Both Kirilenko and Okur have been out for a couple of games also, Kirilenko with an injury and Okur dealing with an illness in the family, so the weight of these loses cannot be put on the absence of Williams alone. The Jazz have plenty of talent and should be able to beat the subpar teams in the league with some back-up players. Even an injury-battered Jazz team should have been able to beat the Charlotte Bobcats, but the Larry Brown-led Bobcats outlasted the Jazz 104-96.

They need Deron Williams to be healthy and to lead this team.

The Jazz's title of "superstar" has been passed around from Kirilenko to Harpring to Boozer. Utah has given away some potential leaders in Mo Williams and Carlos Arroyo (although Carlos seems to play much better in international play than against NBA competition). However, in the last year, point guard, Deron Williams has emerged as clear leader and "superstar" of the Utah Jazz.
