"Morris is learning the offense more, and I think he is getting more comfortable," said Scott Layden, Jazz assistant coach. "He's got a great tempo and poise to his game." Entering the revue, Millsap was expected by many to dominate the play. He didn't disappoint most nights, including two game winners. Milsap finished with a team high 14.8 points per game and 7.3 rebounds during six games. Milsap was in shape and ready to show that last year wasn't some fluke for the 2006 second-round pick. Brown entered the revue as a free agent and has yet to sign anywhere. His fu- ture with Utah is certainly in doubt with the recent signing of Ronnie Price. The speedy guard also showed signs of growth but also had his fair share of struggles, including missing all five three-point attempts and shooting 59 percent from the free-throw line. Brewer and Araujo both suffered injuries during the week resulting in limited games for the pair. Brewer played in one game, spraining his ankle, while Aruajo managed to get three games in before being stricken to the bench with right adductor tendonitis. While Milsap, Brewer and Almond all remain under contract for Utah. Araujo's and Brown's future is still in question.
