O'Connor expects Jazz to play it safe w/ Okur
Mehmet Okur - F/C - Utah Jazz

Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor said that he expects the team to "tread lightly" with PF/C Mehmet Okur (Achilles, back).
This is in line with our expectations, but it's worth noting that the organization isn't coming out guns blazing telling us how aggressive the plan on being with him. With the crowded frontcourt situation being what it is, we expect Okur to play a 10-14 minutes per game. If the Jazz have an extraordinary need to stretch the floor one night, they'll bump it up.
