Is the utah jazz somewhat similar to the once talented sacramento kings of 2000-2002?

Question

take for instance

***mike bibby - deron williams (PG, great court vision, great passer and scorer)

***peja stojakovic - kyle korver (excellent in shooting, young)

doug christy - andre kirilenko (AK47, great defensive player)

***chris webber - mehmet okur (Size, shooting percentage, 3pt shooter as well)

***vlade divac - carlos boozer(Actually a PF but plays center, rebounder)

if you take a look at the stats.. utah jazz has all the weapons as the kings(2000-2002).

who agrees?

Answer 1

no. they play differently. even though the kings did have yugoslav divac and the jazz have russian kirilenko. both non-americans.

Answer 2

nooooo

the Kings would dominate and Ronnie Brewer starts over Korver

The Kings could have won a couple of championship if the lakers werent in the way

Answer 3

I slightly agree with it, Your comparison is great enough.........

Yes...^^

Answer 4

bibby looks to shoot 1st williams pass

christy way better that ak47

peja far better than korver

webber in his prime was a top 5 player he was a low post player okur takes 3 all the time webber didnt start taking 3s till he got to phi

boozer far better than divac

the kings were  a better team and far diffrent than utah is

the kings were  fun to watch bc webber made it fun he could pass rebound play D and dominate the paint

Answer 5

not really. Sacramento had a better bench then the Utah Jazz of today.

Answer 6

bibby<williams

stojakovic>korver

christy<kirilenko

webber>okur

divac=boozer

Answer 7

i agree a little bit. but they are actually different in terms of the way they play. utah is more of a half court team. and sacramentos big men were much better passers. utah's more physical and better at rebounding. peja's much better than korver and ak47 is much better than doug christy. now that i think of it... i disagree.

Answer 8

not really. bibby was more of a jump shooter while derons a slasher. and u cant compare okur to webber in his prime. webbers was way too good. divac and boozer dont reali play the same cause divac was just the complimentary big man to webber while boozer was the main guy down low. pejas a way more consistent shooter than korver. and the kings bench would destroy utahs any day.

Answer 9

Deron Williams > Mike Bibby

Kyle Korver < Peja

Andre > Doug

okur < webber

boozer > divac

Utah has brewer and millsap

Utah is way better than the Kings, although the kings has good chemisty during those time.

Answer 10

With Webber in your lineup??? YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLE!!!

He sucked in every part of his career.  Lazy, no defense, doesn't dive for a looseball, etc.  Watch the NCAA championship.  His career started there.

Utah Jazz '08 are far better.  Deron Williams can take over a game.  No one on the '00, '01, '02 Kings can do that.
