82games.com just updated their stats today.
Jefferson is worst on the team (among regulars...Murph is worse) in net +/- ((oncourt +/-) - (offcourt +/-)). That is, when Jefferson is on the court, the Jazz get outscored by 2.3 pts/48; when he's off the court, the Jazz outscore their opponents by 2.4 pts/48.
The 3 worst regulars in terms of opponents' pts/48 (defense) are Mo, Al and Randy at 1.11 pts/possession.
Also of note: Among the 4 bigs, Kanter has the highest eFG% on jumpers and has the lowest % of his buckets assisted. He seems to have cut down on getting stripped. Now he just needs to learn how not to get his passes picked off. Promising.

Thank you.
Agree. The PG's and SF's had ample opportunity to step up and hit shots. The game was lost because Utah was playing 3 on 5 at the end. Carroll missed shots, Burks missed shots,
From the time the game was tied at 71 early in the 4th, Carroll, Williams and Burks missed a combined 6 shots, most of them pretty easy looks. Down the strecth, Chicago just abused the bigs down low, getting FT's or easy buckets. It was one of the worst final 2 mins. I've seen.
When one door closes, another doesn't open....instead, I find myself being locked in a room with padded walls and no windows.
