Headlines

Okur chooses to stay in Utah: Center Mehmet Okur has decided to stay with the Utah Jazz for the final year of his contract. Okur joins teammates Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver, who also had the option of skipping the final year of their contracts and becoming free agents.

Fantasy Analysis

Okur is due $9 million next season. He has averaged 16 points and eight rebounds since joining the Jazz five years ago and is the team's top 3-point shooter -- a rarity among centers. With the Jazz returning practically the same team next season, Okur retains his appeal as a top-flight Fantasy center. In category-based play, what he lacks in rebounding for a center he more than makes up for with three-point shooting and free throw percentage. He'll be among the top 10 centers selected in all Fantasy leagues.
