropes by coming off the bench in
his freshman NBA season, but his incredible athletic
ability may earn him a starting spot before long.
Comparisons to Kevin Garnett aren’t too far-fetched.
