During the month of January his scoring numbers fell slightly to 11.8 points per game, but his assists were up to 6.8 per game. He has also been grabbing 3 rebounds per game during the month.
His best game of the month was in the Jazz's game against the Pistons in Detroit. In that game he scored 20 points and dished out 12 assists as the Jazz beat the Pistons 110-89.
