In the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, Steve Luhm writes "the Utah Jazz have picked up their option on Ronnie Brewer's contract for the 2008-09 season, according to vice president of basketball operations Kevin O'Connor.

Coach Jerry Sloan said after the Jazz's 102-81 win in their exhibition game Tuesday night that Brewer will likely be the Jazz's starting shooting guard in the season-opener at Golden State on Oct. 30.”
